Two exciting things happened today. 1. Neale's entrances got a face lift. Sir Speedy did a wonderful job on them. 2. CLASS lists are POSTED. (That is if the storm didn't blow them away.It was difficult trying to tape them up without destorying the nice new vinyl.😁)
Good evening. We invite you to contribute to our ARP/ESSER plan by providing input to the ideas generated in spending funds provided by the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER), targeting K-12 education. Your input will guide our plan to meet the needs of our students, staff, and community which will be presented to the West Virginia Dept. of Education on July 19. Your input is vitally important. To provide input, please click the following link or visit our website. Thank you. https://tinyurl.com/yfs5cvgh
We have been notified that several students did not get pick up this morning for their first day of summer school. The bus garage is working hard to make the necessary changes and will be calling parents to notify you of changes, if needed.
For the elementary students that were to be picked up in front of Neale, the bus is scheduled to be here at 7:10 AM for pickup and drop off will be 2:37 PM. Please arrive ten minutes before your scheduled time, to be sure to account for any adjustments. Thank you for being patient as we work out the glitches these first few days.
With the 2020-21 school year wrapping up, I would just like to say “Thank You!”
Thank you to everyone: Students, parents, teachers, staff and community members. Thank you to everyone who has helped others get through this often challenging and frustrating year, and thank you to everyone for your patience and resilience.
Even as we head into summer break, Wood County Schools is hard at work finalizing preparations for our summer programs which are set to begin later this month. These eight programs are unlike anything we have offered before and are sure to be engaging and fun for students at all grade levels. More than 1,500 students are enrolled and more than 200 teachers and staff have been hired to help make these programs a success. Wood County Schools’ summer offerings have been called a model for the state, and we intend to show everyone why we deserve to be called the best school system in West Virginia.
I want everyone to have a wonderful summer and a well-earned break. Most importantly, though, I want everyone ready for this fall. Throughout all of our challenges, we have learned and we have grown, and it is time for us to put that hard-earned knowledge to work for our students. We want to provide all of our kids with the best possible opportunities in first-class facilities staffed by top-level teachers and caring adults.
So as we say goodbye to the 2020-21 school year, let us look forward to the wonderful things we can accomplish together in the months and years ahead.
Thank you everyone, and have a great summer!
Field Day—Postponed
Due to weather forecast for Thursday, we have made the decision to postpone field day until Monday, June 7th.
Good evening parents! If your family did not attend last week's Kona Ice event, your child should have brought home a bag with the materials that were given out that evening. Please take out the bag and read the information about summer learning. Also, please sign and return the yellow papers tomorrow. Your child will get a Caught Being Good ticket when they return the signed papers. We hope this helps your child maintain their learning over the summer. Thank you and have a good evening.
Exciting news from Wood County Schools! Off Campus Learning Options are now available for the fall. Learn more at woodcountyschoolswv.com.
Hello Neale Families! This is a reminder that tomorrow and Thursday evenings, we will have our FREE Kona Ice Summer Kick Off celebration. We have received invitations back from many of you. Please remember to come at the time you circled on your invitation. If you did not send back an invitation, but would like to come on one of the evenings, please send your invitation back or call the office tomorrow to reserve a time. Thank you and we hope to see you there !
As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to take a moment to personally say ‘Thank You’ to all of Wood County Schools’ selfless and dedicated educators.
This has been one of the most challenging school years in recent history. Our teachers have not only endured nearly impossible tasks but have risen to the challenge and have continued to place our students first. Our teachers and personnel have dedicated countless hours keeping students engaged, providing support and care to families, and giving our children a beacon of normalcy in an often turbulent and uncertain world. The work you do each day is more appreciated than you will ever know.
Wood County Schools is blessed to have so many caring and dedicated teachers, and I want all of you to know: We see what you are doing and what you have done, and we are thankful you are here.
Thank you for making a difference!
