Alert - Squid Game

Families:  We have noticed many of our students talking about and acting out scenes from Squid Game, a violent dystopian Netflix show with an intended audience of older teens and adults.

If you notice your kids are suddenly playing Red Light Green Light lately, it is very likely related to Squid Game.

Walla Walla School District uses the site Common Sense Media in decision-making for curriculum resources.  I felt it was important to share Common Sense Media’s review of Squid Game so families could be aware of the inappropriateness of the show for elementary-age children.

Please reach out if you have questions, and thank you for your partnership as we all raise Walla Walla’s future leaders.

Familias: Hemos notado que muchos de nuestros estudiantes hablan y actúan escenas de Squid Game, un programa violento y distópico de Netflix con una audiencia prevista de adolescentes mayores y adultos.

Si nota que sus hijos de repente están jugando a Red Light Green Light últimamente, es muy probable que esté relacionado con Squid Game.

El Distrito Escolar de Walla Walla utiliza el sitio Common Sense Media en la toma de decisiones para los recursos del plan de estudios. Sentí que era importante compartir la revisión de Squid Game de Common Sense Media para que las familias pudieran estar al tanto de lo inapropiado del programa para los niños de primaria.

Press Release 2021-2022 For Immediate Release

District releases quarantine learning contingency plans

WALLA WALLA – Walla Walla Public Schools has developed contingency plans for continued learning should  individual students, classrooms or entire schools be required to quarantine if COVID outbreaks occur in schools. Note, fully vaccinated students do not have to quarantine unless they exhibit symptoms. Below are  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) addressing continued learning plans under different quarantine scenarios.  

FAQ – WWPS QUARANTINE LEARNING PLAN  

Q: When would my child need to quarantine?

A: Per WaDOH, if they are less than 3ft from an individual with COVID-19 for at least 15 cumulative minutes over  a 24 hour period.

Q: How will I be notified?

A: Families will be notified personally if their child needs to quarantine and be provided instructions on monitoring,  returning to school, and testing options that may expedite their return.

Q: How long will my child need to quarantine?

A: If your child is fully vaccinated, or recently recovered from COVID in the last 3 months, they do not need to  quarantine unless they exhibit symptoms. All other students are recommended to quarantine for 14 days per  WaDOH guidelines. Students may be permitted to return a few days earlier, if symptom free, and they test  negative under the district’s testing protocols.

Q: How will my child's educational needs be met during quarantine?

A: Unless an entire classroom or school is required to quarantine, educational activities will be handled in a  traditional out-of-school absence manner. This consists of daily work prepared by your child's classroom  teacher(s) that is picked up at school, delivered to the home, or provided to the student electronically (e.g. via  email or Google Classroom assignments).

Q: Under what circumstances will an entire classroom need to quarantine?

A: Per WaDOH, when multiple laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases among students occur in a classroom  within a 14-day period, where transmission can be linked to in-classroom spread, entire classrooms may need  to quarantine. This is more likely to occur at the elementary level since vaccines are not available to students  under 12. Classroom quarantine at the secondary level would only impact non-vaccinated students.

Q: What would learning look like for a quarantined classroom?

A: At the secondary level, whole class quarantine of all students would be rare due to the vaccination status of  many middle and high school students. Under most classroom quarantine circumstances, non-vaccinated  students would be sent home and receive individual educational activities provided by their teacher(s). Under an  extremely rare condition, where all students in a class (vaccinated or not) are required to quarantine, the learning  will consist of “zooming” to receive live instruction during their regularly scheduled in-person class time with their  specific teacher. Under both scenarios, students will receive individual work from their remaining non-quarantined teachers/classes. At the preschool/elementary levels, teachers will “zoom” with students live from

8 to 9:30 a.m. to deliver age-appropriate instruction/experiences. In addition, teachers will also provide age appropriate independent learning activities students/families can accomplish independently. Teachers will  remain available throughout the day for student/family questions/support. Students receiving special education,  language services, or other supports will be contacted to coordinate appropriate service delivery during their 14 day or less quarantine period.

Q: Under what circumstances would an entire school need to quarantine?

A: After consultation with local health officials, if there are multiple quarantined classrooms or uncontrolled viral  spread at your child’s school, it may necessitate the entire school to quarantine for up to 14 days to ensure safety  and curb transmission.

Q: What would learning look like for a quarantined school?

A:  

• At the secondary level: Day 1-Family communication and technology pickup for specific families (WiFi  hotspots, student Chromebooks left at school). Day 2-Learning plan commences where students will “Zoom” with their teacher and classmates per their current in-person bell schedule.

• At the elementary level: Day 1-Family communication and technology pick up at school for specific  students/families. Day 2-Learning plan commences at 8am with live virtual learning as noted above.  Additionally, other specialists provide learning/engagement options for students/families (e.g. school  wide physical education activities, school wide music experiences, etc).
