September 7 2026 Community Update

September 7, 2026
Dear Staff and Families,
As we get ready to return to school following the extended weekend, I want to provide a quick update on the work that has continued over the past several days to address the district-wide technology disruption.
I am pleased to report that telephone service has been restored throughout the district. All district and school buildings are once again able to make and receive external telephone calls. This represents an important step forward and restores a critical communication resource for our schools, families, and community.
The Westfield team continues to work alongside external experts to restore additional systems and services in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. As I have shared throughout this process, we will only bring systems back into service when we are confident it is appropriate to do so.
While there is still work ahead, progress continues to be made. We will remain focused on restoring services while supporting the safe and effective operation of our schools.
Thank you for your continued patience, trust, and partnership as we continue this work. I am looking forward to sharing continuous progress updates upon our return to school.
Regards,
Dr. G.
