Dear Parents & Guardians,
We here at the WVS are proud to announce the formation of our SCHOOL COUNCIL! The purpose of the school council is to assist the principal with many items such as, but not limited to, reviewing the school building budget(s) and developing the school improvement plan(s). The school council also serves as an advisory board for the school. This is a great opportunity to get involved in building the future of the Westfield Virtual School, and we are looking for parent/guardian volunteers. We will be meeting once a month during the school year. We are sending out a Google form to everyone tomorrow (by email) so please fill out the form if you are interested and then we will contact everyone who is interested regarding the date of the first meeting.
Thanks!
The WVS Team

Westfield Public School Registration is now OPEN!
Sue and Ralph Figy and Eileen Jachym, volunteers helping with the Pfizer and Janssen J&J COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Aug. 26 at Westfield High School will be at the doors of the high school from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. greeting everyone who comes for a shot, and handing them a $10 gift card. The free clinic is open to students, staff and community members ages 12 and up.
Sue Figy said the gift cards are thanks to the generosity of Westfield Gas & Electric and Firtion Adams Funeral Home, along with many, many people in the community that have sent in gift cards, the vast majority of which are from businesses in town, but some as far afield as McCray’s Farm in South Hadley.
This will be the second clinic at Westfield High School. Seventy-five people received vaccinations at the first clinic, and this one has the capacity to serve 140 people. Pre-registration is preferred, but walk-ins will be taken as slots are available.
Registration for the Aug. 26 vaccination clinic is simple to complete using a cell phone, tablet or computer, and going to https://curative.com/sites/28991 . The link is also available at www.schoolsofwestfield.org under COVID-19 Testing and Health Services.
Parents/guardians are able to give fully-compliant consent for their minor to be vaccinated through the digital sign-up process. Although a health insurance card is requested at sign up, health insurance is not required to participate in the free clinic.
The second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will be administered at Westfield High School from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16.
