We are very excited to announce that the Washington-Nile Local School District has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service that will be replacing paper forms. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign enrollment, back-to-school and athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. For that reason we need accurate email addresses for parents of every student. Please follow the link and fill out the information so we can add it to your child's file.

The governor has ordered schools to continue with distance learning, this does not mean school is closed for the year. Students are to continue working on assignments which are being graded and placed in Progress Book. The grades will count in the final average for the year. Teachers are reporting that some students need to catch up on their work. We need to work together to make this a success for our children.
Many parents have requested to be added to your child's Google Classroom. When you receive the invitation through email you must accept it. Then you will have the choice to set up daily or weekly notifications. If you do not accept the invitation, you will not receive any notifications.

Any parent that needs a Progress Book account set up, or needs a password, please email Mr. Jordan at christopher.jordan@westsenators.org
As we've reached the end of our second full week of distance learning, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the parents who are helping us from home. We are much better off than some other schools because of our experience using Google Classroom and Chromebooks and because our parents are committed to helping us make this process work. It takes a team effort. As we look forward, we know the next three weeks will be distance learning and I suspect it may be even longer. Thank you top the teachers for their hard work, which has been more hours than a typical school day. And thank you to the students for continuing to learn from home, even those that email me with questions at two in the morning. Everyone keep up the great work, stay safe, and have a great weekend.
As you have already heard, the stay at home order has been extended through May 1st. Teachers will continue distance learning as long as necessary. As a clarification, when the governor said no report cards, this was school report cards. Student report cards are still in place. Grades are being taken daily. Most students are completing their work in a timely manner. Thank you to the parents that are helping at home.
Teachers have reported that a number of students are not completing assignments in a timely manor. The assignments count and grades are being taken. Please ensure you child stays up to date with their work. We need to work together to maintain education. Thank you.
Not all students have checked in via Google Classroom. This concerns me as school will still take place, just online. I want to be sure all students are connected. Please check with your child to make sure they have checked in and joined my Google classroom class.
Thank you
There are still a number of students that have not checked in on Google Classroom. Please ask students to do so. We are trying to keep them engaged this week.
Good morning West Middle School. If you have not connected with your teachers electronically, please do so today. Check your email and Google Classroom accounts. If you need anything from the school, including Chromebooks, we are in from 9 to 2. Have a good day!

The Ohio Dept. of Health has also added an additional immunization ( a total of 2 shots) for students entering the 7th grade. Currently your child is required to get a Tdap shot (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) to begin their 7th grade year. Also in addition, your child will need a Meningococcal vaccine (meningitis). A second dose of Meningococcal vaccine will be needed before their 12th grade school year. This second dose of the Meningococcal will be given after age 16. In summary, for your child to BEGIN the 7th grade school year, both a Tdap and a Meningococcal vaccines are required. Please give any documentation of these to the school office (do not give to a coach) before the first day of school in 2017 to avoid any exclusions. Thank you for your cooperation.

Congratulations to the PWMS Chamber Choir!! They received a superior rating at their competition at King’s Island on Friday. The judge working with the choir in this photo is Dr. Randall Wolfe, conductor of the West Chester Chorale in northern Cincinnati. He told the choir he kept having to double check to make sure he was listening to middle school and not high school. In his comments, he stated, “I could listen to this choir all day.“ The choir received superior ratings from all three judges.
