Dear Families,
Western Beaver School District has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously.
Additionally, the district has been in contact with the Beaver and Ohioville Police Departments regarding the post. We may have an increased police presence in and around our buildings on Friday as an added precaution.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.
If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
On behalf of the Western Beaver faculty, staff and administration , we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
School will resume Tuesday, November 30th.

Dear Western Beaver Families,
As we move further into the school year, we are experiencing supply chain difficulties like never before. While we are still able to provide meals to all students, we must move forward with a great deal of flexibility. The best step that I can think of to help avoid unexpected menu changes is to change to releasing a weekly menu, instead of a monthly menu. Just like at home, planning for a month’s worth of meals at once is proving to be more challenging.
We are trying to focus on providing items that are reasonably and consistently available, which may mean more repetition or a real curveball at times. We may be more vague on the offerings. For example, if the menu lists “carrots” that may mean baby carrots, steamed carrots, or diced carrots. Additionally, the menu may simply list “vegetables” and we will provide the vegetable we are able to procure. This will be applicable to any of the menu items we offer.
Luckily, the cafeteria staff is very experienced with the foods many of the students enjoy and prefer. We will make every effort to keep those items in rotation.
The new menu will be released on Fridays for the upcoming week, beginning on October 1. The menus will be posted on the website, in the app, and on the parent social media pages.
Thank you for your patience and willingness to be flexible as we try to navigate this very unorthodox time.
Brooke Stebick, Food Services Director
