Williamstown Elementary

Last Call For WVDE Parent Survey. The window will close on Friday. Please take few minutes to help us build the best learning environment possible. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=S7AZ4AwzekaLrgn7FzdNaiZXL9MqG8dKptmUD57zL-NUMjRSSzZWRFZDQTZIS1U4TkpWM1I0UzdXRC4u Parent Code PO96235

I have been reviewing attendance data today. Currently our attendance rate is 93.83. In order to be in the green zone, we need 95. We have 15.8 percent who are considered chronically absent. Just a reminder the goal is for students to miss less than 20 days. Hopefully sick season is over! 40 students in that 15 percent can still meet the goal if they have great attendance this 9 weeks.

This message is for students who go to the Boys and Girls Club after school. The club will be closed for the rest of the week. You should be receiving a call from them. Please call the school and let us know what you would like your child to do after school.

Buses may be delayed this morning due to high water in several areas across the county. We appreciate your patience as we work to safely pick up and deliver students this morning.

Families, The first round of out-of-district/open-enrollment letters should have come home today with your child. This round of letters only went home with students who are currently enrolled at Williamstown Elementary and applied to remain here next year. I have been notified of some errors. All students currently attending WES who applied were accepted. If you did not get a letter, and applied before the March 1 deadline, please send me an email (lcumpsto@k12.wv.us) or call the school tomorrow.

All Wood County Schools after-school and evening activities will be CANCELLED tonight (Tuesday, April 2, 2024) due to incoming inclement weather. Schools will dismiss at their normal times today.

Families, All schools in Wood County have been asked to participate in a survey from the WVDE. Info from WVDE Parents are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. The results of this survey will be used to make changes in their child's school to ensure a supportive environment for teaching and learning. The survey may be completed from any computer with an internet connection. Your responses are anonymous. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. The link will be available through April 12, 2024. https://forms.office.com/r/UAgRBeNBde If you returned the permission form, your students will be taking the survey after Spring Break. Staff will also be taking a survey in April. Thank you for helping us grow and improve.

Skating Party @ 4:30-6:30 today. See you at Skate Country. Students must be accompanied by an adult.

Just a reminder that we have a skating party Sunday afternoon at Skate Country. The party will be 4:30-6:30. All students must be accompanied by an adult.

Calendar update: In order to account for missed school days due to inclement weather, students will now attend school on May 31 as well as June 3 and 4. Preschool will attend May 28 and 29. For staff, June 5 will be a curriculum development day (students do not attend) and June 6 will be a day to prepare for the end of the school year (students do not attend).

We need your help to keep students and staff healthy. If your child starts throwing up in the evening or through the night, do not send them to school the next day. The rule of thumb is your child should be "puke" free for 24 hours before returning to school. The same rule applies to fevers. A child should be fever free (without medication) for 24 hours before returning to school. If a child is vomiting and does not have a fever, they should still stay home until they are vomit free for 14 hours. Thank you!

Families of students in grades 3-5 Today or tomorrow your child will be bringing home a permission form to participate in a student survey. Please consider signing and returning the form. All Wood County Schools have been asked to participate in the survey. The information will help us to better serve your children. A parent survey link will be sent out in the near future.
