April is Autism Acceptance Month, and we'd like to share information on WAIT (Westfall Autism Identification Team). Our team aims to help your child with a range of identification services. Together, we can accomplish amazing things for individuals living with autism.
Westfall Education Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2024 Teacher Appreciation Grant at https://forms.gle/LJScsBn5znSpriEM9.

With many district roads flooded due to the recent storms, Westfall Local Schools will be operating on a 2-hour delay on Wednesday, April 3. As a result, there will be no AM preschool. We will continue to monitor the road conditions and keep you informed if there are any further schedule changes.
UPDATE: Our phone lines have been restored district-wide. Thank you for your patience during this outage.
Miss Haberthier's preschool classes had a hopping good time with Assistant Principal Ms. Wolfe and SRO Deputy Hamlin yesterday! The two stopped in to visit with the AM and PM Preschool classes and help them create cute bunny art just in time for the upcoming holiday!

Reminder: With the rare total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, casting parts of Ohio into temporary darkness, Westfall Local School District is proactively adjusting its academic calendar for the safety of its students and staff.
As the eclipse coincides with many schools' dismissal times, we understand the potential traffic concerns. Following guidance and consultation with local law enforcement agencies, Westfall Local Schools has decided to cancel school for students and staff on Monday, April 8, 2024, to ensure everyone's safety during this unique celestial event.
We understand this schedule change may impact families' plans for the day. However, our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff.

All three classroom wings met their Right to Read Week reading goals last week! As a reward for their hard work, they enjoyed a visit from Inspiration Station, the new hands-on museum coming soon to Circleville. Student volunteers were challenged to build a foam dinosaur skeleton without instructions and test their handwashing skills under the black light! Thank you, Pickaway County Community Foundation (PCCF), for visiting with our students today and gifting them with a foam puzzle of their own!
