Dear Parent/Guardian,
The end of the year will be upon us before we know it, which is when field trips and lots of fun activities take place. We are going to use the LiveSchool points system to determine who can go to these events. Every parent has access to their child’s LiveSchool data, if you are unsure how to access it please contact the school.
Starting after Spring Break (April 2) students will only be allowed to have a maximum of 5 negative infractions to attend the events. If a student is given an office referral, they are automatically not allowed to go on trips. If they can’t behave at school, we can’t trust that they can behave on a trip.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Emerson or Ms. Richards at 304-275-4263.
Please do not park in the Wellness Center parking spots when you are visiting the school or picking up your child(ren). The Wellness Center has a limited number of parking spots and needs them for patients or the parents/guardians of patients. Thank you.

3rd & 4th Grade Parents: The WV Department of Education is requiring public schools to give the writing portion of the state mandated testing in March this year. The Primary Center will be testing on March 12. The remainder of the mandated tests will be done from May 7 - May 9, 2024. Please try to schedule any appointments that your child may have around the testing dates, so they can test with their classmates. (photo courtesy of freepik.com)
Students will be bringing Calhoun Banks' coloring contest papers home today. They need to be back to school by March 22, 2024 in order to participate in the contest.
Wirt County Primary Center is participating in the WV School Learning Environment Survey. Parents are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. The results of this survey, the student survey, and the school staff survey will be used to make changes in your child's school to ensure a supportive environment for teaching and learning. The survey may be completed from any computer with an internet connection.
When you log onto the survey, you will see explanatory information about the survey and important information regarding your rights as a survey participant:
Only one adult in a child's household needs to complete the survey for the school even though there may be multiple children from the house attending the school. Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to participate; not to answer any questions you do not want to answer; and you may stop participating at any time during the survey without penalty. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential.
A Parent Login Code will be necessary to identify the school . The code that all parents participating will need is listed below as well as the link to the survey. You can also access the Parent Survey using the QR code with this message.
Parent login code: P094201
Link to Parent Survey: https://forms.office.com/r/UAgRBeNBde
Thank you in advance for your participation! We hope that by going through this survey process we can make Wirt County Primary Center an even BETTER place to learn!
Don't forget that tomorrow is picture day!!!

Next week, we will be releasing School Learning Environment Survey links provided by the WV Department of Education. The surveys are used to help make changes in our school where needed to ensure a positive and supportive place for children to learn and employees to work.
The links below are to PDF versions of the surveys, so you can see how they work together to help determine the climate at a school. Participation is voluntary. Parents have been given the option to not have their child/children participate. Let your child's teacher know if you DO NOT want your child to participate. Another form can be sent home. We are keeping a list. Children who participate will have the choice as to which questions they want to answer.
To review the questions on each survey, please click each link below. Paper copies of these surveys are in our office for review. We hope that you choose to participate as we need your valuable input to make our school the best place to be for our students and staff!

In honor of Read Across America Day, students are invited to dress as their favorite character (remember to be school appropriate J ) and bring their favorite book on March 1, 2024.
On Friday, March 1 at 2:15, all students will drop everything and read one of their favorite books with a friend in their class.
Students will also be invited to stop by the share shelf in the hallway and take home any books they may want.
Wirt County Primary Center will soon be participating in the WV Department of Education's School Learning Environment Survey Program. If you DO NOT want your 3rd or 4th grader to participate, then please sign and send back the form that will be coming home with your 3rd & 4th graders. No other grades at the elementary level participate in the survey. The only identifiable information that the student shares is on the first question where all of our students will share the code for our school and then their grade, age and gender. The questions on the survey are shared in images on this post.
