Dear Stakeholders,
Attached you will find our Return to Learn Plan. We will be formally presenting this document at our board meeting on August 14, 2020, at 7 PM. We are recommending that you attend the Zoom meeting if you have any questions or concerns in order to maintain the Governor's directive of social gatherings. We will have an extremely limited number of seats available. If you wish to attend the meeting in person, please contact the Elementary School Office and make your request.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
West Greene SD Administrative Team

Secretaries will be making live phone calls to all homes of students beginning tomorrow, Monday, August 10th. They will be asking several important questions that will help us with the final details of our plan for children to return to school this fall or to participate in the on-line learning offered through WG. Please look for the call in the next few days and answer the questions asked to you as accurately as possible.
CALLING ALL SUBSTITUTES: West Greene S.D. is the only Greene County school returning to a traditional 5 day/week student schedule this fall. We would love to add additional substitute teachers to our list. WG subs earn $95/day for the first 30 days worked and $120/day for every day after 30 days. Please contact Saundra McGrath at 724-499-5183 x2210 for additional information.
Physicals will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at the Elementary Nurse's Office from 9:00 am until 12:00 noon. We ask parents to have a completed PIAA CIPPEE form completed for their child to get a physical, AND to call in to the Elementary Office and schedule a timed appointment (not just show up and wait). Call 724-499-5183 ext. 2310 to schedule. We will try to schedule appointments every 10 minutes.

2019-2020 Prom Cancelation
Dear Students and Parents,
Due to the West Virginia mandatory face-covering requirements, the social gathering limits of 25 people, and the uncertainty with increased cases of COVID 19 in our region, the Prom Sponsors and I have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 West Greene Prom. The Prom was to be held at Lakeview Resort on Wednesday, July 29, 2020. This was not an easy decision to make, but we believe that it is important to be socially responsible during this time.
The West Virginia indoor face-covering requirements state that individuals must wear face coverings indoors where social distancing cannot be maintained. The social gathering limitations of a maximum of 25 people also will impact the number of students attending Prom. We will be making arrangements for students to receive a refund for the cost of their Prom Tickets. That information will be posted to the District website and other Social Media outlets as it is developed.
With all of the planning for the start of the 2020-2021 school year and other activities that are occurring at this time, we would like to be cautious with the events that students participate in so that we do not put anyone at risk.
Thank you for your understanding.
Mr. Sakai and the Prom Sponsors
