Mr. Morgan
Bus 146 has broke down. Transportation is in the process of sending a new bus. Students who ride this bus who have not been picked up yet, the bus will be coming but will be late.
Wood County Schools has made a change regarding the caller ID number for all mass calls and texts in which we want you to be aware. Previously, all mass calls made from Wood County Schools, used for emergencies or other important information, whether from the central office or from any individual school, used the number (304) 420-9520 for the caller ID. Starting today, all school mass calls will show a caller ID number that is the same as the school's main telephone number. District calls will continue to show a caller ID of (304) 420-9520. The caller ID number for any individual school may be verified by visiting the school's webpage and finding the phone number in the footer of the page.
One Chip Challenge
Students are not allowed to bring Paqui (One Chip Challenge) Chips to school. We have had several students who have brought these and shared them with other students causing harm to those students. Any student who brings these to school will have discipline consequences.

Dear Blennerhassett Middle School Parents/Guardians,
This letter is to inform you that there will be a Service Dog working at Blennerhassett Middle School. The Service Dog is a Goldendoodle and is hypoallergenic. The dog will be mainly in one classroom during the day. Students will have limited interactions with the service dog. The Service Dog has been trained and certified in Service Work for the individual.
If you want to understand more about Service Dogs, please refer to US Department of Justice online, Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights Section or go to www.ADA.gov. There are also several videos explaining Service Dogs. A good place to start is YouTube: AKC Public Access Testing and/or AKC Urban Public Access Testing Requirements.
If you have any questions, please contact the school at 304-863-3356.
Students will receive the actual letter to bring home today.
Yearbooks are in from last year. If your child was an 8th grader last year you can stop by Blennerhassett Middle between 8:00am and 3:30pm to pick up their yearbook or we will send them to Parkersburg South next Thursday.
We have extra yearbooks for sale as well.

Wood County Schools is again offering a damage waiver program for student iPads. The program allows families to pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the school year which reduces the cost of repair and replacement of the iPad of those enrolled. Families can buy in one student for $30 or pay $60 for a family plan, which includes 2 or more students. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and did NOT have a claim, that payment is rolled over into this year and the family is automatically enrolled again. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and DID have a claim, they can buy back in to the program by filling out and paying for a new damage waiver. The program does require a student ID number. Contact your child’s school if you do not know their student ID number. Visit our payment portal to purchase. https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/payment
