We are aware that some misinformation is circulating regarding today's dismissal times for Wood County Schools. Please note that all schools will dismiss today, Wednesday, January 15th, at their normal dismissal times. Thank you for your attention and understanding.

Wood County Schools will be on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

The Social Studies Fair at Emerson Elementary School has been moved to Friday, January 17. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause families.

Wood County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, January 14th, due to refreezing roadway conditions and low temperatures.

Correction: The January 13 edition of the *Parkersburg News & Sentinel* incorrectly stated that Wood County Schools would be adding an additional 30 minutes to the school day in relation to "equivalency time" for days missed due to inclement weather. In fact, Wood County Schools already incorporates 30 extra minutes into its regular school day, which can be used to account for missed instructional time. To be clear, Wood County Schools will not be adding 30 minutes to the end of any school day.

Wood County Schools will be on a two-hour delay on Monday, January 13. Please stayed tuned for updates.

Wood County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 10th due to secondary road conditions and single digit morning temperatures.

Wood County Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, due to hazardous roadway conditions and ongoing inclement weather, prioritizing the safety of our students and staff.

For the safety of our students and staff, Wood County Schools will remain closed on Tuesday, January 7th, due to ongoing inclement weather. Stay safe and warm!

In consideration of the safety of our students and staff, Wood County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 6th, due to anticipated inclement weather and cold temperatures.
