Wood County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, January 14th, due to refreezing roadway conditions and low temperatures.
Correction: The January 13 edition of the *Parkersburg News & Sentinel* incorrectly stated that Wood County Schools would be adding an additional 30 minutes to the school day in relation to "equivalency time" for days missed due to inclement weather. In fact, Wood County Schools already incorporates 30 extra minutes into its regular school day, which can be used to account for missed instructional time. To be clear, Wood County Schools will not be adding 30 minutes to the end of any school day.
Wood County Schools will be on a two-hour delay on Monday, January 13. Please stayed tuned for updates.
Wood County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 10th due to secondary road conditions and single digit morning temperatures.
Due to the additional snow expected for Friday and Saturday, DERC doesn't know if they will be able to have their roads cleared. I am making the decision to PUSH the party to Friday, February 7th 6-10pm. This is the first Friday/Saturday they have available. If you have already paid and can't make this new date, let me know and I will get your money back to you.
Wood County Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, due to hazardous roadway conditions and ongoing inclement weather, prioritizing the safety of our students and staff.
For the safety of our students and staff, Wood County Schools will remain closed on Tuesday, January 7th, due to ongoing inclement weather. Stay safe and warm!
