Good afternoon. According to the WVDHHR map released at 10:00 a.m. today, all students in Wood County Schools, including students in High School, with last names L-Z will resume in-person instruction and learning tomorrow, Tuesday, January 19. More communication will be sent this evening. Enjoy the Holiday.

We are very excited to be welcoming our students back to Emerson. We have a small list of items that we want to make sure everyone has to be successful for the re-entry. Please have the following items: mask, water bottle, green communication folder, charged iPad, and agendas for grades 3-5. Also, make sure you have a plan in place for transportation to and from school. I encourage everyone to utilize buses to help with traffic flow. However, if you are dropping off and picking up students make sure you are following traffic patterns and being patient. If you need to get out of your vehicle or your child needs some extra time- please park and walk your child to the parking lot steps. Our doors will open at 7:40 and the tardy bell will ring at 8:00. Please reference the re-entry plan on the Wood County Public School page for additional information.

Good Evening. This is a reminder that students with last names L-Z will attend school in-person beginning Tuesday, January 19. We will be utilizing a very similar blended learning format as we did 1st semester. However, by our Governor’s Executive Order, High Schools will not be able to return to in-person learning until we reach the orange status on the WVDDHR daily map. To learn more about our re-entry plan and other learning options you may have, please visit our website at www.woodcountyschoolswv.com . Please stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful weekend.

Important information for your incoming pre-k student.

Good evening. On January 19, 2021, students will return to in-person instruction in our schools.  However, I fully understand that some students and families are uncomfortable about returning to school in-person.  To provide more opportunities for our students,  WCS is requesting all students wishing to be instructed in an off-campus learning model, outside of our schools for the second semester, complete the form attached in this correspondence or visit the Wood County Schools website for more information.   Depending on the number of students wishing to be instructed off-campus, we may have the ability to offer families and students different choices rather than just the WV Learns- Virtual School program.  Once again, if you wish for your child to be instructed off-campus second semester, please complete the enrollment form.  The form is due by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2021. Thank you and have a great evening.    Click here to complete the form https://tinyurl.com/y5r337nx

We are having a mini spirit week! Monday is ugly sweater day and Tuesday is PJ day! Post your picture on the school Facebook page! We can't wait to see you!

We've had a few calls that people are having difficulty finding their course information when an update it pushed out. In the app or Web Clip app you will need to select from the menu courses. Then find your desired course.

There is an update available for the iPads. If it didn't automatically update, you should try to update it today. Remember if you have any questions or need help with your iPad you can call to set up an appointment for help.

The internet is currently down at Emerson. MIS is on their way to fix it. Teacher's may need to reschedule Teams Meetings.
