Willits Unified Schools will not be in session tomorrow October 30. The school has planned in-services days for Thursday and Friday. So there will be no school for students on Thursday or Friday as well. The football game scheduled for Friday night will be played at its regular time if we have power, if not it will be played at 1 o’clock and 3:30 on Friday afternoon.

Due to power outages Willits unified school district will be closed on Tuesday the 29th. There is a pending Wind advisory for Tuesday night that may prolong the power shut down. I will keep you posted on our status as soon as I know definite information. Stay safe and alert to changing conditions.

Due to power outages there will be no school for Willits Unified on Monday the 28th. I will post again Monday afternoon to let everybody know our status for Tuesday.

This is a reminder for Monday morning. If you do not have power at home you can assume that the school does not have power either and we will be closed. I will keep you posted on the power situation at our school as time goes on.

All of the Willits schools have power and will be open today.

Good Evening. Please be advised that there is a chance of a power outage in the Willits area scheduled for tomorrow October 9th. If you have power at your residence tomorrow morning, assume that school will be in session during regular scheduled hours. If you do not have power at your residence tomorrow morning, assume school will be canceled. In the event of a power outage during the day, school will continue to be operational until the end of the school day. We will continue to update you as we receive further information. Mr. Westerburg

Please be advised in the event of a power shutdown school will not be in session. Willits is in the red flag zone but not in the shutoff area as of now.

Message from The Willits Kids Club: We want to assure you that we will be there for your kids today, we will be at Brookside school with the kids until 6 o’clock. Thank you for your patience.

We are sorry for the confusion but there will be NO transportation to Kids Club from Brookside this afternoon. We are working on getting this false information taken down. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

WUSD was informed this afternoon by the state that the bus drivers (all but 2) First Aid endorsement was given by a provider not recognized by the Red Cross. Although the training is virtually identical and has been approved in the past our drivers have been grounded until that is fixed. We are working on re-certification tomorrow morning. However, based on this information the buses will not be running tomorrow, with the exception of bus # which transports special needs students. School will be held at normal times and morning tardiness will be given a half hour grace period. I am very sorry about the inconvenience but CHP would not give any grace period to get the alternative certification.
We will be posting tomorrow afternoon the status of buses for Friday. The drivers and I are working hard to resolve this issue ASAP.

Bus 5 is running twenty to thirty minutes behind schedule this afternoon. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Bus 8 and 5 morning routes will be combined Wednesday, September 25th. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Good evening parents. Tomorrow September 23rd bus number 8 and 5 will be combined in the morning route.
Have a wonderful evening!

The BGMS 8th Grade Band will be combining with the WHS Band, starting this Friday to form a 41-member Pep Band for WHS Varsity Home Games. This will be the largest band that has played at these events in over 6 years! Our first performance is this Friday, September 20th, starting at around 7:30pm. Come out and support our town's growing Music Program, our Band, the WHS Football Teams, and our community! See you there!

If you are going to volunteer with WUSD this year you need to have your fingerprints done. The company Print Your Mitts, will be at Brookside Elementary Open House on Thursday at 6 PM until 8. WUSD has a form that the DOJ charges us $32 for us to have processed and Mitt Your Mitts will charge you $30 for their service. If your interested please have 2 checks available to use. We greatly appreciate our volunteers. We don't have any choice on the rules or cost. I would get there early, last year there was a line.

If you haven't already filled out the Education Benefit Form, please do so and return it to your child's school site.This helps WUSD continue to provide breakfast and lunch to each student at no cost to the student. Thank you for helping us to provide this service to our kiddos!

Reminder: All WUSD schools are on regular schedule today. Our first minimum day of the school year will be next Tuesday, August 27th.

Hello BGMS Parents,
This is Ms. Munguia, the Principal with your weekly announcements. All of our teachers are ready to welcome all of our students into classes tomorrow, Monday, August 19th. We will be giving out class schedules to all students tomorrow starting at 7:30 am. The WEB Leaders will be ready to show any new students, including our sixth graders how to get around campus, and to their classrooms. I am reminding you that this week, Tuesday is not a minimum day, and to go on line to our new website to view the district calendar for minimum days at www.willitsunified.com. We are starting our sports program with Volleyball sign ups this week. If any student is interested in playing volleyball on the BGMS team, they can sign up in the front office this week. Please refer to your handbook for sports eligibility. Something to look for this week is the technology use agreements that will be brought home by students. We will also have them posted on our website. If there are any concerns about student class schedules, ask Pam, in the front office, to put in your concern to Ms. Bravo, our counselor. I also want to make you aware that the Back to School Night has been scheduled much earlier this year, and takes place next week on Wednesday staring at 6:00 pm. Come and see what great classrooms, and programs we have planned for this year. Thank you for your attention and goodbye.
