Planning for next school year

July 10, 2020
West Muskingum Families,
     West Muskingum Schools will be in session five (5) days a week starting in the fall. Staff members are mandated by Governor DeWine to wear a face covering and he recommends students in grades 3-12 also wear a face covering. Therefore, parents can decide if they want their student to wear a face covering. For those students who want an online option, we will also be providing that, so that they can remain a West Muskingum student. 
     The online option will look different from last spring. We will be offering an online platform for students to complete work, and we are exploring the possibility of a platform where a teacher is online via Zoom during the day to work with students at home. 
     If you are interested in an online platform we ask that you complete the short remote learning survey below to assist us in our planning for the fall. If you have any questions, I encourage you to send me an email at cshawger@laca.org or call the administration center at 740-455-4052.

 West Muskingum Families,
     West Muskingum Schools will review the plan to restart schools in the fall and will be making a formal announcement as soon as possible.  Please know that our goal is to have students with us in the building on a full time basis if possible.  With that being said,  we know that some families will require an online option for students with underlying conditions.  We will be providing that option as well.  This will be a process with a never ending list of things to consider, so we ask for your patience as we continue to work through this.
     As we work together with our community, we believe we can open school in person and keep students and staff safe.  We will be releasing information as we get it through our usual platforms.

Thank you,

Chad Shawger
Superintendent
