Please see information in the attached flyer regarding the Summer Nutrition Program for Wood County Schools.
Wood County Schools is pleased to provide families with access to their students' 2026 West Virginia General Summative Assessment (GSA) results.
Students have received an email in their Wood County Schools student email account containing a personalized link to access their GSA score reports. Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with their child to retrieve the email and review the results together.
The score report provides detailed information about your child's performance and can help identify academic strengths as well as areas for continued growth.
If your child cannot locate the email or is experiencing difficulty accessing their score report, please contact your child's school for assistance.
We encourage all families to review these results and discuss them with their child as part of supporting continued academic success.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to make you aware that Wood County Schools has been notified of a planned power outage that will affect Parkersburg South High School, Wood County Technical Center, and Franklin Elementary Center. Unfortunately, this outage was communicated to us with very little advance notice.
The power is expected to go off within the next 30 minutes and may remain out until approximately 1:30 PM. Please be assured that our staff are prepared to continue the school day with minimal disruption. Lunch will be served as scheduled, and instruction will continue as our teachers adapt their lessons accordingly.
The safety and well-being of our students remains our top priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. We will provide an update once power has been restored.

Friday, May 15, 2026, students will be creating their tie-dye shirts for Field Day during their specials classes! This is a fun way to kick off the last few weeks of school and get excited for Field Day festivities.
Please make sure your child wears old clothes or brings a change of clothes, as the dye may stain and we will not be able to provide extra clothing for everyone.
We’re looking forward to a colorful and fun-filled day for our students!

🦅 Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is May 4–8, and at Franklin, we’re celebrating ALL of the amazing people who help our students SOAR each day! From classrooms to cafeteria to custodians to admin staff—every staff member plays an important role in your child’s education.
We’ve attached staff “favorites” lists to help families who would like to show appreciation in a personal way and let our teachers and staff know how much they mean. A kind note, a small gesture, or a heartfelt thank you can go a long way! (If the link doesn't work, please let us know and we will try again.)
At Franklin, we believe together we SOAR! 🦅💙💛 Help us make this a fun and uplifting week for the incredible staff who support our students every day.
