📢 Doddridge County Schools Announces 24/7 Student Crisis Line Through New Partnership with Gaggle ReachOut
Doddridge County Schools is excited to announce a new partnership with Gaggle ReachOut, bringing a 24/7 student crisis line to our district. This important resource includes both a phone hotline and live chat, offering students immediate access to trained, caring professionals—anytime, anywhere.
Today’s students value personal connection, and the Gaggle ReachOut service provides just that. Whether a student is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply needs someone to talk to, help is available at the very moment it’s needed most.
Parents and guardians can also call the crisis line to share concerns or work through an issue, ensuring that families have support when navigating challenging situations.
This partnership also helps the district better support our students. Regular, anonymous usage reports will give us meaningful insight into the challenges our student community is facing, allowing us to respond proactively and effectively.

County Mental Health Coordinator

🍎🌽 Attendance Matters in Doddridge County Schools! 🥦🥔
This week, students from both Doddridge County Early Learning Academy and Doddridge County Elementary School participated in a fun and meaningful on-site Farmer’s Market — part of our district-wide attendance incentive program!
Thanks to a valuable partnership with our Holistic Child Department/Communities In Schools Team, Route 18 Farmer’s Market, and the Doddridge County Farmer’s Market, students were rewarded for showing up ready to learn with tokens and shopping bags to “shop” for fresh, local produce. 🛍️🍏🎃
From cabbage, peppers, and pumpkins to apples, potatoes, and more, students were thrilled to choose their own fruits and veggies — many excited to bring them home and help prepare a family meal! 🥗👩🍳
We are incredibly thankful to our community partners for their time and generosity, and for helping us promote healthy habits and the importance of school attendance across Doddridge County.
