Cool Creek Connections

It's hard to think about winter coats when it’s 90 degrees outside, but chilly days will be here before we know it!

Coats for Kids helps provide warm winter coats to children and families in need. Collection bins are available at each of our schools, so as you clean out closets or shop for the season ahead, help us fill the box and share the warmth!

Families who need a coat can register through October 8.

Register at kidscoats.org

If you think you may want to volunteer, help with a classroom party, join your child for lunch, or chaperone a field trip this year, now is a great time to complete your background check.

Westfield Washington Schools uses SafeVisitor for visitor management and background checks. Because the approval process can take 3–6 business days, completing your background check now will help ensure you're ready when an opportunity comes up. The $12.95 background check is valid for four years and can be used at any WWS school.

Don't wait until the field trip permission slip comes home—check this one off your back-to-school list now!

Families of students in grades 3–12 can purchase optional Chromebook protection through K12 Tech for $23 per student. While the plan is not required, it is highly recommended since Chromebook repairs can be costly.

The plan covers accidental damage throughout the school year with no deductible and includes multiple damage incidents.

Please note: Students in Kindergarten–2nd grade do not need to purchase the protection plan.
