Whitehall-Coplay School District will be closed Dec. 23-Jan. 2, 2023, for winter break. Have a happy and safe holiday with family and friends!

***

Reminder: There is one last holly jolly day at Zephyr Elementary School. Students and staff are invited to wear an ugly Christmas sweater Dec. 22.

***

During parent-teacher conference days, Zephyr Elementary repeated day 2 (day 2 morning and afternoon), which put school days one day behind the other elementary schools.

To stay consistent with the other schools, Zephyr will correct this by returning from winter break, Jan. 3, 2023, on the same day in the cycle as the other buildings - day 3.

The 2022-23 Zephyr yearbooks are now on sale for $25.

WCSD’s educational trip policy is limited to seven school days per year. Any days missed for travel beyond the seven days will be illegal days if the student’s age is 16 or younger.

The family educational trip request form is available in the school office and must be submitted to the office prior to departure.

WCSD prefers all trips be scheduled during the holiday break.
