If you sometimes wonder why we cancel school this is the reason. These are the roads we cannot safely run anytime they are snow-covered and they are nearly impossible to get clean. The townships have spent lots of time and money scraping and putting down gravel but they are still not safe enough to travel. This list should say a lot about what we go through to have school.
Good luck Western varsity girls basketball tonight in your sectional tournament game vs Waterford. Game time is 7 PM at Waterford. We will have streaming information available as soon as we get it. 🏀
Due to the high school games tomorrow, 4th-6th basketball has been cancelled for Saturday, Feb 20th.
We will add another day to the camp. Thank you.
Just a reminder if anyone wants to come in and pick up hot meals today between 11 and 12 you need to let us know by 9 o’clock so we know how much to prepare. Call 740-493-3113 or message me through our district Facebook page.
Sorry if my rambling confused anyone!! We are going to have to cancel tomorrow
After spending all evening driving around and trying to see which roads were safe and which ones weren’t I was on the fence until I came down Lapperell. The snow we had this afternoon was enough to put a slick glaze on Lapperell and Fairview. That little bit of snow added to the slush that has refrozen makes it I no go for a busload of kids. We never had a chance to run dry bone anyway. Bell hollow is pretty good for the most part. Lots of roads in the district aren’t bad but the bus turnarounds that our buses have to use on the county roads are not good. We could not run many township roads. Your road may be perfectly fine to drive a bus on but some of the main roads we have to use to get a large percentage of our kids to school are not safe for buses to travel on right now.
I’ve checked almost every road in the district. A lot of the roads aren’t bad. Several are not safe to run a bus on. We could’ve skipped the the township roads if the county roads would have been clear but three of the main roads we use aren’t safe enough for a bus. Additionally, our parking lot is still a skating rink after two full days of salting and scraping. Wayne worked on it for almost 10 hours today and wasn’t able to get the bus unloading area clear.
No school tomorrow for Western due to poor road conditions.
Good afternoon! This is a reminder that all Western Juniors need to report to the high school Tuesday February 23, 2021 at 7:45 am for the state required ACT test. This includes of our juniors attending the high school, the CTC, and participating in blended learning.
A reminder email about the ACT date was sent to each Junior. They also received an email with test prep resources, a practice test, and what to expect the day of testing. Please make sure your son or daughter checks their email. Thank you! -D. Long

I know this is a shocker but we are going to have to cancel tomorrow. Still under winter storm warning. Enjoy a snow day.
All ballgames are canceled for tonight due to poor road conditions.
Due to level 2 Snow emergency level that we are currently under I am not able to have staff members come in for the parent teacher conference. We will have an evening conference as soon as we can get one scheduled. It has not been canceled it has just been postponed. We plan to have it as soon as we possibly can fit it in an evening. Students are still off tomorrow and Monday is a holiday. These are not blended learning days. Enjoy the long weekend.
No school tomorrow for Western students. It will be a snow day not a blended learning day. As of now parent teacher conference is are still on from 1 to 8 tomorrow evening
Attention seniors! Last chance for any senior that didn’t have their picture taken or needs a retake for the yearbook Monday the 15th of February from 12-3. The studio address is 800 W 2nd street. The studio number is 740-941-3686
The varsity girls game for tonight is canceled due to poor road conditions.
County trucks are loaded and headed out. Roads should be treated by the time we leave.
Due to the forecast of ice starting at 3o’clock today we are going to dismiss kids at one. All students will have lunch and will be on buses ready to hit the road at 1o’clock. I realize this is an inconvenience but based on every forecast I have looked at we should not be getting any ice until at least 3 PM. I do not want to send kids on icy roads. County roads have lots of grit on them so some snow should not be a problem but avoiding the ice is always a priority.
