Our 180-day waiver request for Calhoun County has been approved by the West Virginia Department of Education. This means we will not have to make up any additional days that were missed due to weather.
The students’ last day of school will remain the same as the approved 2025–2026 school calendar.
📅 The last day for students will be May 29th.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to your school’s main office.
We want to take the time to acknowledge the children who have come to school and worked hard. Every week we will be featuring a child at random from each grade level, and one student will be selected to be the student of the week and at the end of the month we will draw one winner for a prize. Let’s show these kids how awesome it is that they show up and make it happen. WAY TO GO!!

These young authors represent the heart and talent of our students. Their dedication to writing and their willingness to share their voices make us incredibly proud. We also want to recognize Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Hoskins, Mrs. Summers, Mrs. Stewart, and Dr. Gainer, whose encouragement and guidance helped these writers find the confidence to tell their stories
These students will have the opportunity to participate in Young Writers Day at the University of Charleston in May, where their creativity will be honored alongside students from across the state. ❤️
