Message from our Superintendent re returning to school after travel:
If you travel over spring break, please be aware of the current guidelines for NON-Vaccinated individuals.
Voluntary travel outside of the area (usually 120 miles or more) should be done cautiously, wear face masks, maintain social distance and wash your hands . If you are going somewhere and participating in higher risk areas like parks, hotels, etc., the current CDC guideline is to quarantine for a minimum of 7 days after traveling. It is further recommended to take a COVID test 3-5 days after you return, if negative you may return to work/school 7 days after travel. If you do not test you must stay out for 10 days and continue to monitor for COVID symptoms for 14 days.

Good Morning Brookside Families. We are happy to announce that electricity has been restored to Brookside. Please contact your child's teacher if you would like more information. Thank you.
Hi Brookside Families... we have electricity at Brookside! Thank you, PG&E!
We are planning to resume our schedule as it was before the storms. If your child comes to school tomorrow, it would be wise to verify with your teacher, via Dojo or email, that your teacher and/or para-educator will be there. Some people are still greatly affected by the storm.
Thanks for your patience through this. We appreciate you very much and hope that you are doing well.
The Willits teachers will open up today on their online classes if they’re able to and we would like students to connect if they can. We understand that there are still some power issues around town but if you have access please login.
Good evening Brookside families. Due to a power outage at Brookside School, there will be only distance learning for Brookside students. There will be no students at Brookside School on Thursday 1/27. Thank you.
Because of bad driving conditions and multiple power outages throughout the district, Willitst unified schools will be closed today.
Weather Update! Based on the expected conditions, WUSD will not have any on-site instruction on Wednesday the 27th. However, unless there is a power outage at home online instruction will continue on Wednesday as normal.
Good evening Brookside Families, Picture make-up day is tomorrow, Jan. 21st. This is a drive thru event just like last time. The times are 9-3pm.
Brookside Families,
As you know, Brookside staff and teachers are not seeing students at school this week. We will be continuing that through next week, as well. We plan to resume our individual in-person instruction, beginning Tuesday, January 19th. Until the 19th, we will not be working in person with students or having in-person meetings with parents and guardians. We will still be meeting with students and families on Zoom. Our teachers of students in special education classes will let families know individually how they plan to meet with students. If you have questions about the schedule next week, please send your child’s teacher an email or a message on Class Dojo, or call your teacher at 459-5385. Thank you very much for your understanding and patience.
Most sincerely,
Kathy Crossman,
Principal
