This afternoon Wood County School officials were made aware of a rumor of a student with a weapon at Jackson Middle School. Authorities were contacted, the claims were investigated and were found to not be credible.
Wood County Schools takes all such reports seriously and works with area law enforcement to investigate any and all concerns.
Good afternoon Jackson parents, students, and staff,
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! I also want to remind all students that next week we will be taking the Reading Diagnostic. Please make sure student IPads are charged daily and students are ready to do their very best to show their growth so far this year. Students need to arrive on time, have a good night's sleep, and are ready to take the diagnostic! Our students will take this diagnostic over a couple days in small chunks during their assigned English class! Thank you and have a great evening! Go Generals!
Notice: Wood County Schools will be closed, CODE C, on Friday, December 23, 2022.

Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is our first day of Spirit Week! Please look at the attached spirit week flyer for each day’s theme. Tomorrow is Halloween Costume day! Please remember that your costume should be school appropriate according to dress code, and we need to be able to see students’ faces to identify them. Students may wear hats and other accessories, but you cannot carry items with you throughout the day. We hope everyone has a great time!
This is a final reminder that we will be having Trunk or Treat on Saturday from 6-8 pm on the football field weather permitting! Please come out and join us! If it is raining, we will be in the gym for this event! Have a great evening and Go Generals!
The end of the nine weeks is this Friday! Our PBIS award is a dance, you cannot have more than 2 unexcused absences, 3 minor referrals, or 1 major referral! Please make sure all excuses are in for absences by Friday, Oct 21. Thank you!
Wood County Schools has made a change regarding the caller ID number for all mass calls and texts in which we want you to be aware. Previously, all mass calls made from Wood County Schools, used for emergencies or other important information, whether from the central office or from any individual school, used the number (304) 420-9520 for the caller ID. Starting today, all school mass calls will show a caller ID number that is the same as the school's main telephone number. District calls will continue to show a caller ID of (304) 420-9520. The caller ID number for any individual school may be verified by visiting the school's webpage and finding the phone number in the footer of the page.
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff.
This is Mr. Kisner with a few announcements for this week. First, picture retakes and fall sports pictures will be this Thursday, Oct. 20. If you want to have a retake or need a packet, those items are on the table in front of the office!
I also want to mention that Fall Spirit Week will begin this Friday with costumes; more info on this will follow. Please make sure costumes do not have items that would be considered a weapon, students should not wear masks so they may be identified at all times. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
Along these lines, I want to mention our JMS Trunk or Treat on October 22 from 6pm-8pm. This event will be on the football field unless it rains and then it will be held in the gym. If you would like to sponsor a table, please get in touch with Mrs. George or Miss Allodi. We are also taking candy donations for this event.
The last thing I will mention is IPads. We have several IPad breakages occurring, mainly to screens. Remember that students are responsible for these items and if damaged may be charged for them. Many screen breakages occur because of putting the device inside a binder and it is compressed. If you could help by reminding students about this, it would be a great help.
I hope you have a great evening, and Go Generals!
