West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District Home

Dear Mustangs, Enlight of the press conference today by Governor Abbott mandating school closures through May 1, WOCCISD will be again extending our Flexible Education Program. We now anticipate our start date to be May 5. Thank you for your continued patience as we work together as a community to keep everyone safe. I appreciate your efforts at home in helping provide our students with continuity of education during this closure period. Please contact your teacher by email if you need support in educating your children, after all, that is why we are here. WOCCISD will continue to send timely communications as information becomes available. We will continue to deliver Grab and Go breakfast and lunch between the hours of 8:30-12:30 at North Early Learning Center and West Orange-Stark High School. Stay safe and Go Mustangs! Sincerely, Rickie Harris, Ed.D.

Child Nutrition Services will not be providing meals on Friday, April 10. You will receive your breakfast and lunch for Friday on Thursday, along with your Thursday meals. Meals are available at grab and go locations at North Early Learning Center and West Orange-Stark High School from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. We will also be handing out Easter Eggs courtesy of the City of Orange. Children must be present for each meal needed; you cannot receive a meal for a child that is not present. Normal serving hours will resume Monday, April 13.

During these uncertain times, we want to make sure we are providing everything our parents and students need to continue to be successful. Please fill out the survey below to help us to improve and assess our resources.

If your child is currently enrolled for the 2019-2020 school year, your child's slot for the 2020-2021 school year is already saved but in order to be a part of the program you will still have to go through an intake with a family service advocate. If you are a NEW student and have never attended as a three or four year old student please click the following link and fill out the application form. Enrollment is based on eligibility. Thank you!

WOCCISD will be extending the Flexible Education Plan until Friday, April 10, at which time we will follow our regular school schedule and return to campuses Tuesday, April 14, 2020. The significant changes to the order will be no gatherings outside of the home and only one person from the family shopping, if at all possible. I will notify you if anything changes. Additionally, under the new order of the Judge, the services that we currently have put in place for the students will remain.

"Lamar State College-Orange resumed all courses online today, Monday 3/30/20! Face to face classes will continue online until otherwise noted. West Orange-Stark High School is currently working with Lamar State College-Orange to ensure students are allowed every opportunity to continue their dual credit courses during this trying time. Students enrolled in LSCO dual credit courses should diligently check their Blackboard and LSCO email accounts for the most up-to-date information from their professors. Please continue to be patient and check LSCO and WOCCISD websites for more information.
