Wood County Schools' open enrollment process will change for the 2024-2025 school year. All open enrollment requests are to be made beginning January 16th on our website at woodcountyschoolswv.com/enrollment. The enrollment is also available on the WCS app. If your child currently attends a school out of district, or you would like for your child to attend a school out of district, you will need to complete an online application. Although the form is simple to complete, if you feel you may need some assistance with the application process, or you do not have access to the internet or have a device, all secretaries at our schools have an iPad and will be able to assist you. If you child attends the school that corresponds to your home address, and you wish for this to continue, there is no action needed on your part.

Wood County Schools values your family's educational choices and is committed to providing options that suit your needs. We encourage you to explore the possibilities and make the best choice for your child through our open enrollment program. Open enrollment begins on Tuesday, January 16th.

*Student Test Scores* In spring 2023, students in Grades 3 through 8 took the General Summative Assessment and students in Grade 11 took the SAT School Day assessment. On Tuesday, September 12, students will receive a printed copy of their individual student score report which will contain information regarding each student's performance on the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their child's performance on the WVGSA or the SAT School Day, the West Virginia Department of Education is providing an individual video score report for each student in addition to the printed report.. A link to your child's individual video score report will be sent to your child's K12 student email address on September 12th. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. When you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your child's date of birth to access the video report. Resources are also available at that site to help your student. If you need assistance in locating the video score report link, or if you do not know your child's K12 email address or password, you may contact your child's school, or contact Cathy Grewe at the Wood County Schools Board Office at 304-420-9663 Extension 122.
