Good afternoon Westfield Families:
In an effort to reduce person-to-person contact, our District will no longer make daily adjustments to our bus schedule. Students will ride their regularly scheduled bus to and from school each day. This change will begin on Friday, October, 9th.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to keep safety and health a priority at WACS.
Please contact our transportation department at 326 - 3841 with any questions.

Elementary Arrival Time
Beginning Monday, October 5, the Elementary School will open its doors at 8:25 rather than 8:15. This is our usual time from last year and we are returning to it because we now know what times our busses arrive due to the required Covid staggered arrival.
Please call the office if you have any questions (#208)
Elementary Families: Next week, 10/4-10/10, is National Fire Safety Week. Family friendly activities will be shared with you each day during the school week.

In-person students will bring these items home in their folders. Stay tuned for more updates and fire safety related fun!
