We’re also sharing simple ways parents can support a smooth transition into summer. We’re excited to provide valuable resources, including ParentGuidance.org - a platform designed to help you navigate your child’s emotional well-being with expert insights and practical tools.

School Calendar Updates for Families and Students Our waiver request to the West Virginia Department of Education for last week’s cancellation has been approved. This means we will not need to extend the student calendar. Reminder: Schools will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. The last day for students is Thursday, May 29th which will be a 3-hour early dismissal. The final week of school is full of celebration, reflection, and wrapping up a great year.
