The West Liberty-Salem School District, like many organizations is receiving continual updates regarding the threat of the Coronavirus in our community and State. In an attempt to be proactive and mitigate the spread of this disease, the district will be following the recommendations of the CDC, health departments and the Governor of Ohio. At this time school will remain open as scheduled, however, many events will be canceled due to the increased chance of exposure of our students and our community to the virus. Please see more information and a complete report of these cancellations on our school website under news. As new information is received hourly from the health department and the Governor's office, we will continue to update how the Coronavirus will impact our school district. Thank you very much for your understanding during these next few weeks or months. I can not express how disappointed I am in having to cancel or alter scheduled school events, however, the threat of spreading this illness and the importance of keeping our community healthy is very important. Thank you, Kraig Hissong

As if Choir isn’t enough fun, middle school Choir students earned their dessert carry-in by earning all of their tally marks for great behavior! There was a chocolate fondue station, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, soda and fruit (but let’s be honest, it was getting dipped in that delectable chocolate fountain). They watched a bit of Ice Age, enjoyed the great snacks and company. They earned it!
WOW! Our little community never ceases to amaze us! Chipotle was packed last night supporting the WL-S Ladies Tigers Track and Field fundraiser! Coaches, teachers, administration, students, athletes, and families packed the house for the duration of the event waiting up to an hour in line just to support our athletes! As always, we appreciate how our community always rallies in support of our students! Thank you for spending your evening with us!
