Dear Blennerhassett Middle School Parents/Guardians,
This letter is to inform you that there will be a Service Dog working at Blennerhassett Middle School. The Service Dog is a Goldendoodle and is hypoallergenic. The dog will be mainly in one classroom during the day. Students will have limited interactions with the service dog. The Service Dog has been trained and certified in Service Work for the individual.
If you want to understand more about Service Dogs, please refer to US Department of Justice online, Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights Section or go to www.ADA.gov. There are also several videos explaining Service Dogs. A good place to start is YouTube: AKC Public Access Testing and/or AKC Urban Public Access Testing Requirements.
If you have any questions, please contact the school at 304-863-3356.
Students will receive the actual letter to bring home today.
Yearbooks are in from last year. If your child was an 8th grader last year you can stop by Blennerhassett Middle between 8:00am and 3:30pm to pick up their yearbook or we will send them to Parkersburg South next Thursday.
We have extra yearbooks for sale as well.
$25 for a soft cover
$30 for a hard cover

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' 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.
Good Evening, This is Mrs. Arthur, Principal at Blennerhassett Middle School. Our AC unit stopped working on Thursday and the maintenance department has been working to get replacement parts. The parts have been located and will be delivered and ready for install by Tuesday. Our goal is to have the AC unit fully functional by Wednesday. Please send water bottles to school with your students this week. We have several water bottle filling stations throughout the building. Students are encouraged to dress for warmer weather while still following our dress code policy. Blennerhassett Elementary is NOT affected by our AC unit and have fully functioning air. Thank you for your understanding.
