Williamstown Middle/High

We just received the all clear! So all activities will resume as normal, and our parade will begin at 1:30PM!

At this time due to a high speed chase, we have the school in a "lock-in." Meaning no one will be allowed in or out of the building at this time until we get an all clear. All students are inside and safe. Further announcements will come concerning the parade as we gather all information.

Additional information for tomorrow's football game. 1. Parking will be available off of fourth street. Donations for parking will be collected by the middle school wrestling team. There is also some street parking available around the stadium. 2. The only entrance will be located underneath the home bleachers. 3. NO ONE will be permitted inside the stadium area until 6:00 pm. 4. Kickoff will be at 7:15 with Homecoming festivities occurring at halftime. 5. All passes that are accepted at our home sporting events will be accepted tomorrow.

Update: This Friday’s Homecoming game against Weir will be played at Marietta. Kickoff will be at 7:15. The gates will open at 6:00. Fans will NOT be able to enter the stadium before 6:00. As a reminder tickets are being pre-sold on our GoFan site. Our homecoming parade will take place at 1:30, as planned. The middle school dance will still begin at 9:00 pm in the middle school gym.

Reminder: Tonights rivalry game against St Marys will be held at PHS. Kickoff time is 7:00. There will be an awards presentation by the WVSSAC before the start of the game. Tickets for tonight can be purchased online at https://gofan.co/app/school/WV2669. We will also be accepting credit/debit and cash at both gates. Please join us to cheer our boys on to victory!

Reminder to parents of seniors: a financial aid workshop will be held Tuesday, October 4 at 6:00 pm at the school. A representative from the WV Higher Education Policy Commission will provide assistance with the FAFSA at this workshop. Please create an FSA ID for your child and one parent asap because it takes 2-3 days to process it and you will need it for Tuesday.

I just want to brag about our Algebra students in ALEKS, the online math skills practice system, which supplements the great instruction provided by our math department. WMHS has the top 3 spots and 5 of the top 8 county-wide in terms of improvement from their initial skill level!

Wood County Schools is again offering a damage waiver program for student iPads. The program allows families to pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the school year which reduces the cost of repair and replacement of the iPad of those enrolled. Families can buy in one student for $30 or pay $60 for a family plan, which includes 2 or more students. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and did NOT have a claim, that payment is rolled over into this year and the family is automatically enrolled again. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and DID have a claim, they can buy back in to the program by filling out and paying for a new damage waiver. The program does require a student ID number. Contact your child’s school if you do not know their student ID number. Visit our payment portal to purchase. https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/payment

Attention: The Poweder puff game scheduled for this Friday is being postponed at this time. We will announce the new date when it is set.
