Trunk or Treat
September 19, 2022
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
In spring 2022, your student took the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA), which measures academic progress for students and schools in West Virginia. Students in Grades 3-8 took the English language arts (ELA) reading, ELA writing, and mathematics sections of the test, with students in Grades 5 and 8 also taking science.
You received a printed copy of your student’s individual student score report for the WVGSA, which contains information regarding your student’s performance in the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding your student’s performance on the WVGSA, in addition to the printed report you received, the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is providing an individual video score report for your student as part of a statewide pilot program. This should be available September 21, 2022.
A link to your student’s individual video score report will be sent to your student’s K12 student email address. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. Once you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your student’s date of birth to access the video report.
In addition to the report, you will have access to resources to help your student. After viewing the video report, we encourage you to talk with your child’s teacher to discuss your child’s academic progress.
Additionally, the WVDE requests that you complete a short survey to provide your feedback about the video score report, so improvements can be made for future reports. To access the survey, please enter this address in a web browser: https://forms.office.com/r/qYwSvRkzit.
If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school.
Sincerely,
Jamison Fisher, Assessment Coordinator
Taylor County Schools

Important Medication Reminders for All Students!
Medications MUST be dropped off at the school by a guardian.
Also:
If your child requires a rescue asthma inhaler, Epi-pen, glucagon, insulin, seizure rescue medication, or other emergency medication at school, then the school nurse must receive the medication and the medication order form prior to the first day of the new school year to ensure your child can attend school safely.
Our school does not dispense any over the counter or prescription medications (including ointments, inhalers, oral medications and eye drops) without a current written Medication Order Form from a licensed physician or health care provider.
All physician orders MUST be renewed at the beginning of the school year.
Important Immunization Reminder for 7th & 12th Grade Students!

All students entering 12th grade are required to provide documentation of receiving 1 TDAP and 2 meningococcal vaccines prior to starting school August. *If a student received their first meningococcal vaccine after turning age 16 then only 1 meningococcal vaccine is required.
