Good evening. Tomorrow brings much anticipation with the start of a new school year. I am so excited to see our students and employees back in our buildings as we work together to become the # 1 school district in the state of West Virginia. We are so fortunate to have a wonderful community of parents and guardians that understand the importance of a first-class education and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure the success of our students and schools. However, we know there is a lot of work to complete.
This summer, WCS has equipped schools with essential personnel for targeted intervention, created a STEAM Academy for middle school students, and continued to upgrade our facilities to provide the most conducive environments possible in our schools. We are very excited to see the new school year begin.
I encourage each of you to review our re-entry guidance document located on our webpage at https://tinyurl.com/yhq2qwgb. As you know, directives can change quickly with little notice. I will do my best to communicate changes to you as directives are received. I encourage all parents and students to follow the recommendations in the guidance document including, but not limited to - wearing a mask, staying socially distanced, and practicing good, hand-washing hygiene.
As always, I ask for your patience on the first day of school. There are many moving parts that we will continually perfect throughout the year. Once again, thank you for your support and encouragement as we start another exciting school year.
Thank you for all you do and have a wonderful evening.

Mineral Wells- Class lists will be posted on the doors on August 12. Teachers at Mineral Wells Elementary placed students in classes for the 2021-2022 school year with the goal of creating academically and behaviorally balanced classrooms. Balancing classroom groupings assures that all students get the teacher attention and energy they deserve. The following additional factors were considered when creating balanced classrooms: individual student academic needs, social and emotional factors, specific program requirements, and number of students.
Please email Missy Powers at mpowers@k12.wv.us and Kim Vannoy at kjvannoy@k12.wv.us if you have specific input that administrators need to know when finalizing class lists. Please keep in mind that these emails should not include specific teacher requests or requests for childhood friends to be placed in the same classrooms.
Please call 304-588-7067 with any questions.
