Every year at this time we must fulfill a requirement of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1986. It is our responsibility to notify in writing, parents/legal guardian, school staff and employee organizations of the availability of the Asbestos Management Plan for each facility. Please find the notification information for your facility on Wood County Schools' web page.

WMHS: We have an exciting opportunity for our middle school students to earn a roller skate reward trip during this next nine weeks.
We want to share out the information so families are aware.
The criteria is as follows for the 2nd nine weeks:
1. No F's in any subject on their report cards.
2. No suspension or after school detention
3. Can only be assigned lunch detention one time.
4. No unexcused absences. This means that all parent or doctor notes are turned in if
a student misses school.
