Ribbon Cutting

5th grade students had the opportunity to have class in the stream this week! Friends from Experience Learning came from Spruce Knob to do different activities in and out of the classroom involving freshwater ecosystems.

5th Grade students were able to play in the dirt during science class. Friends from the Cacapon Institute and Experience Learning came to help the students to prepare the trees in the grow-out station for winter.

This year we will be using the West Virginia Education Information System instead of Live Grades. This program will not only allow you to view your student's grades but also their attendance and discipline data. After setting up your account, use this link to check your child's grades: https://grant.sis.k12.wv.us/ptl.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawFhfSpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHWfmkswzGe8jQvHFzUu3K9Y9qsyXQ5TvxHYfjTcKr-lGBrYh_nSenvALcA_aem_iNrjq9nJUK4RFlWfVQsILw
