Wood County Schools is pleased to provide families with access to their students' 2026 West Virginia General Summative Assessment (GSA) results.

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.

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.

Dear Parents:

As we continue our health and safety education efforts at Wood County Schools, we will be conducting an anonymous student survey about school climate, including bullying, violence, alcohol and drug use. The survey information will assist us in making informed decisions by providing us with the data we need to evaluate our safety/bullying and drug education programs.

If you prefer that your child not participate, please inform our office, in writing, before May 13th. The survey will be administered on Thursday, May 14th. A copy of the survey is available in the main office if you would like to review its content. A summary of the information gathered will be shared with parents once results are obtained.

We appreciate your working with us as we continue our efforts to guide our children towards safe and healthy behaviors.

Due to snowy and icy conditions impacting a significant portion of the southern part of Wood County, Wood County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. While some areas of the county may not be experiencing the same conditions, roadways in other areas remain hazardous. Because our buses and families travel across many different communities and road conditions, this decision was made to prioritize the safety of all students and staff throughout the entire county.
