Good evening Jackson County Schools Community,
Scores on the 2024 West Virginia Summative Assessment that our students in Grades 3-8 took last spring have been released and show, once again, that Jackson County School Students are performing well. The teachers and staff of all of our schools thank you for the work that you and your children have put into their education and look forward to great things to come.
Score reports this year are being released online and instructions for viewing your child's scores have been sent out in an email message to your child's school email account. Paper reports for the WVGSA are not being provided this year by the West Virginia Department of Education. If you have any questions regarding your child's scores, please contact your child's school for more information.
Thank you and have a great evening.
CES Families: Happy Monday all! Tomorrow is the first Good News Club day of the year. If your child wants to stay after school, he/she needs to have the permission form completed and returned to school.
Jackson County Schools and Cottageville Elementary School are committed to the safety and education of all our students. Essential to this commitment is open communication with our families and school community about potential concerns when they arise. For this reason, I wanted to share some information regarding unsubstantiated or rumored threats circulating on a social media messaging platform. Please rest assured that we take all threats seriously. Upon notification of reported threats, we contact law enforcement immediately to investigate any threat and its validity. The reported messages are being investigated and appear to be similar to other threats or messages being spread throughout our region. Jackson County Schools has not been identified in a post to our knowledge, but many schools in our region have been named. We understand that situations like this can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all. Once again, we want to emphasize our unwavering commitment to the safety of our students and staff. We are grateful for the support and collaboration of our school communities and law enforcement agencies Together, we will continue to work diligently to keep our schools safe and secure. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly at 304-372-7330. Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work together to keep our school community safe.
