Welcome to Westville Schools...Home of the Blackhawks!

The school community of Westville is a place where families choose to send their students.

Staff members are empowered to teach and all students and staff are accepted and celebrated.

Students are encouraged to become complex thinkers, caring individuals, and community contributors within a safe, well-maintained environment that is conducive to learning.

This is what we believe at MSD of New Durham Township, and it is this vision that drives our focus and establishes the foundation of our learning community every single day.  We strive to create a positive, caring, and supportive learning environment for all within the walls of our school, and we hope that the spirit of that environment follows our students as they pass through our doors into the world.  

Welcome to Westville Schools!

2026-2027 District Calendar

The Westville School Board has officially approved the 2026–2027 Academic Calendar.
The calendar was developed with a continued focus on maximizing instructional time for students while balancing professional development, family needs, and potential weather-related considerations. As always, in-person learning remains our priority, with flexibility built in to address unforeseen circumstances.
Families and staff are encouraged to review the full calendar to note:

  • First and last days of school

  • Scheduled breaks and holidays

  • Professional development days

  • Inclement weather make-up considerations

The approved 2026–2027 Academic Calendar is now available on the district website for planning purposes.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we plan for another successful school year at Westville Schools.
