Williamstown Elementary

I am looking for a couple of parents who would like to help supervise 6 fifth grade students while they decorate our two Christmas trees. We would like to decorate on Friday 9:45-10:30. If you would like to volunteer, please email me @lcumpsto@k12.wv.us. You will need to have a background check. Fifth grade parents get first dibs on helping:)

Save the date - Basketball tryouts will be in December!

Just a reminder that spirit wear orders will be sent home this week. If you ordered items as presents and do not want them sent home with your child, please email me @ lcumpsto@k12.wv.us. We will hold them in the office for you to pick up.

Bank day will be November 21, 2024.

Spirit Wear Orders are scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. We will distribute them on Wednesday and Thursday. If you ordered items for presents and do not want them to go home with students, please email me @ lcumpsto@k12.wv.us. and we will hold them in the office.

Reminders: Bank Savings Day Tomorrow Williamstown Bank Trunk or Treat Tonight🎃

Happy Friday! I just wanted to provide some clarification on our water issues yesterday. 1. The boil advisory and the temporary loss of water flow at the school were unrelated events that occurred simultaneously. 2. The lack of water in the building was due to repairs that Culligan Water technicians were making to our water softener system. 3. The boil advisory was related to a water test that was conducted at the apartments near the school. The Williamstown Water Department was not responsible for the lack of water supply at the school yesterday. It was an internal problem (valve shut off). It was resolved in under 30 minutes. All is well today :) The water is running and we have wipes and bottled water until the advisory is lifted. We anticipate that to happen around 10:30. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Water Boil Advisory Update We have running water! Bottled water was purchased today and additional bottles will be delivered tomorrow. We have wipes for the kids to wash their hands. The water will be re-tested at 10:30 AM on Friday. If the water is safe, then the advisory will be lifted. Tomorrow will be a normal school day with added water safety precautions in place. If you choose to keep your child at home tomorrow, it will be an excused absence.

You do not need to call the school and let us know. Just check in the office. Thanks.

We are currently experiencing issues with our water supply. Parts of the building are without water. We are also under a water boil advisory. Emergency water is on the way and we have put wipes out to allow for hand washing. We do not have an estimated time for repairs. If you would like to pick your child up from school, it will be an excused absence. We do have lunch available for the kids. It was prepared prior to the service disruption.
