Good afternoon, this is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Wood County Schools.
Blennerhassett Middle School will be closed Friday, Sept. 3, due to a surge in cases of Covid-19 among students. Officials will be working on contact tracing this evening and tomorrow to inform families of students who must quarantine.
Contact tracing is an intensive and time-consuming process, so we ask for patience and cooperation from our school family during this time.
All schools will be closed Monday, Sept. 6 for Labor Day. Wood County Schools will update parents on the status of classes at Blennerhassett Middle School prior to the start of the new school week.
Mrs. Arthur, Principal of Blennerhassett Middle School will contact parents and guardians concerning instruction options during the temporary closure later this evening.
We apologize for this inconvenience. Wood County Schools is doing everything it can to provide a safe learning environment for our students and to return them to in-person instruction as quickly as possible.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
