Student athletes...It was just announced that all 2019-20 physicals that are on IHSAA forms will be valid for the 2020-2021 school year. This is due to the difficulty scheduling physicals this spring and summer.
The Community Harvest Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry will be held every Monday at 1 pm at the IGA parking lot in Wolcottville in a drive thru fashion.
For the safety of Community Harvest’s staff and volunteers, they request that participants clear and unlock the trunk of their vehicle to facilitate a no-contact transfer of groceries.
If you are in the Shipshewana area and need food or would like to donate, here is the information. #WeAreInThisTogether
If you are missing your Chromebook charger, or possibly your Chromebook, we will be having open hours for you to pick up those devices.
Starting on Monday, April 20th through Friday, April 24th, you will be able to pick up your charger or Chromebook at door number 2 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 Noon.
Door number 2 is the west side door right beside the admin office. It is the exit door closest to the technology office.
Please bring your Chromebook with you so we can confirm and match the charger number with your Chromebook.
We also ask that you be mindful of the 6 ft guidelines and that one student enters the entryway at a time. Please stand on the X that will be marked on the floor and try not to get too close to one another or the technician working.
Lastly, if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL! Instead, notify Randy Sizemore at sizemorer@westview.k12.in
We will figure out another way to get it to you.

Junior-high parents:
While there will be no homework assigned in language arts classes during our shut down, all 7th and 8th-grade students are being taken to the library during their language arts class periods and are being encouraged to bring home books to read during this time. Also, junior high students have subscriptions to IXL and Newsela, which can be accessed from home if internet is available. These subscriptions are available to practice skills learned in their language arts classes.
Fun fact: On Monday, our students checked out 1,139 books! To put this in perspective, we checked out 2,295 books during March 2019. In other words, we checked out 1/2 of our monthly average in one day. A huge thank you to our teachers for encouraging reading over this break and to Mrs. Dee Hostetler and Mrs. Vickie Lambright for helping our students checkout ALL THOSE books!
