The student/family is obligated to assume the responsibility for the care and safekeeping of school property such as, but not limited to, textbooks, library books, laptop computers, calculators, and musical instruments, while assigned to the student’s use. Lost property is deemed as the non-return of the actual property, which was issued to the student. The student will be assessed charges for school property that is lost or damaged. Charges for lost or damaged textbooks or other property are based on the current replacement cost as pursuant to items 4 and 6 of the Student/Parent Technology Equipment Use Agreement.  

Thank you,

Mr. Justin Correll, Principal 

Without Internet access and connected devices, many students in our communities lack the ability to participate in remote learning and complete homework after the school day has ended. In an effort to identify these gaps, the PA Association of Intermediate Units (PAIU) and Penn State Extension have teamed up to conduct a short survey. The data collected will greatly assist our schools with obtaining local, state and federal broadband funding to provide additional resources to our students and families. Thank you in advance for your time in taking this survey!

Our schools will be having Solomon Disney Day to benefit A Moment of Magic Foundation. Kylee McGrane is the Founder and Executive Director of A Moment of Magic Foundation. She is a WBASD Graduate! Their mission is to restore the magic of believing at a time when a child needs to “just-be-a-kid” and to remind them to be BRAVE, STRONG, and FEARLESS! Since 2014 our volunteers have provided programming to 85 hospitals, collaborated with 129 nonprofit organizations and restored the magic into the lives of over 100,000 children worldwide suffering from cancer and other medical situations.

Students are encouraged to dress in Disney/Marvel/Pixar themed clothing. We asked those students participating to bring $1.00 as a donation to A Moment of Magic Foundation.

Our Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and Special Education classes participated in a presentation from our local community first responders. Thank you to our Plains Police, Fire and EMS for teaching our students the importance of safety, protection and following laws. Additionally, thank you for taking our principal 65ft off the ground above the school in the bucket of the ladder truck to view our school's community! We truly respect everyone for their commitment to our community! Click on the title to see more Community Hero Day Pictures.
