Report cards, conference sign-ups, and grades 3-12 Cyber SWAT opt-out forms are coming home today. We strongly encourage you to review the Cyber SWAT materials before deciding to opt-out. SWAT uses an interactive story in a gaming framework. The topics in the game are serious but presented in age-appropriate ways. Students will encounter realistic online safety challenges and make choices that teach them to recognize danger, protect their information, and speak up when something feels wrong. If you choose to opt-out, please return the form by Friday, March 27. Parent guides are available here: https://wveis.k12.wv.us/cyberswat and are also posted under the Parents section of our web pages. If you would like to review the lessons in person, please contact the school to make arrangements.

10 days ago, Eric Croasmun
180-Day Waiver Request:  Please be advised that we applied for a waiver with WVDE for some of our school cancellations. *The waiver request has been approved by the WVDE.  This means that due to the state-wide severe weather (state of emergency) in January, we do not have to make up some of the days that were missed. SPRING BREAK Spring Break for students will continue to be observed as originally scheduled: Monday, March 30, 2026 – Tuesday, April 7, 2026, for students. Staff only will return on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, for a Professional Learning Day. Students will return to school on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. LAST DAY OF SCHOOL We anticipate that Friday, May 22, 2026, will be the last day for students.  However, this is contingent on any additional “inclement weather” days that may occur. *The number of days requested are waived, provided this does not result in the last day of school occurring before the originally approved student end date.
