Please see the attached, new pedestrian detour map from the Town of Windsor as construction of the roundabout at the intersection of Windsor Road and Windsor River Road moves into its next phase. In this next stage of construction, all roads will be open with just some narrow lane widths. Stage 1 of the roundabout construction project’s 6-stage plan will be completed by March 18 and workers will reopen Windsor Road to northbound and southbound traffic. All lanes will be open. Please note, however, that Stage 2 work, which will begin on Monday, March 21, will involve some traffic control measures such as reduced lane widths. We also removed the old signal system and replaced it with a four-way flashing red light. Please note that the intersection of Windsor Road and Windsor River Road will be a 4-way stop for the remaining construction stages. Stage 2 work will include the demolition, removal, and installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and paving along the southwest corner of the intersection. There will be designated detours to route pedestrians out of the work zone, including temporary asphalt paths and a temporary crossing of Windsor Road with pedestrian-activated flashing beacons. In addition, the public parking lot on the corner of Windsor River Road and Windsor Road will be closed to the public except on Saturdays so community members can access the food pantry. Any questions should be directed to the town, as this is not a District project.

Dear WUSD families: In response to multiple inquiries, we would like to re-iterate the Spring Break holiday schedule for the end of March. Students will have Spring Break from March 21-25. They will also have part of the next week off, due to unused Emergency Days. However, students are expected back in school on Friday, April 1, as one of those emergency days has been utilized in this school year. Please plan any activities accordingly, and we will see you on April 1. Thanks and best regards, Windsor Unified School District Estimadas familias de WUSD: En respuesta a múltiples consultas, nos gustaría reiterar el calendario de vacaciones de vacaciones de primavera para finales de marzo. Los estudiantes tendrán vacaciones de primavera del 21 al 25 de marzo. También tendrán libre parte de la próxima semana, debido a los Días de Emergencia no utilizados. Sin embargo, se espera que los estudiantes regresen a la escuela el viernes 1 de abril, ya que se ha utilizado uno de esos días de emergencia en este año escolar. Planifique cualquier actividad en consecuencia y nos vemos el 1 de abril. Gracias y un saludo, Distrito Escolar Unificado de Windsor

Hello Windsor Staff and Families, The state-wide Antigen test shortage will prevent us from offering Antigen (rapid tests) at our testing site on Monday January 24th and perhaps Tuesday Jan 24th. We should receive a shipment on Tuesday but firm timelines have not been established. Until we receive the shipment of tests, we will only be offering PCR tests at our clinic. Staff and students who need a rapid test because they are returning from isolation or quarantine or who those who are symptomatic, may check in with their sites for an Antigen tests. Each site has a limited number of Antigen tests we can use to help get our staff and students back to school. We will not be able to test any asymptomatic staff or student, even recent exposures. We hope this supply concern is over soon so we will be able to provide antigen tests to our entire community. We appreciate your understanding and patience. Hola personal y familias de Windsor, La escasez de pruebas de antígeno en todo el estado nos impedirá ofrecer antígeno (pruebas rápidas) en nuestro sitio de prueba el lunes 24 de enero y quizás el martes 24 de enero. Deberíamos recibir un envío el martes, pero no se han establecido plazos firmes. Hasta que recibamos el envío de pruebas, solo estaremos ofreciendo pruebas PCR en nuestra clínica. El personal y los estudiantes que necesitan una prueba rápida porque regresan del aislamiento o la cuarentena o que tienen síntomas, pueden registrarse en sus sitios para una prueba de antígeno. Cada sitio tiene una cantidad limitada de pruebas de antígeno que podemos usar para ayudar a que nuestro personal y estudiantes regresen a la escuela. No podremos evaluar a ningún miembro del personal o estudiante asintomático, incluso las exposiciones recientes. Esperamos que esta preocupación por el suministro termine pronto para que podamos proporcionar pruebas de antígenos a toda nuestra comunidad. Apreciamos tu comprensión y paciencia. -- Peter Sullivan Windsor Unified School District Director of Covid Mitigation 707-837-7767 ext. 2211 psullivan@wusd.org
