The West Virginia Department of Education has asked school systems to survey our families for those interested in receiving COVID-19 vaccinations for their students 12 years old or older as well as immediate family members. Please click the following link if your family is interested in participating. https://forms.office.com/r/WhNUycrKju
We are once again out of donated bottled water for students. Students are asked to bring a refillable water bottle to school to use throughout the day. They can keep these bottles in their lockers to get drinks as needed. We also have some refillable water bottles that we can provide students. Each student can only have one so if they have already received one they cannot get another. Please contact the school with questions.
As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to take a moment to personally say ‘Thank You’ to all of Wood County Schools’ selfless and dedicated educators.
This has been one of the most challenging school years in recent history. Our teachers have not only endured nearly impossible tasks but have risen to the challenge and have continued to place our students first. Our teachers and personnel have dedicated countless hours keeping students engaged, providing support and care to families, and giving our children a beacon of normalcy in an often turbulent and uncertain world. The work you do each day is more appreciated than you will ever know.
Wood County Schools is blessed to have so many caring and dedicated teachers, and I want all of you to know: We see what you are doing and what you have done, and we are thankful you are here.
Thank you for making a difference!

Students need to bring a mask with them to school everyday. We have provided reusable masks to all of our students. We currently do not have anymore disposable masks to give to students.
Students should also bring a water bottle or cup with them to school. Our Boosters purchased Vandy water bottles for the students but they only get one due to limited supply. We have run out of bottled water for students so it is important that they bring a water bottle or cup with them in order to stay hydrated. Students may be asked to keep the bottles or cups in their lockers in order to prevent water spills throughout the school.
The 8th Grade PHS Scheduling Presentation for parents will be in the gymnasium at 5:00pm tonight April 13, 2021. Please enter the doors by the parking lot to enter the gymnasium.

Just a reminder, picture retake day, and also picture day for virtual/distance students is on Thursday. They will be ready to start pictures at 8:30 am.
