Dear West G Families:

The tornado that hit our community this week resulted in major unwelcome challenges for our residents. Many households are still without power.

At this point, West Geauga High School, West Geauga Middle School, and Lindsey Elementary School remain dark. Westwood's electricity was restored yesterday.

We have received no indication of when power will be restored to our buildings. Because of that, we are postponing events that were planned for Monday, August 12 at the middle school. MS Principal, Meagan Bellan, will provide specific information to middle school families in a separate email today.

We hope to have student schedules and bus assignments posted on Infinite Campus by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 14. Hopefully, we can hold to our plan to reopen schools to students on Tuesday, August 20. We will know more once power is restored and we can assess the situation more fully. Thank you for your patience as we address the challenges posed by the storm.

Sincerely,

Rich Markwardt, Ph.D

Superintendent
