6th Grade Supply List.

From Band Director Mr. Jed Corra Hello upcoming 6th & 7th Grade Students, If you were in band last year, but did not sign up to take band this school year and still want to please let Mr. Corra know. The end of the past school year was a confusing time and there may have been some students who did not get to sign up for band, but would like to continue. There are also students who might not have got the chance to participate in the past, but would like to learn and get involved with the band program at WHS. The musical arts is a great opportunity for students to express themselves in a positive way and in many ways helps the student recharge to be more focused for the rest of the school day. Also just a reminder the band class does not conflict with sports or other extracurriculars. Our rehearsals take place during school and in a normal school year we only have two concerts after school. There are extracurricular band activities that they can begin to join in 8th grade, but those are optional. Please contact Mr. Corra at jedidiah.corra@k12.wv.us or call the school at 304-375-6151 and leave a message. The band program at WHS is growing musically and hopes to continue to grow in size as well.

As we gear up for the 2020-2021 school year, we would like to start providing introductions to our new staff members that will be joining us at Williamstown Middle/High School. So stay tuned as we will be posting more about them in our news section over the next several days!

Good evening, To better prepare for the upcoming fall semester, Wood County Schools is seeking an accurate number of students who would like to participate in a full-time virtual school program.  Students would be a Wood County student choosing to take their classes online in a rigorous, web-based learning environment.  The virtual school teachers are West Virginia teachers teaching West Virginia content standards.  Students will still be able to participate in extracurricular (sports, clubs) and co-curricular activities (Band, ROTC) as would any other student.  This is not an easier pathway, but a different pathway to utilize during these uncertain times.  The program is for students in grades K -12 interested in a virtual school learning environment.  If interested in pursuing the virtual school option for your child, please visit our webpage woodcountyschoolswv.com, click “Menu”, “Parents and Students”, “Virtual School”.
