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.

Police escort will meet the team at Superior Toyota on their way in to town.

Welcome the champs in the field house. Let's go Big Reds!! I'd guess 1115 or a little after. Join us!

All three girls high school basketball teams in Wood County have earned the opportunity to play in the AA or AAAA state championship on Saturday, March 14! Come and join us to cheer on our student athletes!

Williamstown Yellowjackets play at 12:30 pm.

Parkersburg Big Reds v. Parkersburg South Patriots at 7:30 pm.

Our students will once again have WCS shining across the state! Best wishes to PHS, PSHS, and WHS on fantastic games today! #WoodCountyProud

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.
