Neale Elementary

Good afternoon. I'd like to discuss a few things about our arrival and dismissal routines. We have begun to welcome all of our students, five days per week. We are thrilled to have everyone here. This creates a situation, which requires more time to dismiss all our children. I'd like to thank so many of you for being patient and arriving at the correct times. It is very helpful to have parents arrive in a staggered time frame. Arriving too early is causing traffic congestion. Some of our parents have chosen to pick their older children up close by. The students may safely cross with the crossing guard, if you can plan to meet them somewhere you are comfortable with. Some like to meet at Walgreens and some prefer Harbor Freight. If you feel safe with this plan, it might work for you. I had many complaints that their vehicle was passed while they were waiting in line to turn into the school parking lot. Please follow the traffic laws to keep our Neale students, parents and staff safe. I was also contacted by the Vienna Police Department. I assured him that we have multiple staff members working to keep everyone safe during our dismissal. We have also increased efficiency and shortened our time each day. This is going to be a group effort and I truly appreciate each of you helping us. It's a great day to be a Neale Eagle!

Good morning. Our internet connection is slowly coming back online. Most schools now have internet access. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Neale picture retakes will be on Tuesday, February 16th.

Good morning. All Wood County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay for Thursday, January 28, 2021. We will continue to re-evaluate road conditions throughout the morning. Thank you.

We are excited to have the students back in school! During dismissal, we will continue to use the student numbers to pick up your child. To help with traffic flow, please come during your assigned time. Also, pull all the way forward in the loop. We have found that pulling everyone forward and loading all the cars at the same time makes the line go faster. Dismissal times: 2:40 Numbers 1-66 2:45 Numbers 67-133 2:55 Numbers 134-250

Good afternoon. According to the WVDHHR map released at 10:00 a.m. today, all students in Wood County Schools, including students in High School, with last names L-Z will resume in-person instruction and learning tomorrow, Tuesday, January 19. More communication will be sent this evening. Enjoy the Holiday.

Good Evening. This is a reminder that students with last names L-Z will attend school in-person beginning Tuesday, January 19. We will be utilizing a very similar blended learning format as we did 1st semester. However, by our Governor’s Executive Order, High Schools will not be able to return to in-person learning until we reach the orange status on the WVDDHR daily map. To learn more about our re-entry plan and other learning options you may have, please visit our website at www.woodcountyschoolswv.com . Please stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful weekend.

Good evening. On January 19, 2021, students will return to in-person instruction in our schools.  However, I fully understand that some students and families are uncomfortable about returning to school in-person.  To provide more opportunities for our students,  WCS is requesting all students wishing to be instructed in an off-campus learning model, outside of our schools for the second semester, complete the form attached in this correspondence or visit the Wood County Schools website for more information.   Depending on the number of students wishing to be instructed off-campus, we may have the ability to offer families and students different choices rather than just the WV Learns- Virtual School program.  Once again, if you wish for your child to be instructed off-campus second semester, please complete the enrollment form.  The form is due by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2021. Thank you and have a great evening.    Click here to complete the form https://tinyurl.com/y5r337nx
