Effective immediately, WVU Parkersburg will temporarily suspend all face-to-face instruction on the main campus and Jackson County Center for two weeks due to an increase of COVID-19 cases. Today is the last day for students and teachers to be at Caperton. All Caperton Staff and students will meet at the Tech Center starting this Wednesday, October 28th until November 9th. I'll let you know if the date changes. All Caperton Staff need to create work for students to be able to do at the Tech Center. Let me know if you need the computer lab. Tell students to bring IPADS. Please notify all of your students to get on the Tech Center Buses starting Wednesday. Students need to proceed forward in their studies. This will not be a break in attending school for them. They need to come on their designated days. They will be counted absent if they don't come as they would be if they miss class at Caperton.

**SENIORS***There will be an optional meeting for seniors on October 27th and 28th in the auditorium at 9:00 am. The meeting will not run more than two class periods. We estimate finishing by the middle of 3rd period. During this time Rachel Brezler will go over the Community Foundation scholarships and the counselors will go over the senior folders. If you are unable to attend the meeting you can get the folder from your counselor in SSC. We will also be passing out an appointment sign up sheet for senior conferences in Civics/AP Gov. classes this week. Appointments will start next week. If you have any questions you can reach us at 304-420-9595 X130.
