I will apologize for all of the messages this evening but I want to clear up some issues that were brought up in my last post. Westville Public Schools is in desperate need for subs, bus drivers, cafeteria and janitors and that's only part of the story. Our last PD day was on Presidents Day and so we are going to take the morning of both days to meet with staff about the changes and updates to our safety procedures. We are going to train on the RAVE app which would've been helpful in the last incident. We are going to talk about shelter in place and those procedures. Teachers and staff will be at work those days and have to take leave to attend the ball games. We will have many students and staff attending and it would be very hard to cover all classes. We did this two years ago but did not have to take Distance Learning days last year because we played in the night session. So we are taking advantage of the time without students to make our school safer and better. We do know it's a hardship on elementary families and I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. These decisions are not made without thought and discussion. So if you want to help or know of someone for any of those jobs I mentioned above, we are taking applications. Once again I'm sorry for all of the messages but I wanted to provide the entire story not just part of it. Thank you,
Terry Heustis

Due to the late notice of a district virtual learning day, teachers will be understanding and give extra time to any student that did not have a device or internet access for any work that was assigned this Friday.
Westville Public Schools will have a distance learning day for all students tomorrow February 24th so we can debrief staff on the incident that occurred today.
The FOCUS day for 9th and 10th grade and Elementary spelling bee will be rescheduled to a later day.
