Students have received an email in their Wood County Schools student email account containing a personalized link to access their GSA score reports. Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with their child to retrieve the email and review the results together.
The score report provides detailed information about your child's performance and can help identify academic strengths as well as areas for continued growth.
If your child cannot locate the email or is experiencing difficulty accessing their score report, please contact your child's school for assistance.
We encourage all families to review these results and discuss them with their child as part of supporting continued academic success.
Please do not enter the staff entrance on Lake Washington Road. We cannot allow some parents to come in this entrance in the mornings and park to let their child off, while everyone else must wait in line. We understand that the drop off line can be long, but we have to have traffic patterns and rules for everyone's safety. We also ask that everyone speak respectfully with staff; they are only trying to enforce the rules and do their jobs. Thank you.

I understand the lack of parking that our school has and how difficult it can be to find a space for drop off in the mornings. However, please do not double park along the road that goes back behind the school. It is a safety issue and teachers are not able to get into their parking spaces behind the building. You can still line up along that road, but please do it in a single file line ONLY along the fence. Thanks!
Next week we will honor Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Week. Please see the attached flier for the different spirit days. Of course this is optional, but we did try to select themes where no one will feel like they need to go buy anything special.
Also, on March 19th and 20th, we will be participating in the Wood County Society's hat day/pajama day. It costs $1 to participate and we will send all the money to the Wood County Society. The Wood County Society supports youth and adults with developmental differences. This is a great cause for us to support. PreK will participate on Thursday, the 19th and K-5 on Friday, the 20th. Thank you!
Each year the WV Department of Education conducts parent surveys for the school that their child attends. The survey is short and should only last about 10 minutes. Please take some time and complete this survey so we can receive some feedback. We need at least 20 parents to complete the survey for it to count. You may need to copy and paste the below link into a new tab to complete the survey. Thank you!
