📢 Attention Parents & Guardians
As we begin the new school year, please remember to complete and return your child’s Emergency Procedure Card as soon as possible. It is very important that guardian phone numbers and email addresses are accurate and up to date.
This year, the new WVEIS Parent Portal will be launched to replace LiveGrades, which was discontinued this summer by the WV Dept. of Education. Accurate guardian email information will ensure you receive parent/guardian access to your child’s academic progress/ information.
Emergency Procedure Cards will be sent home with students on the first day of school.
✅ Please return cards promptly so we can keep you connected and your child safe!

During the August 19th Board of Education meeting, members of the American Legion Post 12 of Grafton presented the Board of Education with framed copies of "In God We Trust" photographs, the result of a collaborative project involving Legion members and Ms. Nicki Skinner, to be displayed in each of the school system's facilities. Of special note regarding this gift is that the photograph of the American flag used to create the signs was taken of the flag that once flew above the Grafton National Cemetery. Special thanks to our local American Legion Post 12 members!

All traffic will enter on the right hand side and drive all the way around to lane 1 and line up accordingly in each row. All traffic for student pickup will start in the lower parking lot. No parking behind the school will be allowed for afternoon student pick up. Traffic from the lower lot will pull out @ 3:00 to begin up the hill and line up behind the school. No parking in the front of the school will be allowed for student drop off or student pickup in the AM or the PM. AM drop off will be in the back lot behind the school only and will begin at 7:15. Your cooperation and understanding will be greatly appreciated. Here's to a great year!
