Attached is information regarding virtual parent mentor training opportunities coming up in the near future!
Good evening, we would like to remind everyone that there will be no school on Monday September 7th in observance of Labor Day. We want to remind everyone to complete the online annual school forms by logging in to our Registration Gateway at cas.ovsd.us. We would also like to remind parents that we still have 2019-2020 yearbooks on sale in the office for $25.00. We will also have a brief Title 1 and parental involvement plan revision meeting on September 9th at 4 p.m. in the library for anyone interested in attending. We want to thank everyone for a smooth and successful start to the year! As we head into week three, the staff and students are feeling far more comfortable with the changes that have come about this year due to COVID-19. As always, we appreciate your support! Have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend!
Special thanks to anonymous donors who purchased ice cream for all of our students on Fridays! It is awesome to have such outstanding support from our community to help make our students day just a little sweeter.
The Adams County Ohio Valley School Board will meet in regular session this evening at 5pm. You may watch it live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_yFl5VdTGE

West Union Elementary would like to thank Satterfield Chapel for their generous donation. Through their support they have once again fully stocked the WUES Comfort Closet this year. As students have all sorts of different needs that may arise - from deodorant to toothpaste and even undergarments - the comfort closet helps students meet these needs. This year Satterfield Chapel also donated dozens of pairs of shoes for students who need them. The church has stepped up to help the our students and the staff of West Union Elementary could not be more grateful!
