Wood County Schools employs technology as a means of engaging with parents, guardians, staff members, and the wider community. Periodically, we utilize calls and text messages for the purpose of ensuring that everyone stays well-informed, especially when it comes to crucial information and emergency updates.

For calls originating from the central office, the caller ID will display the number (304) 420-9520. Text messages will come from the number 98900. If a call is made from a specific school, the caller ID will reflect the school's primary telephone number. You can readily confirm the school's numbers for accuracy.

Regrettably, errors can occur. While we make every effort to input student information with precision, there may be occasions when a number is mistakenly entered into a student record, or you may have recently acquired a phone number that was previously associated with a parent of a student in Wood County Schools.

Our objective is to ensure you are well-informed, particularly during emergencies. However, we recognize that calls or texts may not always be suitable for your preferences. You have the option to unsubscribe from any or all of the following: phone calls, texts, and emails, at any time.

Did you previously ask Wood County Schools to opt you out but would like to opt back into calls, texts, or emails?

Did you opt out of text messages directly from the message received from Wood County Schools? You can opt back in by sending a text with the word START to short code number 98900.
