COVID-19 DASHBOARD

White Lake School District COVID-19 Dashboard

UPDATE: October 8, 2020

In the spirit of open communication with our community and school, we will be launching a "COVID-19 Dashboard" similar to some other districts in our state. We will report total numbers of reported positive cases in our elementary school and our middle/high school. It will be further broken down to indicate number of individuals who are quarantined.

Our first release of this dashboard will be Friday, October 9th. We appreciate any feedback on the usefulness of this information. We want to make sure it is easy to understand.

UPDATE: October 7, 2020

UPDATE: October 2, 2020

Due to two positive COVID-19 cases in our co-op football program, the White Lake School District will temporarily suspend all activities of our middle school and high school football teams, effective immediately.

While no White Lake students have tested positive, they have had close contact with individuals who have confirmed cases. As such, all student-athletes involved in these programs will be quarantined for at least the next 14 days.

The students who are quarantining will learn remotely if they are able to do so.

We understand this news is disappointing. We have carefully considered all options and are working to protect the health and safety of our students, staff and families. We hope to be able to resume football for our student-athletes in the near future and will be in constant contact with Langlade County Public Health to help us make that decision.

We ask that everyone continue to be aware of the primary symptoms of COVID-19, which are shortness of breath, coughing, and fever or chills. Other symptoms include congestion, sore throat, diarrhea, abdominal pain, body aches and loss of taste or smell. If your student begins to experience symptoms, please keep them home, consult a healthcare provider and notify your school office.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging situation.

Reimbursement on Educational Expenses and Internet Assistance

The Foundation for Rural Housing is a nonprofit that helps to prevent homelessness. They have a program right now that is for reimbursement of supplement educational expenses. This program is designed to prevent, prepare, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualified applicants can receive reimbursement up to $300 for supplemental educational expenses. You must provide them with receipts of the expenses. To qualify for this program you must be at or below 150% of FPL. Typically, if your child qualifies for the free lunch program you will qualify for our program. Examples of qualified expenses are masks, hand sanitizer, internet charges, electronic devices, paper, printer ink, printer and school supplies/clothes if you indicate you have other out-of-pocket expenses that have made it more difficult to purchase school related items.

In addition, this organization has a program called HomeNet. If you need internet at home and cannot afford the services for your middle/high school students, please give them a call at (608) 238-3448 or email wrh@wisconsinruralhousing.org. You can find all of their assistance program information at https://www.wisconsinruralhousing.org/.
