Governor DeWine announced that schools will remain closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year. Students will continue remote learning. We will continue to serve meals each Monday from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm at designated locations and curb side tech services will continue on Tuesdays. Plans for end of year activities (graduation, returning materials to the school, student recognition, etc...) are being developed. Be assured, that we understand the importance of these events, especially for our seniors, all options are being considered. Information will be communicated as soon as it becomes available.

Parents, thank you for your patience as we've been implementing remote learning! Would you please take a moment to take this survey and let us know how we're doing and how we can help? https://wnls.pw/survey/

The station will be set up in front of the high school.

Students should start distance learning today. If you are having any technical difficulty, please contact your teacher(s) initially. If you are unable to contact a teacher or resolve the problem, please contact Bill Deacon at 740-858-3880 or by email at William.deacon@westsenators.org.
