If your kitchen table currently looks like a mountain of forms, passwords, login instructions, and mysterious app names, please know one very important thing:
You are not alone.
Every August, parents and guardians everywhere find themselves wondering things like:
"Didn't I just fill out this form?"
"Wait...which app is this again?"
"What was that password?"
"Why does my child know how to use technology better than I do?"
We completely understand. The beginning of the school year can feel a little overwhelming with all of the paperwork, forms, websites, and apps..
The good news is that once everything is set up, these tools make it much easier for us to share classroom news, student information, and important updates throughout the year.
Attached to this message are directions for:
Setting up a Schoology Parent Account for one child.
Adding additional children to your account after it has been created.
Important: You cannot create your Schoology parent account through the app. You must first visit the Schoology website and create your account there. After your account has been established on the website, you can then use the Schoology app.
And please remember:
If you are having trouble with Schoology or any other school app, don't suffer in silence!
Technology can sometimes have a mind of its own, and we are happy to help. Simply send a note, email, or message to your child's teacher. Do not spend an evening battling a login screen.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we begin another wonderful school year. We appreciate everything you do to support your child and our school community.
We're looking forward to a fantastic year together!
We are excited to welcome our newest little Tigers to Wirt County Primary Center today for Pre-K Open House!

New School Year Routines at the Primary Center
As we get ready for an exciting new school year at Wirt County Primary Center, we want to share a few reminders about our morning routine and student drop-off and pick-up procedures.
Drop-Off & Pick-Up Information

Pre-K and Kindergarten students should be dropped off and picked up in the parking lot near the Pre-K door.
Families with students in Grades 1-3 may use either the newer paved lot or the back door.
For student safety, please avoid dropping off or picking up students at the front door. Our busses will be using that parking lot to drop off and pick up students.
