Parent's please check your child's back pack because we have been giving them perishable items to take home to eat. We are trying to add to variety to our take home items. Next week we will only be sending home food on Thursday evening for Friday meals. Virtual students can still pick up meals Monday - Thursday outside the JH office.
To schedule Elementary Parent Teacher Conferences for October 8th and 9th please call the Elementary Office. We will not be taking drop-ins and masks are required.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 8 from 4:00-8:00, and Friday, October 9 from 9:00-11:00. Conferences will be done by appointment ONLY. To make an appointment, the parent must email the teacher. Don't forget-masks are required on school campus.
Westville Public Schools will begin Monday, September 21st Kindergarten and 1st grade attending all 4 days next week. The following Monday, September 28th all grades 2-12 will begin attending Monday - Thursday. We will still have virtual Fridays until further notice. Please stay diligent in the battle against Covid 19. Wash hands, wear masks and social distance.
Parents, we have been made aware of a program for students. You may receive or already received a P-EBT card in your students name. This is from the state and it has $250 for the student and family to spend on food. It will arrive in the mail in your students name.
We have hotspots available for any student who does not have internet. The parent/guardian may come to the central office to sign an agreement form and pick up the hotspot. The hotspot will need to be returned at the end of the school year.
Fourth grade students are returning this week. We will be on Purple and Gold week. After our survey last week was 50% stay the same and 50% come back to school. We are still working toward a safe return of all students. We will continue to work for what is best for everyone involved. Thank you for your understanding.

Buses will come up Lake street from the north and turn around between the auditorium and awning on west side of HS. Please be aware of the traffic and we are sorry for the inconvenience but we have a nice newly paved road.
Westville schools announced earlier today that 4th grade will be doing distance learning for the rest of this week and next week. Not all fourth grade received the message earlier.

At this time it will only affect the fourth grade group.

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!
