Attention Parents and Guardians of Students in 4th – 9th Grade!
Please watch out for a letter from your child’s school with important information regarding results from the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA).
You may access your student’s individual assessment results for the WVGSA on the Family Portal. An access code, along with information on how to log on to the Family Portal, is provided in the letter. You will also be able to access an individualized video score report for your child through the Family Portal.
The Family Portal will provide better access to student test results for parents/guardians. It will include detailed information about student performance in math, English language arts, and science -- as well as access to Lexile and Quantile measures and the Lexile/Quantile Growth Plan.
After reviewing your student’s assessment results, we encourage you to talk with his or her teacher to discuss your child’s academic progress.
If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school.

Back to School - Coaching for Parents
The Doddridge County Board of Education recognized three students who submitted winning designs in the West Virginia Department of Education’s Mathematical Habits of Mind Poster Contest at Monday night’s board meeting. The board recognized Grace Godfrey, Deshawn Hyde and A’kaia Williams for their designs along with High School math teacher Marcie Yeater. Godfrey, Williams and Yeater were present at the board meeting.
In an effort to include students’ voices in the launch of the Unite with Numeracy initiative, the WVDE held the contest last school year. More than 200 students from all grade levels submitted their ideas/artwork on the eight Mathematical Habits of Mind depicting how math is a part of everyday life. Judges selected winners, and their submissions were the inspiration for the final designs. Teachers throughout the state will display the posters in their schools and classrooms to promote the importance and impact of math.
Superintendent Scott Cochran said “We are extremely proud of our students’ success competing against other top schools in the state. Only one other high school had more than one winner and only Doddridge County had three winners.”
Other winning schools were: Morgantown High School, George Washington High School, Berkeley Springs High School, Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute, Hurricane Town Elementary School, and Bridgeport Middle School.
At the meeting A’Kai Williams led the pledge of allegiance.
