Parents and Students: Some of our side streets are still snowy and there are several parking spaces in our back parking lot that are piled with snow. Students should allow plenty of time to arrive at school and find alternative parking if necessary.
Due to continued ice and snow on roadways - particularly in the southern part of Wood County - Wood County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay today, Wednesday, February 4, 2026. We appreciate families' attention to student safety, especially for those walking to school, as many sidewalks remain snow- and ice-covered.
Parents and Students: Provided the weather cooperates, sophomores will be touring both the Wood County Technical and Caperton centers this Thursday, February 5. Students will leave WMHS by bus in the morning, and return in the afternoon. Lunch will be provided at PSHS. Students can also choose to bring their own lunch.
Update: Due to the potential for adverse weather conditions later in the afternoon, Wood County Schools will operate on an NTID Day on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. To learn more about NTID, visit: woodcountyschoolswv.com/ntid

The meeting takes place on Sunday, February 8,2026 at 3:00 in room 141 (enter in front of the school at door 6). Here's a hint... England, Ireland, Wales, France and a million details in between!

Due to inclement weather conditions, including snow and ice on roadways, particularly on less-traveled back roads, and ongoing safety concerns with parking lots, Wood County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26.
This decision was made with the safety of our students, families, and staff as our highest priority. Difficult travel conditions and icy surfaces create unsafe conditions for buses, drivers, and pedestrians, and we believe closure is the most responsible course of action.
We appreciate your understanding and encourage families to continue monitoring district communications for any additional updates.
