As per CDC/DOH guidelines, the West Greene School District will be restarting traditional instruction on Wednesday, September 23, 2020.

Football Ticket Information 2 tickets per household, not per player, are only being sold to the following: Parents of VARSITY football players Parents of VARSITY cheerleaders Parents of band members As many of you know, PA House Bill 2787 (giving local schools the ability to make decisions about facility capacity during their school events) passed the House 155-47 and passed the Senate, 39-11. Once it gets signed by both the Senate and the House, it will go to the Governor who may sign it, veto it, or let it sit for 10 days and become law. Once that occurs, we will be able to expand our capacity. As of right now, our main concern is to give parents the opportunity to see their children play.

School picture day at the JSHS is Tuesday, September 15. Order forms went home with students Thursday, Sept. 10. Extra order forms, if students need them, will be available in either office. You can order online using the website and Picture Day ID available on the order forms. EVTKBCXCQ is the order ID.

FREE MEALS FOR ALL WG STUDENTS: For the entire month of September, all WG students are eligible for free meals. This opportunity may extend beyond September, but that information is unclear at this time. If interested, you may view our menu at wgsd.org

Parent Drop-Off for elementary students is from 7:55 AM to 8:30 AM. We are expecting a higher than normal volume of students getting dropped off which will likey cause traffic congestion in our parking lot and on Hargus Creek Rd. When pulling into the lot to drop your child off, please do not leave large gaps in between your car and the one in front of you. Please be patient as we get students temperatures taken and out of the vehicles. Please use caution when entering and exiting the drop off area. If you can delay dropping your child off until between 8:15 and 8:30, that may help in minimizing congestion in our lot and on Hargus Creek Rd. Finally, we encourage all parents to take their child's temperature prior to bringing them to school. Any student with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be able to enter the school building. Thank you all for your patience as we enter this unique school year.

Kindergrten Orientation is scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st at 2:00. If you haven't yet received an invitation to attend, please contact the elementary office at 724-499-5183 for details. We are asking that only 1 parent/guardian attend the orientation with their child. We are looking forward to meeting you and your child.
