Wood County Schools has made a change regarding the caller ID number for all mass calls and texts in which we want you to be aware. Previously, all mass calls made from Wood County Schools, used for emergencies or other important information, whether from the central office or from any individual school, used the number (304) 420-9520 for the caller ID. Starting today, all school mass calls will show a caller ID number that is the same as the school's main telephone number. District calls will continue to show a caller ID of (304) 420-9520. The caller ID number for any individual school may be verified by visiting the school's webpage and finding the phone number in the footer of the page.

❤️🏈💙 Our Bobcats sported their blue today at school for the big game.
Mrs.McDonald and Mr. Blanc’s 4th grade classes had a fun lesson on Idioms this week! They learned that an idiom is a word expression in which the meaning is figurative, not literal. For example: The game had me on pins and needles…..just means I was anxious about the game, not that I was literally on pins and needles.These classes were given an assignment to choose their favorite idiom and they had to dress up like or act it out.They did an awesome job with this assignment and had a great time with it too.Even our teachers and administrators got involved! Here were just a few from the day.See if you can guess what each one is.

Wood County Schools is again offering a damage waiver program for student iPads. The program allows families to pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the school year which reduces the cost of repair and replacement of the iPad of those enrolled. Families can buy in one student for $30 or pay $60 for a family plan, which includes 2 or more students. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and did NOT have a claim, that payment is rolled over into this year and the family is automatically enrolled again. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and DID have a claim, they can buy back in to the program by filling out and paying for a new damage waiver. The program does require a student ID number. Contact your child’s school if you do not know their student ID number. Visit our payment portal to purchase. https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/payment

Wood County Schools will be canceling TREK this week due to staffing issues. Therefore, buses will not transport students that attend Franklin Elementary for TREK grades 3-5. Franklin Elementary students will report as normal. We apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to resuming TREK next week. Have a great evening!
Wood County Schools' internet provider has a fiber line down between Charleston and Parkersburg. Their crews are on site and there is no ETA on when the line will be repaired. With that being said, there is a possibility that the internet may be out tomorrow at all WCS locations if the line is not repaired in time. Details will be shared as soon as we get them.
