Due to snowy and icy conditions impacting a significant portion of the southern part of Wood County, Wood County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. 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.
There is still time, and a few spaces remain—reserve your child’s spot in Pre-K at Wood County Schools today.

Due to an increase in flu and other respiratory illnesses in our area, we are seeing a rise in student absences and illness in our schools. All schools are increasing cleaning of high‑touch surfaces and are encouraging frequent handwashing throughout the school day.
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing symptoms of any illness that would prevent them from participating fully in normal school activities. Contact your school nurse for guidance.
Thank you for your partnership in helping us keep our schools healthy and safe places for students to learn.
