In compliance with American Rescue Plan: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER)
This plan was developed in coordination between district certified and non-certified staff, administrators, students, parents, and community agencies.
As we plan for the return to In-person instruction we must recognize the Covid-19 virus is still a threat to the safety and welfare of our staff and students. The Bright Local School District must be vigilant in our approach to ensure the safety of all our stakeholders as a result the following principles will guide our district as we move forward with the opening of schools.
The Bright Local School District will implement recommended safety protocols to the highest degree possible.
The Bright Local School District will work closely with the Highland County Health Department to promote health and safety in all school buildings
The Bright Local School District will be transparent with all stakeholders that some level of risk will always be present when children and school district employees occupy school facilities.
Whiteoak High School’s “Students Against Destructive Decisions” (SADD) group is a nationally registered chapter. Our chapter currently has 21 members. SADD is dedicated to the safety and wellness of students. SADD was founded on the simple philosophy that young people, empowered to help each other, are the most effective force in prevention. Some of our SADD members set up a table at our recent Health Fair with information on vaping. They will be doing an activity this month to support October’s ADHD Awareness and also have a “QUICK - CLICK” Challenge coming up in November for their peers to participate in to promote seat belt safety. Stay tuned for many other SADD events coming to Whiteoak High School!
Our SADD chapter recently elected officers and would like to congratulate the following students:
President: Bryce Van Hoy
Vice President: Ian Griffith
Secretary: Lydia Carr
Treasurer: Molly McMullen
The Whiteoak Lady Wildcats Volleyball team hosted the Peebles Lady Indians on Thursday, October 7, during Yeager Strong Night, a benefit for the Yeager Family. Rusty Yeager has been hospitalized and battling Covid19 for over six weeks. He will be hospitalized for some time in order to recover and gain his strength back. The evening consisted of a spaghetti dinner, sponsored by the Mowrystown FFA, a bake sale, silent auction, live auction, split the pot, and a balloon raffle during the volleyball games. A huge thank you to the Peebles Indians for their generosity and kindness throughout the evening. Thank you to our Whiteoak Wildcat community. We are so blessed to live in a small community that cares so deeply for others and is always willing to help. #YeagerStrong
