School Lunch 

Later this month, the state is expected to approve the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) English/Spanish for WTS for the 2024-2025 school year. CEP means that all students in grades K-8 are eligible to receive healthy breakfasts and lunches daily at no charge to families. K-8 students who wish to purchase extra and a la carte items must pay for these items separately. This can be done by setting up a MyPaymentsPlus account. See more information about  MyPaymentsPlus below.

Transportation

Your bus assignment information will be available on Skyward shortly before the first day of school. For all Transportation information, please visit the Transportation website: https://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/transportation/ .

Our district uses Infofinder, an online transportation information system, to allow students and families to find bus stop locations, bus numbers, and approximate pick-up and drop-off times. Families may look up bus information directly in Infofinder. This should help eliminate complexity and confusion, particularly at the beginning of the school year.

If after reviewing your individual information and you find that you need clarification, please contact the Transportation Department: (317) 254-5510.

Skyward

Skyward Family Access allows you to access student grades, attendance, email teachers and school officials, pay fees and much more.

For the safety of your students we want to be sure we have the most up to date and accurate information.  Please take a moment to log into Skyward Family Access – https://skyward.msdwt.k12.in.us – and complete the Data Clean-Up process. Parents will have the option to save and come back at a later time to complete the process.

If you need additional guidance with this process, step by step directions can be found at http://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/cleanup. Log in credentials were sent via US mail to families in a Back to School packet.

Classroom Visitors/Volunteers

Willow Lake welcomes parents to visit the classroom.  Classroom and teacher visits will be by appointment only.  Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you would like to set-up a time to meet or visit the classroom. Visits should be limited to 30 minutes or less.

All classroom visitors/volunteers must have completed a Limited Background Check.  This form must be filled out and given to the front office so that it can be sent for approval.  Please allow at least 7-10 days for this process to be completed.

Limited Volunteer Limited Background checks are free of charge to anyone interested in volunteering.  Volunteer opportunities vary by teacher.

Visitors for lunch will no longer be permitted to ensure the safety of all.
