Good afternoon, this is Jason Ward, Principal of Williamstown Middle/High School. Today we received word that anyone 16 and up who signed up to be vaccinated will be able to get the vaccination this Wednesday, April 07, in our high school gym lobby from 2-4. Attached you will find the consent form and information regarding the vaccination. It is extremely important to return the forms to the school nurse as soon as possible. This will ensure we have the proper amount of doses available. If you are not able to print the consent form from the school page, we also have paper copies available in the main office. Thank you, and have a wonderful evening. Student-Parent Prizer Vaccine Notification https://5il.co/r8ei Covid-19 Vaccine Consent Form - Pfizer-Student https://5il.co/r8eh

From WVUP: WVUP will be hosting a series of Division Showcases in March to share more about our programs. Similar to the experience that a student would get with an on-campus group visit, our division chairs and faculty/students/staff will have a semi-structured panel style discussion about their programs, potential careers with their degrees and answer questions from the audience. These panels will be shared live on Facebook and Youtube and recorded and added to our website for any students who may have other evening engagements. If you could please help us spread the word to your students, by adding us to your announcements and including the attached graphic to your online learning platforms that would be amazing!
