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
f you have students at both the Primary Center and Middle School, please use the back door for drop-off and pick-up of your Primary Center student(s).
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.
🧡 New This Year! Morning Tiger Meeting 🖤
Each morning, our entire school will gather in the gym from 7:50 a.m. to 7:55 a.m. for a brief schoolwide meeting before heading to classrooms. Students will be dismissed to class and begin instruction at 8:00 a.m.
If your child wants to be part of the morning meeting, be sure to arrive in time!
What will happen during our morning meetings? You never know...
We might review school expectations.
We might talk about upcoming activities and events, OR...
We might discover that it's a SUPER SECRET DAY!

All families must apply and may do so online at www.wvpath.wv.gov or by requesting a paper application be mailed to them by contacting their local DOHS office or by calling 1-877-716-1212. Applications will be accepted until August 15, 2026, or until the available funds are fully allocated, whichever occurs first.

Each eligible child will receive a $200 benefit that may be used toward the purchase of appropriate school clothing or piece goods for families who sew clothing for their children.
The monthly income for a family of four for the school clothing program may not exceed $3,483. Verification of income for July 2026 must be submitted with the application.
