Westville Public Schools is committed to keeping our students and community safe. We want to remind you that beginning November 1, 2025, a new Oklahoma law—House Bill 2263—will make it illegal to use or hold a handheld cellphone or electronic device while driving in an active school zone (or a road construction zone).
🚫 What This Means:
Drivers must be completely hands-free when passing through school zones, including drop-off and pickup areas. The goal of this law is to prevent distracted driving and protect children and pedestrians.
✅ Our Request to You:
Please begin practicing hands-free habits now. Make calls or send texts before entering school zones so your full attention stays on the road and our students’ safety.
Your cooperation helps keep Westville school zones safe for everyone. 💜
Thank you for doing your part to protect our kids and community!

A message from our Social Work Director, Jenna Sitsler.
"As most of you know, the SNAP Food Benefits for families will end on November 1st until a resolution can take place with the government shutdown. This impacts a large majority of our Yellowjacket family.
Our Family Support Page: https://www.westville.k12.ok.us/page/family-support-center will have information on local resources providing food to families during this time.
Going along with our school motto, "Do Right" we want to try to help in every way we can during this time.
If your local organization/church is providing an outlet for food resources during this time, please let us know so we can have up-to-date information on our website.
We are all in this together. Your school family support specialists are here to help!"
