Hello, This is Kraig Hissong, WLS Superintendent with some announcements.
The Tickets for tonight’s football game are sold out against Greeneview, however, you may watch the game via our LIVE STREAM for free on the district’s website. Just go to www.wlstigers.org and locate the LIVE STREAM link on the top banner of the homepage. Click the link and then click the play arrow to start the LIVE STREAM. Since this is our first attempt to LIVE STREAM a sporting event, we are unsure how the sound will work. The video may or may not have sound. We do know that the video feed will lag behind live action by about 20 seconds. We hope that you enjoy this feature as we plan to use livestreaming to showcase other sporting events as well.
Also, please continue to check our website under COVID 19 Information that you will find as the first option under the menu bar located on the upper righthand corner of the website. There is updated information regarding our return to school and procedures that we will be following. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.
Thank you,
Kraig Hissong

Hello, this is Mr. Hollar with some important beginning of the year information for elementary students. You have heard some of this information before, but some of this information will be new to you. Please review carefully. For those of you who received the email earlier today, this is the most updated link. https://5il.co/kaw0. Make sure to click the round i (information) buttons for additional details on certain topics. Thank you, and have a great night.
If you’ve ever had the opportunity to meet our elementary librarian, Mrs. Molly Perdue, then you know her commitment to early literacy and instilling a love of reading are her top priorities. And that’s why Library time is a favorite among our students, who get story time with Mrs. Perdue each week. She chooses exciting and relevant topics, and her enthusiasm for story telling is captivating.
Back in March, Mrs. Perdue refused to let school closing stop her from continuing that very tradition. She began recording herself reading those same exciting stories and sent them to our kindergarten and first graders. In those videos, she challenged students to “read, read and read some more”. She encouraged them to read to different people in their families, and she even pointed out that they could read the back of the cereal box when they were having breakfast!
One student in particular, Zane Kandel, a kindergartner last year, took her messages to heart and set a goal of reading 408 books this summer! Zane’s mom reached out to Mrs. Perdue thanking her for encouraging that early love of reading, and Mrs. Perdue got to work, again. She worked the numbers and sent Zane a video message explaining just how many books on average he would need to read each day in order to meet his goal. She told him that if he accomplished this feat she would let him choose any book he wanted from the Scholastic book program, her treat! Yesterday, Zane Kandel accomplished his goal by reading his 408th book! It goes without saying that Mrs. Perdue, and everyone at West Liberty-Salem, are very proud of Zane’s dedication to his goals and making reading a priority this summer! Congratulations, you did it!

Good morning! We wanted to provide you with a few updates on what to expect as we wrap up August!
Elementary students will receive notice the week of August 24 regarding your student’s teacher. You will not receive a paper notice this year, so be on the lookout for an email. We will notify you when those e-mails are sent.
Elementary will begin with the traditional staggered start. KG will attend just one day on Sept. 8, 9, 10, or 11. All KG will begin on 9/14. Grades 1-5 will also just attend a selected day on September 8, 9, or 10 with all students attending on 9/11.
Parents of freshman should check your e-mail this week for information and a sign up link for your student to attend iPad in-service next week. The email is from Rich Johnson. Students in grades 10-12 will receive info on iPad pick up dates very soon.
Finally, Final Forms will be up and running soon. This is how you will complete all necessary paperwork including emergency medical forms, free and reduced lunch forms, etc. We will notify you when this is available. We apologize, but there will not be open house this year. We will include information on fees and when to bring supplies when final communications are sent.
We look forward to making this a great year! Go Tigers!

Hello, this is Kraig Hissong, Superintendent of West Liberty-Salem Local Schools. As previously shared, WL-S will be providing two learning options this school year: on-campus or 100% remote, online learning. There are two documents we encourage you to read before making your commitment. One explains in-person learning and the other explains remote learning. These can be found by visiting the district website, click menu, then click COVID-19 information. There you will find a Remote Learning Guide and an In-Person Learning Guide. If after reading the documents, you have further questions you’d like answered before making your decision, please reach out to the appropriate building principal.
Parents of students who will participate in the remote, online option for the first semester of the 20-21 school year, need to call the office this Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to register your student.
Again, to enroll your student in the online, remote learning option, please call 937-465-1060, extension 101 for the Elementary and extension 102 for MS/HS by 3:00 pm, Friday, August 7th.

We are welcoming some students back on campus! They have been busy with band camp, soccer camp, show choir camp, and the first annual Cross Country Midnight Mile! They are learning to navigate the new norm and are excited to be back!
Hello,
Yesterday evening the Board approved a revised School District Calendar for the 2020-2021 school year. The biggest change to note is that the school year now starts on September 8, 2020 for students (The day after Labor Day). With growing concerns over the COVID-19 virus at this time, we have moved a majority of our Professional Development days normally spaced throughout the calendar to the week before school start for students. This will allow school staff time to practice procedures and plan for the school year based on the county level we are in at the time. You can view the revised calendar on our website under the menu tab, 2020-2021 Printable School Calendar or use this link:
