Dear Parents and Guardians,

We want to make you aware that Wood County Schools has been notified of a planned power outage that will affect Parkersburg South High School, Wood County Technical Center, and Franklin Elementary Center. Unfortunately, this outage was communicated to us with very little advance notice.

The power is expected to go off within the next 30 minutes and may remain out until approximately 1:30 PM. Please be assured that our staff are prepared to continue the school day with minimal disruption. Lunch will be served as scheduled, and instruction will continue as our teachers adapt their lessons accordingly.

The safety and well-being of our students remains our top priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. We will provide an update once power has been restored.
