Attention WMHS soccer families...


8th Grade Parent Meeting to discuss 9 grade scheduling. Please contact Mrs. Sturm if your unable to attend to schedule individual appointments.


We have been seeing an uptick in Influenza A illness. At school, we are encouraging our students to wash their hands frequently and are cleaning common surfaces and areas with extra care and time.
If your child becomes sick at home with flu-like symptoms, please consult with your health care provider. Keep them home from school until fever-free for 24 hours without over-the-counter medication and until they are able to resume normal activities. This will help us to stop the spread of the virus. Please let Nurse Danielle know if your child is sick and you are keeping them at home.
Thank you for everything you do to help us keep our school a safe and healthy place to learn.

Good morning! Our issue with some students not appearing for families in the Rooms section of the Wood County Schools app has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.


Congratulations to the winners of the DASH award this week! Middle school teachers selected Luke Seago (6th), Dominic Robison (7th), and Aftyn Ferraris (8th) as the latest recipients of this award, which recognizes students for their character and hard work.
