Wood County Schools has made a change regarding the caller ID number for all mass calls and texts in which we want you to be aware. Previously, all mass calls made from Wood County Schools, used for emergencies or other important information, whether from the central office or from any individual school, used the number (304) 420-9520 for the caller ID. Starting today, all school mass calls will show a caller ID number that is the same as the school's main telephone number. District calls will continue to show a caller ID of (304) 420-9520. The caller ID number for any individual school may be verified by visiting the school's webpage and finding the phone number in the footer of the page.

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

Wood County Schools will be canceling TREK this week due to staffing issues. Therefore, buses will not transport students that attend Franklin Elementary for TREK grades 3-5. Franklin Elementary students will report as normal. We apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to resuming TREK next week. Have a great evening!
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 Mineral Wells Mustangs! We are excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow. Doors open at 7:30 and students are tardy at 8:15. (Kindergarten parents please follow the schedule that you received in the mail.) Parents that are dropping their children off at school can either park in the parking lot and walk students across the crosswalk or pull up to the curb and stop to let their child exit the car. Please only use the drop off lane if your child can exit the car independently. Students in Kindergarten will be dismissed at 2:55 at the main doors. Students in 1st grade will dismissed by the gazebo doors at 2:55. Students in 2nd-5th grades will exit the main doors at approximately 3:02. We ask that all parents that are picking up their child at the main doors stand close to the curb. This prevents students from being overwhelmed when they exit the building and it helps keep all our students safe. Please make sure that both your child and the teacher are aware of how your child is getting home tomorrow. Thanks for helping us make the first day of school a memorable experience for everyone. We hope that everyone has a wonderful evening!
