Good Afternoon Westhope,
With water pressure restored Westhope School will resume classes at normal time tomorrow. Please note that the current water from the tap is not suitable for drinking until further notice. However, we do have a full supply of RO water in our system to provide drinking water for all students and staff until the repair is completed. We will also provide bottled water if needed. Thanks again for your patience and flexibility as we have navigated this challenge.
Good Morning Westhope, Unfortunately we couldn't get our water system pressurized this morning. We will be releasing our students at 10:30 am today. Buses will leave the school at 10:35 am. Thank you for your understanding as we work through this challenge. I also want to give a shout out to our City Team and contractors for their hard work to try and fix the problem this am. They will have us up and going as soon as possible.
Please stay safe and warm today.
This is a community Public Service Announcement. The City of Westhope is working on a water main break in town and has asked all citizens to help conserve water at this time. If this impacts school running tomorrow we will send out an announcement in the morning.
Thank You

Good Morning,
Westhope School will run at normal time today. Road conditions have improved from last night but are still seasonal. We would like to ask parents to remind their HS age drivers to take extra time and precautions when driving in today and for all parents to be prepared for a possible early out if conditions get worse this afternoon. We will watch the weather all day and stay ahead of it for our students and staff safety. Any activities decisions will be send out later today if needed.

Recently the North Dakota Department of Game and Fish provided students with the chance to design their own “Earth Day Patch 2022”. The students were provided with a template and instructions. They were limited to 4 colors, and it needed to represent North Dakota and Earth Day. This week Westhope 2nd grade students Zaven Efimenko and Braysen Grann were given a patch that was ultimately chosen but their artwork was considered. Soon (12 May) you will see the second grade and sixth-grade students from the elementary school out in our community as they work on the beautification of our community…aka trash pick-up day! Finally, our winter is winding down and the trash is exposed so be on the lookout as they pick it up, bag it, and get it out of the community. Always remember that every day is Earth Day!
