Prior to the start of the elementary school day on Friday, September 30, a First Student bus driver shared that a Rossmoyne Elementary student was in possession of bullets on the school bus. Fortunately, the student did not make any threats or have any other items beside the magazine clip of bullets. Dr. Stoltz felt it was important to make our entire school community aware of the incident and to use it as an opportunity to ask for our school communities continued partnership in keeping our schools and buses safe.

On Thursday, November 3, 2022, the West Shore School District will hold its annual Middle School Career Awareness Fair for eighth grade students. The event is open to students at all three middle schools and our virtual learning academy, and will be hosted by Allen Middle School.  We are currently looking for volunteers to speak at the Career Fair.

The West Shore School District's Stronger Together Committee is excited to offer the District's first One District, One Book event with guest author Floyd Stokes reading his children's book My Glasses. Mr. Stokes is also bringing two other books (The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe and Dress Up) to read to our students with the help of his daughter.  These books are for a younger audience; however, all members of our school community are invited to join us for this FREE family event which will also include door prizes, crafts, and snacks. 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The goal of this month is to break the stigma around mental health and encourage people to seek help. In support of Mental Health Awareness Month and our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our students, staff, and families, we have partnered with Care Solace to provide an additional layer of care for our community.

 

THANK YOU to all who submitted feedback on the 2022-2023 proposed school calendar. After careful review of the comments, concerns, and questions, the Board of School Directors adopted a calendar for next school year. I have attached a copy (see bottom of the email) for your reference and planning.

The District does not carry medical insurance on students; however, it does provide parents with the opportunity to select a primary excess group insurance plan for their child. Since many group insurance policies no longer pay full hospital and medical expenses and many require a deductible or co-insurance, student accident insurance can help eliminate the possibility of out-of-pocket expenses.  There are two plans available for your consideration.
