Transportation Info Needed! As we start working on routes for the 2026-27 school year, we need to know if there are changes from you! REMEMBER! You all received a letter at the end of the school year with transportation updates for the 2026-27 school year! You are allowed an AM pick-up and a PM drop-off this year. Students will not be permitted to ride a different bus in the morning or get off at a different stop in the PM other than their designated AM and PM stops.
What we need to know:
- If your child needs to be picked up or dropped off at a different location from last year.
- If your child switched daycare
- If your child did not ride the bus last year, but needs to this year
- If your child does not need the bus to stop at your house at all this year to pick your child up or to drop your child off
Please email this information to Yvonne at eashy@westview.k12.in.us or call 260-768-4404

Dear Westview Families,
As we prepare to welcome students back for another outstanding school year, I want to share an important update regarding a new Indiana law that will impact all students beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.
To comply with this new state law, Westview School Corporation will implement a bell-to-bell personal device expectation. From the start of the school day until dismissal, students' personal wireless devices must be powered off, stored away, and inaccessible throughout the instructional day. This expectation is designed to reduce distractions, increase student engagement, and promote meaningful interactions among students and staff.
This expectation applies to all personal electronic devices, including:
*Cell phones
*Smartwatches
*Tablets
*Gaming devices
*Any other personal communication or internet-capable device
One of the most significant changes is that personal devices will no longer be permitted during lunch or passing periods. Please note that this expectation applies only to personal devices and does not include school-issued technology that students use for learning in their classrooms.
Attached to this letter is a graphic that outlines the new bell-to-bell personal device expectations. We encourage you to review it with your child before the start of school. The graphic provides a clear overview of how this new law will be implemented at Westview and answers many of the common questions families may have.
If you need to communicate with your child during the school day, we ask that you contact your child's school office. Our staff will ensure that important messages are delivered promptly. Likewise, if a student needs to contact a parent or guardian during the school day, they may do so through the school office.
As required by Indiana law, exceptions will be made for students whose personal devices are needed for documented medical purposes, safety concerns, translation services, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), Section 504 Plans, or other administrator-approved needs.
Over the past several years, schools across Indiana have seen the positive impact of limiting personal device use during the school day. Students report fewer distractions, stronger relationships with classmates and teachers, and greater engagement in classroom learning. We are confident that these new expectations will further support a safe, focused, and positive learning environment for every Westview student.
Our building administrators and staff have worked together to ensure these expectations are implemented consistently across all Westview schools. Additional building-specific procedures and reminders will be shared with families prior to the first day of school.
Your partnership plays a vital role in the success of this initiative. We appreciate your support in discussing these expectations with your child before school begins. By working together, we can create classrooms where students are fully engaged, connected with one another, and focused on learning.
Thank you for your continued support of Westview School Corporation. We look forward to an exceptional 2026-2027 school year and appreciate your partnership as we continue our tradition of excellence.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jaime Carroll
Superintendent
Westview School Corporation
