Westville School community I want to thank you for your patience and understanding during this very uncertain time. We are working on making plans for the next phase of our start up. We felt like the Purple - Gold schedule is a good way to open safely. We are surveying our staff today and will send out a survey for parents tomorrow. Our teachers and staff have been working very hard to make this startup as simple as possible. There have been set backs and unexpected delays and we want to apologize for those inconviences and misunderstandings. I would encourage you to reach out if you are having a problem or reach out if things are going well. A positvie message means alot in this trying time. But the main thing is to communicate with your students teacher and Principal and we can make things go better for you and your student. Reminder that we will not be in school on Monday, September 7 and Tuesday, September 8. More information will be sent out as soon as decisions are made. Thank you for your consideration. Jacket Pride!
Distance Learning and Virtual meals will be served west of the Junior High Office due to the rain today.
Community, as emotions run high and the reality of dealing with this pandemic, please be respectful and compassionate to our fellow Yellowjackets. We came up with a plan to re-enter school in a graduated way to keep the risk level down for everyone involved. Our goal and plan is to work toward all students back to school 4 days per week and then safely transition to 5 days per week. That has always been the plan. We’ve just finished our first full week school. We will be meeting next week to discuss the timeline for pushing out our plans for the following weeks. We’ve had a few delays and issues arise and we’ve tried to adapt and overcome these issues. It’s a long time until our scheduled last day of May 19. Please be patient and kind and know that we are working very hard to educate your children. We don’t want to go backwards and have to shut down to all distance learning. We want our kids in school just as much as you do, but it must be safe for everyone. We will get there very soon. Today was the first time our county has been at the Orange level 1 since June. Thank you understanding during this very difficult time.
Westville Schools will return to Purple-Gold schedule next week starting on Monday. Monday is Purple day, Tuesday- Gold, Wednesday -Purple, Thursday-Gold and Friday Distance Learning.
Westville Varsity Football has been moved to Keys at 6pm on Friday. It will be a scrimmage. Fans are allowed to attend. Thanks for your patience in the ever changing world of Covid 19.
Westville Public Schools made the decision yesterday after students were exposed to a confirmed positive case of Covid-19. In coordination with the Adair County Department of Health the decision was made to move to Distance Learning on the gold day because of the affected student(s). The district has suspended Cheer, Softball and Volleyball at this time. We will remain vigilant in our endeavor to keep our students safe and update the school community as these situations change daily. Our hope is to get every student to school everyday as soon as possibly safe. Thank you for your patience.
