Reminder to parents of seniors: a financial aid workshop will be held Tuesday, October 4 at 6:00 pm at the school. A representative from the WV Higher Education Policy Commission will provide assistance with the FAFSA at this workshop. Please create an FSA ID for your child and one parent asap because it takes 2-3 days to process it and you will need it for Tuesday.
I just want to brag about our Algebra students in ALEKS, the online math skills practice system, which supplements the great instruction provided by our math department. WMHS has the top 3 spots and 5 of the top 8 county-wide in terms of improvement from their initial skill level!
We will be live streaming home sporting events (HS Volleyball, Football, HS Basketball, Wrestling), starting with tonight’s volleyball game against Roane County. If you are not able to make it to tonight’s game, you can follow the link below for live action. https://team1sports.com/highschool/wv/?S=williamstownyellowjackets

(See sign in/out procedures in the student handbook, on our website.) This includes students over the age of 18. Additionally, all students grades 6-12 have a closed campus lunch. Students may not leave campus for lunch unless their parents physically come and sign them out of school, in order to sign back in, the parent will need to write a note for the missing period. (Reminder: 5 Parent notes are allotted per semester for absences.) Students are not permitted to go to lunch with a parent of another student or relatives who are not parents or grandparents.

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

Parents of Seniors, please mark your calendars for October 4. The counseling department is hosting a representative from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission to host a financial aid workshop followed by assistance with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In order to receive free federal and state grants, many scholarships including the Promise and WV Invests, or a student loan, you MUST complete the FAFSA. Please take advantage of the assistance offered by the financial aid expert who is willing to take you step by step through the process because it can be a confusing and complicated process. Workshop will take place in room 222 from 6:00 to 8:00. Please RSVP to Ms. Justice so that we can be sure we have enough computers available. You will receive instructions for obtaining an FSA ID prior to the event. It is important to have the FSA ID BEFORE the workshop as it usually takes 2-3 days to process and you can not complete the FAFSA with it.
Be sure to check out the Journalism section of our School page to learn about ways to help your child get involved in different clubs and activities!
