Westfield Academy and Central School

We were notified of two positive COVID - 19 cases. Both cases involve high school students. The first student was last present on March 3. Contact tracing is necessary. We are contacting those individuals who were direct contacts. The second case is considered an off-site contact due to the last day the student was present on campus. Contact tracing is not required. These cases do not impact our in-person learning model. See you tomorrow WACS!

Good afternoon Wolverines, Our district, grades PK -12, will move to fully remote instruction tomorrow. We have a large number of employees with the opportunity to receive the second dose of the COVID – 19 vaccine. We consulted with our medical director and anticipate that side effects of the vaccine are a possibility. The move to remote learning is out of an abundance of caution for our learning environment and not related to quarantine or rates of COVID - 19. Additional information will be shared by our principals regarding remote learning for tomorrow. Our school will provide meals for students tomorrow. Please continue to watch for additional information. Thank you.
