Students have received an email in their Wood County Schools student email account containing a personalized link to access their GSA score reports. Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with their child to retrieve the email and review the results together.
The score report provides detailed information about your child's performance and can help identify academic strengths as well as areas for continued growth.
If your child cannot locate the email or is experiencing difficulty accessing their score report, please contact your child's school for assistance.
We encourage all families to review these results and discuss them with their child as part of supporting continued academic success.
