Fairplains Elementary

Wood County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, January 22, 2024.

Parents, this is a reminder for morning drop-off routine. If your child is ready and able to quickly exit the vehicle and walk into the school, you may pull into the "No Parking Zone" in front of the building. If your child requires help or assistance walking into the building, you must pull down beyond the crosswalk or across the street so you can park and help your child without backing up traffic. I appreciate your help!

Wood County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 19, 2024 due to inclement weather.

Due to icy road conditions and frigid temperatures, Wood County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

Open enrollment starts today. Complete the form at woodcountyschoolswv.com/enrollment. Need some assistance or do not have access to the form? Visit your school office. The central office, at 1210 13th St. in Parkersburg, is another option for assistance with completing the form.

Open Enrollment begins at noon today (Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024). If you would like your child to attend a school outside of your current attendance zone, you must complete the online enrollment form. The link opens at noon today.

PreK parents, during morning drop-off, you must pull down past the cross walk or across the street to bring your child to the doors. We cannot back up traffic and buses with cars stopping in front of the schools. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wood County Schools' open enrollment process will change for the 2024-2025 school year. All open enrollment requests are to be made beginning on January 16 at noon 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 a device or the internet, all secretaries at our schools have an iPad and can assist you beginning at noon on Tuesday, January 16. 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.
