Good evening,
This is a reminder that there will be a meeting tomorrow evening for 8th grade parents about scheduling for high school. PHS counselors will be here at Jackson in the cafeteria for a 6pm meeting.
Have a great evening! Go Generals!
This is a reminder that the 8th grade formal will be at Grand Pointe Thursday the 6th from 7-9 pm. Light appetizers and drinks will be available. Students need to have their tickets for entry and for raffle prizes. Students are expected to behave respectfully and have a great time!
Good evening 8th grade parents, students, and staff.
This is Mr. Kisner with a quick message to all 8th grade parents. Today, a counselor from Parkersburg High School came to talk to all 8th graders. Beginning tomorrow, each student will sit down with a PHS counselor and work on a high school schedule for next year. Please note, this schedule can change before the beginning of the school year. Your student will be bringing information home that would be important for you to sit down and talk with them about.
I would also like to invite all 8th grade parents to a scheduling information meeting next Monday evening, April 10, here in the Jackson cafeteria at 6 p.m. At this meeting, high school counselors will be present to give you all information and answer questions concerning 9th grade scheduling.
I hope you have a fantastic evening! Go Generals!
Tickets for the 8th grade formal will be for sale until Friday, March 31st. The cost is $10 per ticket. Tickets are pre-sale only. The event is on Thursday, April 6th from 7-9 at Grand Pointe Conference Center in Vienna.

Good evening, Jackson parents, students, and staff.
This first announcement is for 8th grade students and parents. This Wednesday, March 8, all 8th grade students in the state will take the WV Golden Horseshoe test. This is a requirement for all 8th grade students and if your child would miss this day, they will need to test later. Therefore, it is best for all students to be there on Wednesday morning. It is important for 8th graders to arrive on time and ready to take this online exam.
I also want to mention that the Dental Clinic will be this Wednesday, March 8, as well. This date had to be moved back one day. If you have signed up for this clinic, please make sure you have the paperwork turned in or with your child on Wednesday.
Have a great evening and Go Generals!
Greetings parents and guardians: While working through a glitch in our all-call system, Wood County Schools realized that our morning, elementary school attendance calls to parents informing of a student absence did not go out. We want you to know that this occurred and that the problem has been corrected. Absence calls will continue as normal on Monday.
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff!
This is Mr. Kisner with a brief announcement concerning the MOVHD Mobile Dental Clinic that will be available to our students on March 7 and March 9. If you would be interested in your child to participate in the clinic, please call the school at 304-420-9551 in order to make an appointment with the nurse. All insurances will be billed, however no student will be turned down for inability to pay.
I would also like to let parents know that WCS is putting together some meal kits for families for over spring break. If you would like to order a kit, please call the school at 304-420-9551 and you will be transferred to our cafeteria manager. If you order a kit, you will need to pick that kit up at the school on March 17th, no refrigeration will be needed.
We hope you have a great evening and Go Generals!!
Attention 8th grade parents! There will be an informational meeting this Thursday, 2/23, concerning 8th grade formal in the cafeteria at 5:30pm. Please enter the building through the cafeteria doors.
Attention all 8th grade parents!
7th grade students in the Maker’s club "adopted" a child from a local daycare "Olivia and Friends" in Vienna. They received a picture of their child and a small bio. They were challenged to design an innovative Valentine box for their upcoming party. The children they adopted are all 4 years old and younger. Designs had to have an entry, exit, and represent their child's interests in some fashion. We will be having a live Teams Meeting where the club members will be able to see their child receive their box on Monday after school. Students did a great job in their creations!
