Pickaway County school districts recently met with local law enforcement and other agencies regarding potential safety concerns surrounding a rare total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Following the guidance of these agencies, Westfall Local School District will be CLOSED on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to our proximity to the total solar eclipse path.
We understand that this change may impact families' scheduling plans; however, our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our students.
