Our community provides amazing support to our students as they explore their options!

WCCS Families,
This message is going out to all WCCS families for informational purposes. This morning, a gas line was discovered to be leaking just south of the CCHS / ISMS / LTES campus. The fire department has responded to help ensure safety and to monitor air quality in the area and in our schools.
As a precautionary measure, the county has closed East 200 South until NIPSCO is able to repair the gas line. The south entrance to the campus will remain open, but travel between the entrance and highway 9 will be closed until repairs are completed.
There are no concerns about student safety, and we will continue to work closely with local officials to monitor the situation. All school operations will continue as normal.
Thank you,
Seth Slater
WCCS Interim Superintendent

Students in the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program at CCHS are putting their skills into practice by hosting Teddy Bear Clinics for WCCS kindergarten students. Kindergarten students are able to take their teddy bears to the "doctor", checking their ears, eyes, teeth, getting an x-ray, a shot, and even having minor surgery! This is a great opportunity for the older students to connect with younger students, sharing the knowledge they have learned through their CTE pathway.
Thank you to IU Health for providing the teddy bears for this experience!
