🌿 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿 A gentle reminder: You are enough. 💚 Your feelings are valid, and you don’t have to go through anything alone. There is help, there is hope, and there are people who care. If you're struggling, support is available. Please reach out — your mental health matters.

Attention parents and guardians, you wil be able to see their students' (Grades 3-8) West Virginia General Summative Assessment results online this spring in the View My results site (https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/). For most students, the results of each test will be available 24 hours after completing the ELA, Math or Science tests. Once on the View My Results site, you will need to enter your student's 6 character unique code. Another letter will be sent home at the beginning of the week that contains your unique access code, in the case that you cannot locate yours. Use this link: https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/ to gain access to your student's results.

District Recognizes Holistic Child Champions During National Mental Health Awareness Week Doddridge County, WV – May 12–16 marks National Mental Health Awareness Week, a time to highlight the importance of mental well-being and to honor those who go above and beyond to support it. In recognition of this vital week, the Doddridge County Schools Holistic Child Team is proud to celebrate five exceptional staff members who have been named the 2025 Holistic Child Champions for Mental Health. These individuals have shown outstanding dedication to student wellness by serving as advocates, role models, and trusted adults within their school communities. Their commitment helps foster safe, supportive environments where students feel comfortable seeking guidance and mental health support. 🏅 2025 Holistic Child Champions for Mental Health: • Countywide – Cole Griffin • DCELA – Lisa Talkington • DCES – Myra Lipscomb • DCMS – Nicole Davis • DCHS – Rhonda Travis These staff members were nominated for consistently showing empathy, taking initiative to support students in need, and working closely with the Holistic Child Team to advance student mental health initiatives across the district. “We are incredibly grateful for the work these individuals do every day,” said Scott Cochran, Superintendent. “Their commitment to student well-being plays a critical role in creating safe, inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive.” As we observe Mental Health Awareness Week, Doddridge County Schools extends heartfelt thanks to these champions—and to all staff who support the mental and emotional health of our students each and every day. We would also like to thank the Doddridge County Family Resource Center for their donation of gifts to our nominees.
