The Wawasee Operations Team keeps things running smoothly, so learning can take center stage. Our team handles Food Services, Facilities, and Technology - the essential pieces that make schools work.

Our approach is straightforward - maintain high standards within our budget, solve issues before they become disruptions, and support the school's mission through dedicated team members. Every repair, every meal served, and every tech solution installed serves one goal. Creating an environment where excellent education can flourish.

When operations work well, they're invisible.

Wawasee Community School Corporation Technology Operations provides these links so parents and community members can quickly check the operational status of our essential digital learning platforms.

Why We Provide These Links - When students can't log into Clever, parents can't access grades in Skyward, or Google Classroom isn't working, these status pages help you determine if the issue is a district-wide service outage or something specific to your device. This transparency keeps our Wawasee community informed and reduces confusion during technology disruptions.
