Students who ride Bus 204 in the Afternoon The Transportation Department notified us that a tractor trailer is blocking part of the route and the bus will not be able to get through to drop students off this afternoon.

Good afternoon. According to the WVDHHR map released at 10:00 a.m. today, all students in Wood County Schools, including students in High School, with last names L-Z will resume in-person instruction and learning tomorrow, Tuesday, January 19.

Good Evening. This is a reminder that students with last names L-Z will attend school in-person beginning Tuesday, January 19. We will be utilizing a very similar blended learning format as we did 1st semester. However, by our Governor’s Executive Order, High Schools will not be able to return to in-person learning until we reach the orange status on the WVDDHR daily map. To learn more about our re-entry plan and other learning options you may have, please visit our website at www.woodcountyschoolswv.com . Please stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful weekend.

Good evening. On January 19, 2021, students will return to in-person instruction in our schools.  However, I fully understand that some students and families are uncomfortable about returning to school in-person.  To provide more opportunities for our students,  WCS is requesting all students wishing to be instructed in an off-campus learning model, outside of our schools for the second semester, complete the form attached in this correspondence or visit the Wood County Schools website for more information.   Depending on the number of students wishing to be instructed off-campus, we may have the ability to offer families and students different choices rather than just the WV Learns- Virtual School program.  Once again, if you wish for your child to be instructed off-campus second semester, please complete the enrollment form.  The form is due by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2021. Thank you and have a great evening.    Click here to complete the form https://tinyurl.com/y5r337nx

Good Evening, Today, Governor Justice announced that school districts in WV will be in remote learning until January 15, 2021. Beginning January 19, students in grades pre-K through 8th will be instructed in our schools through in-person learning regardless of the color on the WVDHHR map. High Schools will still be governed by the WVDHHR map, but local decisions will be made for in-person learning based on the color of the map. If your child is utilizing WV Virtual School for instruction, nothing will change for the next few weeks.

Teachers will follow this schedule and have TEAMS meetings the same as Full Remote Instruction Days. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school.

Good Evening! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Just a reminder that Monday - Thursday this week (Nov 30- Dec 5) are full remote learning days. Teachers will have TEAMS meetings and students should follow their schedule. We understand that not everyone can access TEAMS due to internet capabilities. If your child cannot access TEAMS, please have them message their teachers and complete the assignments on Schoology. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school. We hope to see everyone soon! Stay safe Bobcats!

Wood County Schools: Good morning. Please click the following link to view the instructional plan for the next two (2) weeks beginning November 23. https://5il.co/n906 . This is also a reminder that November 23-November 25 are Non Traditional Instructional Days (NTID), in which teachers will have assignments pre-loaded into Schoology by 9:00 a.m. for students to complete. Also, I have made the decision to make December 3rd a "Full Remote Instructional Day". If there is a significant drop in our infection and positivity rates, our plan is to bring all Elementary students back beginning December 7th for 4 days of in-person learning. We will closely monitor many data points before a decision is made. Ultimately, if the WVDE Saturday map has Wood County as Red or Orange, we will continue Full Remote Instruction. Please stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving
