Families,
Wood County Schools is in the process of adopting a new communication/electronic devices policy. For elementary students, this will mean that students must power off cell phones and smartwatches before entering the building. Phones and watches will need to be placed in backpacks and lockers. Students will be able to turn their devices back on after school. You may review the policy on the Wood County Schools page. More detailed information will be shared when school starts.

The first day of school for students in KG-12 grade is August 20. PK students will begin on August 25 and August 26. If you have not received a letter, you should in the next couple of days. If you are new to Williamstown Elementary, please check out our Facebook Page (Williamstown Elementary School). Our PTA also has a Facebook Page (Williamstown Elementary School PTA). I will begin sending out information about the opening of school this week.
Tomorrow is water inflatable day. Make sure that your children have a change of clothes and a towel. Send them in the clothes that they are going to get wet and then they can change after. If your child's teacher has given you different instructions, follow the teacher's requests.
Field Day Tomorrow
Remember to wear tennis shoes and bring your water bottles,.
The art cart program was donated 6 of the summer art boxes for students. These creative students received one of the boxes. They will have a busy summer!
Heavy rain and flooding are affecting student transportation. Our team is working on rerouting where possible. Expect delays for bus riders in flood-prone areas. Safety is Wood County Schools' first priority.
Fifth grade promotion will be held on Thursday, June 5 @ 6:00 in the gym. Light refreshments will be provided after the ceremony in the cafeteria. We look forward to seeing everyone!
Wood County Schools Special Education Office will be destroying special education records of all former special education students with a graduation date prior to and including 2019.

Thank you, Little Black Dress Events for supporting our kiddos during testing. They worked so hard the last couple weeks.
Tomorrow is Inflatable Day for PK-5 Grade Students. This event is sponsored by our PTA. Our hope is to have everything outside, however, the final call will be made in the morning. We have a plan B if the weather looks questionable. Part of the inflatables will be outside and part in the gym. You are welcome to send a change of clothes, just in case. Hopefully, the sun will shine until after 3:00 :)

This is just an FYI for families. Tomorrow around 10:00 AM, there will be a SWAT truck parked in front of the school. We have been doing a food drive for Children's Home Society and Captain Rick George (Wood County Sheriff's Department) will be picking up the items and delivering them to CHS. If you haven't sent in items and want to help out, please send them with your child in the morning.
