Greetings Westport Families:

WELCOME to the 2021- 2022 school year! This letter comes with GREAT excitement as we prepare to finally welcome all our wonderful students and staff back into the school building after over a year of virtual and/or hybrid learning. We know the last two school years presented several challenges, and we applaud you for your perseverance and endurance to get through it all.

As we re-enter into a full-scale learning environment, please be assured all mandated protocols to keep our students and staff safe is our priority. Additionally, students’ educational, social, and emotional needs will be personalized to best support each of them.

As the first day is quickly approaching, please make note of the following important dates, times, and information:  

• All students (unless registered for the Districtwide FULL TIME Online Academy) will return to in-person learning 5-days a week.
• First Day of School-Monday, August 30, 2021. (Students will line up according to homerooms.)
• Last Day of School-Wednesday, June 8, 2022. (This date may be extended due to inclement weather.)
