Dear Parents or Guardians,
Students in grades 5-8 have been completing their GSA tests this week. If your child has completed both the Reading (5/5/25) and Writing (5/7/25) tests, you should now have access to those scores through the "Parent Portal".
Please note, up to 5% of test scores may be held by West Virginia Department of Education to be hand scored.
The instructions for accessing the "Parent Portal", including your child's unique Parent Portal access code, have been sent to your child's school email. If you need assistance in accessing this email, please contact your child's teacher or school Principal.
Students are working on completing their GSA Math tests today (5/8/25). Most Math scores should be visible tomorrow. If you have any questions, please contact your child's school.
We would like to thank all our school nurses for helping support and take care of our students. We appreciate everything you do for our students.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We would like to thank all of our teachers for going above and beyond to support our students daily. We appreciate all your hard work.
