The event will be held on Tuesday, April 22 at Westfield High School from 1:00-2:30 PM. We hope to see you there!

We want to remind our families that ongoing construction will impact our morning and afternoon commutes, potentially causing delays. We encourage you to review the city’s project updates here.

Key Road Closures & Suggested Routes:

• Union St. & SR 32 East and West from Union to Poplar will be closed.
• Families traveling to WIS & WMS are advised to use Westfield Blvd/Poplar Street to the roundabout.
• High school students should consider using 191st Street or 186th Street as alternate routes.

Please allow extra time for your commute and exercise caution while traveling. We anticipate there will be an impact on bus arrival and departure times from WIS/WMS and WHS as we learn these new traffic patterns. Thank you for your patience during this phase!
