Correction: The January 13 edition of the *Parkersburg News & Sentinel* incorrectly stated that Wood County Schools would be adding an additional 30 minutes to the school day in relation to "equivalency time" for days missed due to inclement weather.

To be clear, Wood County Schools will not be adding 30 minutes to the end of any school day.

We have a partnership with WVUP that offers one-on-one tutoring for our kindergarten - 5th students Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:45 - 4:00. If I haven't contacted you and you would like your child to participate in the next semester beginning the end of January, please call the school ASAP. Because the tutors are being graded on their work, it is important that Fairplains' students attend each session so the tutors can complete their assignments. Please call me if you would like your child to participate. Thank you!

Parents who signed up for meal boxes, please pick them up today by 2:00. We don't have any extra boxes at this time.
