Western Local School District

Good morning. As expected, we're going to have to cancel for today. The forecast shows 2 to 4 inches of snow throughout the day starting around 10 o'clock with heavy snow at times.

All of the bus routes will be the same tomorrow as today, except for the following changes David is the same except for he will be at Nipgen store at 8:55 and Davis Road at 9 Tara will be running everything but New Fain

Good evening. I'm sure this comes as a shock but they are forecasting snow for tomorrow. We are currently under a winter weather advisory starting at seven in the morning so we are going to start out on a two hour delay. Hopefully this will miss but at least doing the call tonight will let everybody get a chance to make plans for the morning. We are close to that 3 to 5 line but we certainly hope we don't get anything, especially that.

Jr High, High School girls and boys basketball games on Thursday and Friday have been canceled. For the safety of the students, we do not feel comfortable putting kids on buses with wind chill and after dark. Jr High will not be making up South Gallia. Working on make up dates for high school games.

I'm sure it's not a surprise that we're going to go ahead and cancel for Thursday and Friday. That way parents can go ahead and make arrangements instead of waiting on the inevitable call tomorrow evening and then trying to figure it out. Also remember that the community building is open if anybody needs to come and get warmed up. Please let me know if you need anything. You're welcome to text or call me at 740-222-8311. Thanks.

Again, if anybody needs anything, please feel free to text me or give me a call at 740-222-8311. We can't work miracles, but we will sure try to help in anyway we can. Thanks.

I put this message out on Facebook but I wanted to send via text also. If anyone is in need of a place to get warm we've opened the Community Center to be used as a warming center. It has heat and restrooms, etc. It's going to get colder as the week goes on. If anyone is in need of anything please let us know. I've had dozens of community members reach out to me offering help to anyone who may need it. The Community Center is unlocked and warm. If anyone needs to use please feel free to do so. My number is 740 222 8311. Let me know if you're coming and I'll make sure to have some coffee made. If you need anything or if your kids need anything please let us know.

I know some of you are going to think I'm crazy, especially if you live on a main highway or on a flat road, but we're going to cancel. I've been out driving for the past hour, and although most of the roads are pretty good, there are lots of places that have black ice. Basically, any place that does not have salt or grit is ice. We will be closed for Thursday, January 22.
