The West Washington School Corporation would like to thank Kimball Office Salem for their generous donation of two hydraulic floor cranes. As soon as they were dropped off in our Diesel Services classroom they were assembled and put to use.
The West Washington School Corporation greatly values the partnership between Kimball International and our Career and Technical Education programs. The Salem facility has always been charitable with their time, expertise and materials for our staff and students.
We are thrilled to have businesses within our community that support our school!

The elementary robotics team competed at Parkview in Bedford today. They excelled and scored 20th out of 32 teams. Their attitudes and kindness shown through and were complimented by several of the adults. We are so proud of them for a tremendous season!
WWSC will be on a Virtual Schedule tomorrow, Friday January 31, 2025.
We are experiencing a very high number of students out due to illness. We passed the threshold of less than 80% attendance in both the elementary school and Jr/Sr high school that requires us to contact our local department of health and the state department of health. In the Jr/Sr high school we have more than 30% of our students out due to illness.
We will be in physical attendance Monday and we will evaluate attendance percentages at that time. We are hopeful that this will stop the spread and allow our staff and students to heal over the weekend.
We have experienced a high level of illness at school. Many have reported back that they tested positive for Flu A.
Please monitor the health of your child and do not send them to school sick. Students with a fever need to be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning.

We are excited to welcome everyone back for the start of the second semester of the '24-'25 school year!
The West Washington School Corporation will be CLOSED on Friday January 10th for a SNOW DAY.
The timing of predicted snow with our current conditions do not make it advisable to attempt to get students to school and then have to rush them home in the middle of the heavy snow timing.
Next week the West Washington School App will undergo an update that will improve ROOMS.
When you open the school app if will prompt you to update. Your ROOMS messages will now appear in a stream like format. We are excited about this new feature. The update should also clear up some notification errors that we have been experiencing.
ROOMS is the communication piece our teachers and coaches utilize to send direct messages to parents and students. It also allows parents and students to communicate back with West Washington staff.
If you do not have ROOMS account or have ROOMS questions please contact Rob Batchelor by email at RobBatch@wwcs.k12.in.us
With all this weather it is hard to keep up with athletics and ECA cancellations, UNLESS you have an EventLink account and then the messages come straight to your phone and email. If you don't have an account, set one up today.

WWSC will be closed on Wednesday January 8, 2025.
After hours of driving, we believe it is in the best interest of safety to cancel tomorrow. I am sorry for those gearing up to return. We were hopeful to get kids in tomorrow, but an extensive look at roads make it unadvisable.
Our county roads are a mixed bag or great condition, fair condition, and poor condition. Our county crews have done a tremendous job and worked a lot of hours to get roads to this point. However, some areas are only one vehicle wide. We encountered oncoming traffic and when making room it is very easy to be drawn into the ditch and we had trouble in four wheel drive multiple times.
I have a lot faith in our bus drivers, but on several routes the large vehicle would encounter major issues if they encountered oncoming traffic. For that reason, we will be closed.
This will be another SNOW DAY and there will be no virtual classes. There are multiple ways to make up this day and we will make that decision in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed for a two hour delay start on Thursday.
WWSC will be closed on Monday 1/6/25.
There will be no school, no after school or extracurricular activities and there will NOT be a virtual day. This SNOW DAY will be made up on January 20th.
At this time we are calling for a 2 hour delay on Tuesday for planning purposes. This will be re-evaluated tomorrow and if a cancellation is necessary it will be upgraded to a SNOW DAY.
The only homework is to go out and enjoy the SNOW DAY and post your pictures playing in the snow!
Merry Christmas to all of Senator Nation!
