School District of Wild Rose

Good Evening- A message from Wild Rose Schools. The evolving COVID-19 situation has brought us to reconsider our previous plan. There will no longer be school tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17. Staff should report to the Middle/High School Auditorium at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Our goal is to work toward continuing our educational programming starting Monday, March 23. Our schools will be open starting at 10:00 AM tomorrow for any students and/or families to come and pick up materials. This event has caused us to continually evaluate the situation and we feel that closing tomorrow is the right thing to do for our educational community. We appreciate everyone's cooperation, patience, and understanding as we navigate and process our immediate future.

Good Evening. The fitness center will be closed tomorrow morning through April 5. All memberships will be extended by 21 days.

Cough or sneeze into your shirtsleeve if a tissue is not available. Always wash your hands after coughing or sneezing. Wash hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaner, especially after coughing, sneezing, and blowing one’s nose. Avoid touching the nose, mouth, and eyes, to reduce the spread of germs. DO NOT share eating utensils, water bottles, beverage containers or other personal items. Contact with these items can expose people to viruses that exist on their surfaces. Avoid close contact (6 feet or less) with sick people.
