Extended Learning Days
No school on Wednesday
What to expect
Westfield Washington Schools has included three (3) Extended Learning Days in the school calendar for the 2021-22 school year. The dates for these Extended Learning Days are:
Wednesday, September 15, 2021
Wednesday, January 12, 2022
Wednesday, April 20, 2022
For students, it is time outside of the traditional school day for students to work on projects, take educational trips or visit a university. These days are not eLearning days. Teachers will not be providing specific assignments and school work for the day.
For teachers, it is a time to work on our Continuous Quality Improvement process through professional development and the PLC process to improve our horizontal & vertical alignment in curriculum and instruction.
BAC on Extended Learning Days
BAC is open for all day care on the district's scheduled professional development days (September 15 registration closed). Each elementary school and the intermediate school will offer care on these days but enrollment is limited and spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

Coat drive
Hamilton County Kids Coats is preparing for our 2021 give-a-way in Hamilton County.
This year some of the sites will remain a drive thru site while others will return to in-person shopping. The drive thru sites will have pre-picked each child’s coat based on information gathered during sign-up. They will receive a coat, hat and gloves in a bag and will show up to their assigned give a way site and time and will be handed their items. The traditional give a way sites will have families show up and shop for their items on their own at their designated time.
Here is information for families that may need some assistance this year, or if your family or organization would like to volunteer in helping with the coat drive.
2021 give-a-way sites in Hamilton County
- October 28 Arcadia – In person shopping
- October 30 Westfield – Drive thru
- November 6 Carmel & Fishers – Drive thru
- November 13th Sheridan & Noblesville – In person shopping
The Online appointment sign-up is live now for kids that need coats until
October 15th https://kidscoats.org/appointments/ (You can also call if you do not
have internet at 317-324-8818)
Volunteers are welcome to visit our website https://kidscoats.org/volunteer to

Apply for Financial Assistance
Even though school lunches are free to all students, to receive financial assistance for curricular materials (Chromebooks, textbooks, workbooks, classroom novels, online resources, and supplies like science lab chemicals, and art supplies) families still need to apply to the free and reduced program.

Shamrock Shout Out
"She has been such a blessing as we start the new school year. We received a phone call one day from Joslyn to celebrate her first PINK day! It meant so much to me that Mrs. Myers went above and beyond to acknowledge Joslyn's great day. Joslyn has continued to strive to hit those top level behaviors because she was recognized for being exceptional. Thank you so much for cultivating a place of kindness, mindfulness, and positivity!"
