Wood County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, January 14th, due to refreezing roadway conditions and low temperatures.
Correction: The January 13 edition of the *Parkersburg News & Sentinel* incorrectly stated that Wood County Schools would be adding an additional 30 minutes to the school day in relation to "equivalency time" for days missed due to inclement weather. In fact, Wood County Schools already incorporates 30 extra minutes into its regular school day, which can be used to account for missed instructional time. To be clear, Wood County Schools will not be adding 30 minutes to the end of any school day.
Wood County Schools will be on a two-hour delay on Monday, January 13. Please stayed tuned for updates.

Good evening, this is Mr. Kisner with a quick announcement concerning construction going on around the school. The side entrance, door 17, area is closed due to construction around that entrance. Therefore, if you must pick up a student there you will need to call the office and go on back to door 14 at the end of the parking lot by the back corner of the building. The number for the school is 304-420-9551.
This will take a couple of weeks possibly, if you are coming to an event at the school we will have signs pointing to the proper entrance. Sorry for this inconvenience. Have a great evening.

Good evening,
To proactively address suicide prevention and remain in compliance with Jamie's Law, Senate Bill 230/House Bill 4568, requiring school administrators to provide opportunities to discuss suicide prevention information annually, we are working with a mental health agency to provide free, evidence-based education that discusses risk factors, warning signs, and things we can do to assist students in need. Students will hear a presentation during class the week of December 2 through 6. If they wish to speak to an adult about themselves or a friend in need, we will be providing follow-up sessions throughout the week. You will be contacted by school personnel regarding referral information and additional resources/services if your child was identified as being at a potential risk.
If you strongly wish that your child NOT be part of the presentation, please send an email or have your child bring in a note stating you do not wish they participate before December 3. These can be addressed to our school counselor, Mrs. Carpenter. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you and have a great evening.

In attempt to ensure all our Jackson students have a wonderful Christmas, we are actively searching for those who 1. Need help, and 2. Wish to help. We would like to have all placements made by the 22nd, so please act fast. If you’ve already offered to help and have yet to hear back, it’s simply because we are waiting for Wishlists to return. Note: Operation Christmas is 100% confidential and all parties will remain anonymous.
Please reach out to Ms. George via cmgeorge@k12.wv.us or simply call the school if you’d like to participate.
Congratulations to the Jackson 8th grade Theater class for getting 1st Place in the Wood County Vaping Prevention video contest! Go Generals!
