Growth worth celebrating 📈🍎

We recently recognized several of our secondary teachers whose students showed the most growth on mid-year benchmark testing, and that growth doesn’t happen by accident.

Our teachers are always refining lessons, trying new strategies, and finding what works best for their students. Walk into classrooms across the county and you’ll see learning that’s active, engaging, and focused on helping every student move forward.

Elementary teachers and service personnel will be recognized at an upcoming meeting, too. When our whole school community works together, students grow. 💙

👩‍🏫 A full list of the teachers who were recognized is on our website. The link is in the comments!

Next level: unlocked. 🎮🐺

Each month, students at West Side Middle School who show growth on the GSA and middle of the year benchmark tests score an invite to the Wolf Den for the monthly Level Up Party.

The Wolf Den is the school's game room. Students who level up receive personalized Level Up cards engraved by students at Carver, lanyards, and other special perks. When students level up, they wear their progress proudly.

Leveling up is about progress, not perfection. At WSMS, hard work isn’t just recognized — it unlocks the next level. 💙📚

KCS on a two hour delay Tuesday, February 24th, 2026 due to weather.

Due to snowfall moving into our area and worsening road conditions, Kanawha County Schools will be closed today, Monday, February 23.

This is a traditional snow day. School-based staff do not report. All 261 employees may report up to two hours late. If you will be later than two hours, please contact your supervisor.

Because we have used all of our snow days, this closure will require a makeup day later in the school year. We will share that date once it is finalized.

We hope to see everyone back on Tuesday. Stay safe and stay warm. ❄️
