Hello, this is Kraig Hissong, Superintendent of West Liberty-Salem, with some important announcements. First, we will be conducting a full scale safety drill at school tomorrow. A full scale drill is required by the State of Ohio and is considered full scale when it involves local first responders. Tomorrow, the district will practice responding to a leak at a nearby anhydrous plant. West Liberty Fire and EMS along with the Sheriff Department will respond to this scenario to practice with the district. Please do not be alarmed if you see first responders at the school. The correct response to an anhydrous leak is to lock the building down to prevent outside air entering the building. If you arrive during the drill, you may have to wait a few minutes before you are able to enter. Also, tomorrow evening are parent teacher conferences. If you have not made an appointment with you child’s teachers, please call the office to do so. Last, tomorrow evening is the first performance of our fall Drama Club Performance at 7pm. Please join us for a fun evening. Thank you.
Football Playoff orders may be picked up between 7:40 AM and 6 PM, tomorrow in the main office. Thank you!

Our elementary staff makes sure to spread love and kindness each month to their fellow co-workers by engaging in acts of kindness. Our kindergarten teachers are using the ‘kindness cart’ to give out fall treats and remind staff of the great job they are doing! Our teachers know that when they feel loved and appreciated so do our students!
