🧸❤️ **Teddy Bear Clinic!** ❤️🧸
Our Senior Medical Skills students had an amazing time hosting the Teddy Bear Clinic with the first graders from Franklin Elementary!
The young students did a fantastic job caring for their bears, checking height and weight, testing eyes and ears, taking temperatures, and even getting chest X-rays. They also listened to heart sounds and carefully counted each bear’s pulse.
The good news: almost all of the bears were in great health! One special bear needed a little extra attention, and thanks to a quick-thinking first grader, it even received CPR!
Our Senior Medical Skills students truly enjoyed working with the younger children and were excited to be part of such a fun and meaningful experience.
Great job to everyone involved! 💚🩺

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.
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.
