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!
Our 2nd Generation brings you a special VIP view of the Holiday magic around our elementary school!

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.
