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.

Due to construction at Hamilton, our main office has been moved to room 156 in the rear of the building. Parents and guardians picking up their students for appointments or bringing students to school late should use the back parking lot and enter the building between the octagon and the gym. If you turn to the right, you'll find a buzzer at the door which you can use to call the office. Once you've been admitted to the building turn right again into the octagon and you'll find room 156, our temporary office location.
Parents of fall athletes,
Your student athlete was given a fundraiser sheet from their coach three weeks ago called Fill my Paw. The they were to have it filled and returned Monday 10/30/24 with $50. We have extended the fundraiser until this Friday October 11th. If your student athlete has already raised $50 and filled their paw, please turn it in. If they want another paw, or have lost their first one , they can request a second one from the main office.
This fundraiser helps provide items such as uniforms, equipment, and other expenses that our sports teams may have.
Thanks for your help and supporting our wildcat fall athletes.
