Junior and Senior Parents and Students:


Prom tickets go on sale today and will be on sale all next week. Students can purchase tickets during lunch or on the GoFan app. Cost is $25 per person. Students purchasing online will still need to pick up their paper ticket from Ms. Wigal. If students are bringing outside guests to prom, approval forms are due to Mrs. Bryant by April 21 before 3:00 pm. ALL outside guests must be approved. Forms are located outside of Mrs. Bryant's office.

Parents of athletes:

Your student should come to school with all items needed for their evening sporting events. They should NOT be signing out before their team is dismissed for away contests. Our athletes are students first and should not be missing instruction to make a trip home before their bus departures. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Reminder to all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade parents and students. We are administering the PSAT and SAT tomorrow morning. All students in these grades will need to be at school on time, with fully charged iPads. Testing will begin at 7:50 and will last until lunchtime. All testing will take place in the downstairs, high school wing. Testing rooms have been assigned for each student. If your student is unsure of their testing room, they can refer to the lists posted outside of all grade level classrooms and on the doors near the upstairs trophy case. Please help us ensure students are set up for success by encouraging your child to get a good nights rest and to eat breakfast in the morning.

Due to some scheduling conflicts, the immunization clinic is being rescheduled for April 16th. This is a great opportunity for those students' entering 7th and 12th grade next school year to get their required Tdap and/or Meningitis vaccine. A consent form is required to participate!

Please contact Nurse Danielle if you have any questions.

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.

It is not too late to get the consent forms to participate in the immunization clinic.

If your child is going into the 7th or 12th grade next school year, they are required to receive their Tdap and/or Meningitis vaccine. Consent forms are required to participate in this clinic. MOV-Health Department will be on campus Thursday, April 2nd. Please contact Nurse Danielle if you have any questions or would like the paperwork!
