Attendance = Strong Finish
Think of the school year like a race. The final stretch is where students bring everything together. Showing up each day helps them:
A Time to Celebrate—and Stay Committed
The end of the year is full of celebrations, and your child deserves to be part of them. From classroom moments to final milestones, being present allows them to fully experience the joy of closing out the year with their peers.
Finishing strong isn’t just about academics, it’s about building habits, confidence, and pride.
Let’s make this last month count.

Hi PreK Families!
We wanted to give you a heads-up about a temporary change to our arrival process for the rest of this week. Due to ongoing construction, the PreK parking area and turn-around will be unavailable.
Here's what to expect:
Plan to arrive between 8:00–8:10 a.m.
Use the bus lane for drop-off — our staff will be right there at the main doors to welcome your child and walk them to their classroom
Parking alternative: Feel free to park along 32nd Street, Clement Avenue, or Central Avenue and walk your little one up to school
We know this is an adjustment, and we truly appreciate your flexibility and patience as we work through this construction phase. Your cooperation means everything to our team!
Thank you for being such wonderful partners in our PreK community!

🎉 Exciting News for Current and Future Students of Madison Elementary!
Oops — apparently we can't count to six! 🙈 We accidentally left three images off our last post, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion. The first three photos are for the Pre-K playground, and the last three are for the main playground. We promise we're better at playgrounds than we are at posting!
On May 13, the Wood County Board of Education approved new playgrounds for Madison Elementary! The playgrounds will be fully ADA compliant, ensuring all students can play and learn together. Check out the rendering below for a preview — please note the building pictured is not Madison Elementary, but simply part of the playground design rendering.
We can't wait for our students to enjoy this fantastic new space!

Due to snowy and icy conditions impacting a significant portion of the southern part of Wood County, Wood County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. While some areas of the county may not be experiencing the same conditions, roadways in other areas remain hazardous. Because our buses and families travel across many different communities and road conditions, this decision was made to prioritize the safety of all students and staff throughout the entire county. We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure everyone can travel safely.
Due to various road conditions throughout the county, Wood County Schools will be on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
There is still time, and a few spaces remain—reserve your child’s spot in Pre-K at Wood County Schools today.

Important Update Regarding the End of the School Year: We are pleased to share that the West Virginia Department of Education has granted Wood County Schools a waiver for three instructional days. As a result of this approval, the last day of school for students will remain Tuesday, June 2, 2026 — no changes have been made to the previously published school calendar. No further action is needed on your part. Please make note of this date as you plan for summer childcare, activities, and travel. For the most up-to-date school calendar information, visit woodcountyschoolswv.com/calendar. Thank you for your continued support of Wood County Schools.
