Due to an increase in flu and other respiratory illnesses in our area, we are seeing a rise in student absences and illness in our schools. All schools are increasing cleaning of high‑touch surfaces and are encouraging frequent handwashing throughout the school day.
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing symptoms of any illness that would prevent them from participating fully in normal school activities. Contact your school nurse for guidance.
Thank you for your partnership in helping us keep our schools healthy and safe places for students to learn.

Due to inclement weather conditions, including snow and ice on roadways, particularly on less-traveled back roads, and ongoing safety concerns with parking lots, Wood County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26.

This decision was made with the safety of our students, families, and staff as our highest priority. Difficult travel conditions and icy surfaces create unsafe conditions for buses, drivers, and pedestrians, and we believe closure is the most responsible course of action.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage families to continue monitoring district communications for any additional updates.
