Greetings parents and guardians: While working through a glitch in our all-call system, Wood County Schools realized that our morning, elementary school attendance calls to parents informing of a student absence did not go out. We want you to know that this occurred and that the problem has been corrected. Absence calls will continue as normal on Monday.

This is an important message for all Blennerhassett Elementary students and staff. We are very pleased to bring health and wellness services to your school via a partnership with Coplin Health Systems through telehealth access during the school day. Students and staff can be seen and treated for minor illnesses and conditions by a licensed health care provider with minimal disruption for families from school and work. Anyone who is interested in receiving health and wellness services must complete a registration and consent. You can use the QR code below, or request a paper consent. All services will be coordinated through Nurse Sabrina.

Congratulations Eli Casto! He scored first place in engineering at the regional science fair and will move on the state fair in March!
