School District of Westfield
September 2024 Newsletter
Dear Pioneer Families,
Welcome back to school!
We’re thrilled to have our students returning, and our team has been working hard to ensure everything is ready for a fantastic year ahead. From setting up classrooms to planning engaging lessons, we’ve put in a lot of effort to make sure your student has the best experience possible.
As we get started, please be aware that during the first few days, there may be some delays with drop-off and pick-up as students adjust to their new routines. It’s normal for buses to run late at first, so don’t be concerned. If you haven’t received pick-up time details from your student’s bus driver, please contact your school on Tuesday morning, and they’ll assist you. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we help students learn their routine and transportation routes.
As we focus on getting back into the swing of things, it's important to remember that student safety remains our top priority. Be sure to stay informed about the drills and practices we implement to ensure a safe environment for everyone. Included you will find some information on our safety drills.
In addition to all the exciting student activities, we have two upcoming Q&A Open House events to help everyone get informed about the school referendum that will appear on the ballot this November. More information is provided below.
Please continue reading for important district-wide updates and links to information specific to each school. We hope you find this newsletter both user-friendly and informative.
Here’s to a successful school year ahead!
Please be sure to reach out to us if you have any questions. We all want to work together to support you and your student(s).
Warm regards,
Michelle Johnson

School Safety
A Shared Responsibility
The safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities here at the School District of Westfield. We are committed to fostering a nurturing and secure school environment, and we do this through daily interactions and educational opportunities that promote student wellness, internet safety, physical safety, and the development of a positive school community.
One of the fundamental ways we ensure a safe school environment is by teaching our students that safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage them with the phrase, "If you see something, say something." By speaking up, we can all contribute to keeping each other safe.
In addition to promoting a culture of safety through positive daily interactions and lessons, we also regularly practice emergency drills and procedures throughout the school year. These drills are essential in preparing students and staff to respond calmly and effectively in the event of an emergency. They cover a range of scenarios, including evacuation procedures, addressing potential threats of violence, handling medical emergencies, and responding to a school intruder.
During the September and October months, our students and staff participate in drills such as Evacuation and Administrative Hold. We also engage in discussions that help everyone better understand how to respond in the unlikely event of a threat of violence within the school setting.
We kindly request your support in reinforcing these scenarios with your child(ren) in an age-appropriate manner. The skills and knowledge gained from these discussions extend beyond the school day and can be applied in various settings, contributing to the overall safety of our community.
Thank you for your continued partnership in creating a safe and nurturing environment for our students. Together, we can ensure a secure and supportive learning experience for all.
