Wood County Schools is again offering a damage waiver program for student iPads. The program allows families to pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the school year which reduces the cost of repair and replacement of the iPad of those enrolled. Families can buy in one student for $30 or pay $60 for a family plan, which includes 2 or more students. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and did NOT have a claim, that payment is rolled over into this year and the family is automatically enrolled again. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and DID have a claim, they can buy back in to the program by filling out and paying for a new damage waiver. The program does require a student ID number. Contact your child’s school if you do not know their student ID number. Visit our payment portal to purchase. https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/payment
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This is Mr. Kisner with a few announcements for the upcoming week. First, there will be a Parent Teacher Organization meeting on Wednesday, 9/14, at 5:15pm in the school cafeteria. We invite anyone that would like to take part to come out and be a part of this organization.
Also, on Wednesday evening there will be a Fall Sports Bonfire in the back parking lot of the school starting at 7pm. We will introduce all our fall sports teams and the cheer squad will lead some school spirit cheers during this time. This event will last about 30-40 minutes and obviously is subject to weather. In the event of inclement weather, the event will not be held.
The last thing I want to mention is Picture Day for all students on Thursday, 9/15. All students will have their pictures taken for the school yearbook and if you would like to order pictures you may do so. There are picture packets at the school, or you can order these online at my.lifetouch.com and putting in picture ID EVT7XZ98F.
I hope you all have a wonderful evening and GO Generals!
Good evening,
This is a message to all 6th grade parents and students. There are many changes when you come to middle school; one of those is being responsible for your IPad. One of the most important parts of being responsible with this device is making sure it is completely charged for each school day. Parents, if you could help remind students to charge their devices at night we would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you for your time and effort! Have a great evening and Go Generals!

Wood County Schools' internet provider has a fiber line down between Charleston and Parkersburg. Their crews are on site and there is no ETA on when the line will be repaired. With that being said, there is a possibility that the internet may be out tomorrow at all WCS locations if the line is not repaired in time. Details will be shared as soon as we get them.

Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff.
I would like to remind all our parents and students that tomorrow evening from 4:45 – 6:45, we will have open house at Jackson Middle School. We will open the main doors at 4:45 tomorrow afternoon. Students should find their HR teacher on the front windows of the cafeteria, then they can report to their HR to get their schedule.
Each teacher will be in their rooms to help with directions around the building and to talk with students and parents. Open house will be at your own pace and students and parents can go through a student’s schedule and find each room if they like.
Parents will also be able to complete the electronic Acceptable Use Policy for their student, either by using the QR code with their phone or on a computer in the library. We will have NJHS students around to help with both of these items. Completing the AUP early will allow your student to receive their IPad on Thursday or Friday of this week. We must check the items off before we can issue the student device.
I would also like parents to know our PTA group will also be at open house tomorrow evening.
I want to remind everyone that Thursday will be our first day of school and students need to be at school by 7:55 am. All students will enter through the cafeteria doors, 6th graders will report to the cafeteria, and all 7th and 8th grade will report to the gym. 6th graders will remain in the cafeteria until their HR teachers get them in the morning.
Have a great evening and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow evening! Go Generals!
Sorry...to access the QR code you will have to go to our website: https://www.woodcountyschoolswv.com/o/jm or Facebook page. The QR image will not transmit over the SMS system. Thanks.
Parents of incoming 6th graders! If you could complete this form ahead of time or when you get to the school, this will allow us to give your child their IPad to take home today! If we don't have this we will assign them an IPad, they just can't take it home until we have this form completed. Thank you.
This is for all parents! The attached QR code allows you to complete your student's acceptable use policy! Please go to this link and complete the information. Students will not be able to take their IPad home until this information is completed. If you need a paper copy you will need to come to the school to get one. Go Generals!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff!
Just a reminder of our Tour de Jackson for incoming 6th graders tomorrow from 1pm – 3pm. Students will get to tour the building, get their locker and work on the combination, view their schedules, get finger scanned for lunch, and get your IPad! Students will come in the cafeteria doors, please locate your HR teacher’s name on the table and have a seat. We will start promptly at 1 pm.
I also want to encourage all our students and parents to come to Open House on August 16. Open House for Jackson will be from 445-645 and students and parents can come and visit the school as they please. Students should report first to their HR so that they can get their schedule and then they can go around the school at their own pace to visit teachers and rooms. If you have questions feel free to call Jackson at 304-420-9551.
Have a great evening and Go Generals!
