Is the District prepared for short-term disruptions?

The Western Beaver County School District takes the responsibility of your student’s health very seriously. We will strive to balance the health and safety concerns with the emotional and social needs that are vital to the development of children when we are in session. Should we move to a situation requiring more aggressive protocols that require a decreased student population (split schedule) or virtual/online programs we are prepared to do so. We have invested in electronic devices, software, and teacher training that will support these platforms in order to continue the important job of educating your student. Specific plans with regard to technology will be outlined in other documents.

Will my child still take field trips?

At this time, field trips are not being scheduled and decisions for future trips will be made as more information becomes available.

What if I need to pick up my child during the day for an appointment?

Please ring the buzzer at the door, identify yourself and the student being picked up and remain out front until your child is brought to you.

What is the district doing to protect students and staff against the spread of Coronavirus?

WBCSD will continue to follow the guidance of PDE, the County Health Department, the PA Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
