The first day of classes for the 2021-2022 school year will be on Wednesday, September 1st. In an effort to make the transition from middle school to high school smooth and successful for incoming freshmen and transfers, East High School will be following a special schedule on that day, outlined below.

 

• Incoming 9th graders: Students will drop off all items in their lockers and report to the large gym by 8:00 a.m. From there, students will be involved in numerous orientation activities. Students should dress comfortably for these activities as they will be asked to move around. Lunch is scheduled for 11:35 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Students may bring their own lunch or purchase the school lunch.
  
  
• New (transfer) 10th, 11th, 12th graders: Students report to East at 10:45 a.m. Lunch is scheduled for 11:35 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Students may bring their own lunch or purchase the school lunch. 
  
  
• Returning 10th, 11th, 12th graders: Students report to East at 11:45 a.m. Returning students should eat lunch before coming to school as there will be no lunch period. 
  
  
• ALL Students: All Wauwatosa East students will follow a shortened schedule with all classes meeting in the afternoon, with dismissal at 2:10 p.m.

On August 9th, 2021, the Wauwatosa School Board unanimously approved the District’s Re-entry Plan for the 2021-22 school year. The Re-Entry Plan contains a leveled approach to in-person instruction and COVID-19 mitigation based on the current COVID-19 infection rate in our community and in our schools. Please see the full Re-Entry Plan for details about each level.

 

Based on the School Board’s approval of the Re-Entry Plan, effective immediately, masks or other face coverings are required for all individuals inside district buildings. 

 

Please visit the 2021-22 school year landing page on the District's website for relevant information including the Re-Entry Presentation, Re-Entry Plan, metric dashboard (updated daily), COVID-19 related communications, a form to submit questions, a Frequently Asked Questions document (updated weekly) and more.

 

 

Adults can show proof of vaccination the following ways:

• Show their vaccination card, OR
• Bring their immunization history, obtained from their Medical Provider or from the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR).

 

 

Q: I'm having issues with my Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Who should I contact?

A: Support requests for parent/guardian Infinite Campus accounts, such as password resets, etc, can be directed to portalsupport@wauwatosa.k12.wi.us

 

Q: When will my student's schedule and locker assignment be available?

A: Students' schedules and locker assignments will be available in Infinite Campus starting August 11th. Counselors will be available in person on August 11th from 12:00-6:00pm and August 12th from 9:00am-3:00pm for any scheduling needs. 

 

 

A: Submitting your student's COVID-19 vaccination record is voluntary, but may be used to determine quarantine length if they should experience a close contact or exposure. 

 

For example, if your student had been recently exposed but is fully vaccinated, they would not need to quarantine, provided they are not experiencing symptoms; however, we would need to have proof of vaccination on file in order to permit them not to quarantine and continue to attend school in-person.

 

 

Q: My student is an incoming freshman who attended summer school and still has their Chromebook from middle school. What should we do with their middle school Chromebook?

A: Please bring the middle school Chromebook to the in-person Chromebook distribution on August 11th and 12th and exchange it for one from the high school. If you aren't able to attend, please exchange in the library during the first week of school.

 

Q: Does my student need textbooks?

A: Most courses at Tosa East use online resources/e-textbooks. Teachers will give students that information when school starts. Any course that does require students to use a hard copy of a textbook, students will be able to pick them up in the library during the first few weeks of school. Any additional questions regarding books can be directed to Ms. Oliver at oliversa@wauwatosa.k12.wi.us.

 

Q: I have a question about library resources or my Parent Observer account on Canvas. Who should I contact?

A: Support requests for Canvas Parent Observer accounts, or questions regarding library resources, can be directed to Ms. Oliver at oliversa@wauwatosa.k12.wi.us.

 

Q: How do I request a school fee waiver/reduction?

A: To request a school fee waiver/reduction, families will need to:

1. Have an approved 2021-2022 free and reduced meal application on file; and
2. Complete the Sharing Information With Other Programs Google Form.

 

Even though lunches are free to all students again this year, parents/guardians will still need to file a lunch application for the fee waiver process. As of 8/5/21, the Google Form for the Sharing Information is not active yet. Once the food service office has the meal application posted on their Food Service website, the Sharing form will become available.
