FIRST STAFF DAY OF THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR IS IN THE BOOKS!
Today, we welcomed our amazing Westview staff back for a day filled with information, inspiration, laughter, dancing, connection, and plenty of spirit!
Our morning included several informational speakers, a message from Dr. Jaime Carroll about the exciting future of Westview and our upcoming strategic planning work, and a hilarious game-show skit from our incredible school nurses!
We ended our time together with a dynamic and inspiring keynote from Kim Strobel, who shared a powerful message about the importance of happiness in both our personal and professional lives. One message that resonated with our staff was: “We have to show up for ourselves before we can show up for others.” What an important reminder as we begin a new year of caring for, encouraging, and inspiring our students, and one another.
There was so much energy in the room today, and one thing was clear, our people are what make Westview such a special place. We are excited, we are ready, and we cannot wait to see what this year holds for our students, staff, families, and community!
The best is yet to come, Warriors! ❤️💛
A huge thank you to KZ Auto for our incredible bag of school supplies-- we appreciate it!
We are ready to see you Tuesday, August 11th!! Check out the message from our principals and Dr. Carroll

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
