🌿 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.
