This message is for students leaving WV Learns Virtual School for this upcoming semester. Due to technical issues and report cards we will not be able to get your new schedule until Tuesday January 26th. Your student's school counselor will contact you on that day with all the details of your student's new schedule.
This message is for students returning to traditional school or remote learning from WV Learns Virtual School. The new semester starts next Monday Jan 25th. Your student's counselor will be in contact with you this week to work on your student's new schedule that will begin a week from today.
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. More communication will be sent this evening. Enjoy the Holiday.
Good afternoon. This message is only for High Schools. Due to Monday being a holiday, we will wait until 10:00 a.m. on Monday, January 18 to review the WVDHHR map to find out the status of instruction in our High Schools for the upcoming week. If we are "Red" on the map, we will be in remote learning for the entire week. If we are "Orange", students with last names L-Z will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, January 19. I will send out more communication tomorrow regarding Tuesday's re-entry for all students. Stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful holiday.
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.
I would like to personally thank and give a shout out to all of the Wood County Schools staff, nurses, and PHS staff that helped out with the Vaccinations the last two weeks. It’s a major undertaking and it went very smooth. Thank you to all those involved!
Kenny DeMoss Principal PHS

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.

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.
Please visit the Wood County Schools website for more information related to our re-entry on January 19, 2021, or click on the following two links - https://5il.co/o8fs https://5il.co/o8fr
Please stay safe and healthy
Have a Happy New Year!

2020 has been one for the ages. With all the negativity that surrounds this past year, focus on the thoughts of the ones we have, the memories of the ones we’ve lost, and the love and support that surrounds you. Let’s make 2021 our best year! On behalf of the staff at PHS, we want to wish you a Safe and Happy Holiday!
The attached episode of WPHS was filmed by our mass communications students during full remote instruction. Happy holidays from Mass Comm and Parkersburg High School!

PROMISE Scholarship Information
The WV Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) would like to clarify two misconceptions regarding the 2021 PROMISE Scholarship application for the class of 2021.
Students must submit both the PROMISE Scholarship Application and 2021-2022 FAFSA by March 1, 2021. The HEPC will not be implementing the new WVSAM system for the 2021 PROMISE application year. Schools should not wait to utilize the new WVSAM system before they ask students to submit the 2021 PROMISE application. Current PROMISE applicant numbers are drastically down so please encourage all 2021 graduating seniors to submit the PROMISE Scholarship application at cfwv.com/promise and FAFSA at fafsa.gov as soon as possible. Submissions should be received no later than March 1, 2021.
Class of 2021 seniors should submit the 2021 PROMISE Scholarship application whether they currently have a qualifying ACT/SAT test score or not. 2021 applicants have until August 2021 to meet the ACT/SAT test score requirement. All applicants must meet the March 1, 2021, deadline to be guaranteed an award for fall 2021. Students should NOT wait to submit the application until an eligible ACT/SAT test score is achieved.
If you have questions or need assistance with the PROMISE application or FAFSA, please contact the HEPC office at promise@wvhepc.edu or 304-558-4618.
Current high school seniors who fill out a PROMISE Scholarship application and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be enrolled in a contest, “Cool Cash for College." Seniors who complete both of these steps by March 1, 2021, will be entered into drawings for prizes that include Apple AirPods, wireless printers, mini refrigerators, and gift cards.
Check out the updated Counseling Center Bulletin. Lots of new scholarship opportunities! https://www.woodcountyschoolswv.org/o/ph/page/counseling-center-bulletin
Parents here is a YouTube tutorial video with step by step instructions for parents to log in to Schoology to check your students grades and progress. When in remote learning, due to Covid-19, students are expected to attend class virtually following the bell schedule. The bell schedule has been posted multiple times on our Live Feed and our Facebook page. I hope this helps. Please give us a call if you have any questions at 304-420-9595. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
