West Hills Middle School

The Bloomfield Hills Schools COVID Pre-Screen has been updated to now include a self-reporting tool for possible, probable, and confirmed cases of COVID-19.

In addition, families can report a student absence via the form and we encourage families to use the form for absence reporting in lieu of the attendance hotlines at each individual school.

Please continue to visit www.bloomfield.org/pre-screen each morning to complete the COVID-19 pre-screen.

Families should contact their child's school building with questions regarding the daily pre-screen tool, reporting an absence, or reporting a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19.

Staff, please contact your immediate supervisor with questions.

Thank you for your participation in this important district safety measure!

Help tackle food insecurity and warmth in Oakland County. This year due to COVID-19, Make a Difference Day will look a bit different than in years past. In an effort to keep our communities safe and comfortable, we will offer various ways that you and your family can get involved:

• Purchase a blank yard sign to keep families warm
• Make a donation directly toward food or cleaning supplies
• Volunteer for in-person community service hours

Hours are done in outdoor food loading, socially distant garden project and contactless porch food drop offs for all ages supporting Michah 6 Community in Pontiac and MyCovidResponse.org for Oakland County.

Beginning October 12 through December 30, 2020, Oakland County is offering a telephone screening resource to assist parents/guardians through the pre-screening process and to help identify potential illness in children prior to entering school. All screenings are conducted by healthcare professionals.

Hotline staff can help answer questions about COVID-19 symptoms, the need for testing, and what is considered high-risk.

• Cost: No cost for parents/guardians of Oakland County school-aged children
• Days: Monday through Friday
• Times: 5 a.m. to 8 a.m.
• Number: 248-551-4242

As a reminder, please be sure your child’s mask follows the Bloomfield Hills Schools mask guidelines. Face masks can be either reusable or disposable. They should fit tightly over your entire nose and mouth. Masks must have school-appropriate graphics. Masks should NOT have valves. Masks with valves are not permitted in Bloomfield Hills Schools. Students and staff are welcome to wear face shields brought from home, but they are not required. They may be worn in addition to a face mask. Neck gaiters and bandannas are not sufficient face coverings. They may be worn in addition to a face mask. Neck gaiters must have school-appropriate graphics.

On October 12 & October 30, Bloomfield Hills Schools will have a half day of school. The October half days will be remote/virtual for all DHH (pre-K-12), PREP, and K-12 students regardless of their learning setting (hybrid, remote, and Bloomfield Virtual).
