Tomorrow, September 20th is Picture Day! It is also mid-term for the first nine weeks. Grade 3-5 parents, please login to Schoology to check your student's grades. Graded K-2 teachers will be reaching out to you in the next couple of weeks, if they have not already, with any student concerns.

Today your child should have a yellow McKinney Vento form in his or her green folder. McKinney Vento Act is a federal law that provides federal money for homeless programs. If your family is living in someone’s home other than your own, whether it be with a grandparent, family member or friend due to economic hardship, please fill out the form and return it to your child’s teacher by Wednesday.
If you don’t qualify, please check no and return it anyway. Every child will receive a frosty coupon for returning the form, even if you check no on the form. Our goal is for your family to receive the help you need at home and your kids to continue to receive extra resources at Neale.
Please call the office if you have any questions.
Have a good evening!

Good Evening Neale Families,
Due to having several students in quarantine we have made the decision to reschedule the Title I Opening Meeting at Skate Country scheduled for August 31st. We want all our students to have the opportunity to participate. Therefore, we have moved it to September 30th. Thank you and have a great evening!
Good evening. Tomorrow brings much anticipation with the start of a new school year. I am so excited to see our students and employees back in our buildings as we work together to become the # 1 school district in the state of West Virginia. We are so fortunate to have a wonderful community of parents and guardians that understand the importance of a first-class education and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure the success of our students and schools. However, we know there is a lot of work to complete.
This summer, WCS has equipped schools with essential personnel for targeted intervention, created a STEAM Academy for middle school students, and continued to upgrade our facilities to provide the most conducive environments possible in our schools. We are very excited to see the new school year begin.
I encourage each of you to review our re-entry guidance document located on our webpage at https://tinyurl.com/yhq2qwgb. As you know, directives can change quickly with little notice. I will do my best to communicate changes to you as directives are received. I encourage all parents and students to follow the recommendations in the guidance document including, but not limited to - wearing a mask, staying socially distanced, and practicing good, hand-washing hygiene.
As always, I ask for your patience on the first day of school. There are many moving parts that we will continually perfect throughout the year. Once again, thank you for your support and encouragement as we start another exciting school year.
Thank you for all you do and have a wonderful evening.
