So you can take appropriate measures to monitor the health and safety of yourself, your child, and your family, we remain committed to ensuring our families and staff receive timely and meaningful information related to COVID-19. Click here to learn more about what to expect when the West Shore School District is notified of a confirmed positive COVID-19 case by parents, staff, or the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH).

Until further notice, all students are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch for free this school year.  Thanks to changes in regulations, that includes students who are returning for in person instruction the week of October 13, and those who are continuing to work remotely with Distance Learning 2.0.

The District has worked diligently over the last several months to develop a Health and Safety Plan for the safe reopening of schools. In addition to the Pandemic Team identified in the Plan, the District sought the feedback of numerous key stakeholder groups, including local physicians; legal counsel; District nurses; teachers; food services, maintenance and custodial staff; building and department administrators; and survey and email feedback from students, staff, and parents.

On September 10, Dr. Stoltz, Superintendent, and Dr. Whye, Assistant Superintendent, shared the District's revised Phased School Reopening Plan. Following the revised plan, beginning October 13, students will have the option to transition to in person instruction with blended learning. The revised plan does not impact those students who have already returned for some in person classes with vo-tech or through our Special Education program.  For more information, please click here.

The West Shore School District has partnered with CAOLA, the Capital Area Online Learning Association, to offer full and part-time online learning to families interested in cyber school. CAOLA is a collaborative effort between the Capital Area Intermediate Unit and member school districts to provide flexible online learning and high quality student instruction for our students from kindergarten through grade 12. Click here to learn more.
