Good evening Westfield,
We were notified this evening of two positive cases in our district. One case involved an off-site high school student. This situation will not require contact tracing.
The second case involves a shared employee between the elementary and secondary schools. Due to the quarantine and staffing concerns, our district must shift to remote learning for tomorrow. I will communicate an update tomorrow as it pertains to the coming days.
Your child’s principal will be following up to this message with details pertaining to remote learning.
Thank you for your understanding and be well WACS.
- Mr. Cipolla
MS & HS Remote Learning - January 5th
Due to staffing and quarantining issues, we are moving to remote learning for Tuesday. All MS & HS students will follow our normal bell schedule to participate in their classes remotely.
UPDATE - NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
From WACS Tech Dept: The network has been stabilized County Wide as of 12:45pm this afternoon. We will continue to monitor the internet connectivity and send any updates as needed. Thank you for being part of this process.
We have been notified that two students have tested positive for COVID - 19. They are considered off-site contacts. There is no need to contact trace within our school (no in-school contacts).
Be well WACS!
We would like to thank our students, parents, guardians, teachers, and staff for their patience and cooperation as we work through the countywide connectivity issues. We expect these intermittent network service disruptions to continue until these issues are resolved.

A little Christmas cheer from Mr. K and his High School Chorus. We think their singing is pretty magical for being 12ft apart from one another!

Westfield really came through for the "Socks for Seniors" sock drive this year. We collected 80 pairs of socks that were then wrapped by the WACS Builders' and Key Clubs. All of the donations were given to
Westfield's Union Relief Organization and distributed this past weekend to local senior citizens! Thank you for your generous support!

Good morning WACS,
We were notified today that an employee in our secondary school tested positive for COVID -19. The individual was last present on December 8th. As per county guidelines, there is no need for contact tracing at this time. Our employee was not in direct contact (within 6 ft.) for 10 minutes or greater with any individuals. We will continue to collaborate with and follow the guidance established by our county health department.
Please continue to wear face coverings and maintain your distance – 6 feet or greater.
Be well WACS!
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Cluster Action Initiative and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) require schools that are in a designated yellow, orange, or red zone to test specific percentages of in-person students, teachers, and staff for COVID-19 in order to hold in-person classes.
While neither Westfield nor Chautauqua County are currently considered a yellow, orange or red zone, we are taking action to prepare for these regulations should the need arise.
Westfield is inviting you to an informational meeting about the guidelines and projected process for testing that would allow in-person learning to continue in the event that our area is designated a yellow zone. This will be presented via Zoom on Wednesday, December 16, at 6:30 pm. Please complete the information below. An invitation with zoom credentials will be sent to the email you share here, please verify it is entered correctly.
Thank you for your continued role in keeping our school a safe place to learn.
