Their students made strides. Last week, these teachers had their moment in the spotlight. 💙
At last week’s Board meeting, these middle and high school teachers were honored as Teachers of the Fourth Nine Weeks for last school year.
With test results recently returned, we’re celebrating the teachers whose students showed the most growth within their schools in math or English language arts (ELA). Middle school recognition was based on the General Summative Assessment (GSA), while high school recognition was based on the SAT.
👏 Congratulations to these teachers and their students! There’s a lot of hard work behind that progress, and it deserves to be celebrated.

Yesterday, students and staff across Kanawha County Schools wore gold to raise awareness of childhood cancer and show support for children and families affected by it. 💛
We’re sharing a few photos from two of our schools, with thanks to everyone who wore gold for a meaningful reason.

👟 4,300 pairs of shoes made their way to KCS schools this year thanks to Kids of Kanawha...that is double the number donated last year!
Kids of Kanawha raised the funds to provide shoes to every KCS middle and high school, along with 28 elementary schools. A huge thank-you goes to the local businesses, companies, and individuals who gave to this shoe drive to help make it happen.
Things like this matter. It’s a reminder to our students that people all across Kanawha County are in their corner. Rooting for them and supporting them. We’re so thankful for Kids of Kanawha and for a community that continues to show up for our schools.

🚌🚨 Bus number or route number? Start with the letters.
Every KCS route begins with a **two-letter abbreviation** identifying the high school feeder area. The numbers that follow identify the specific route.
🔴 Example route magnets (one from each feeder area) are pictured below.
SA - St. Albans High School feeder area
RH - Riverside High School feeder area
NH - Nitro High School feeder area
SH - Sissonville High School feeder area
CH - Capital High School feeder area
HH - Herbert Hoover High School feeder area
GW - George Washington High School feeder area
SC - South Charleston High School feeder area
This applies to every route in that feeder area, even if your child attends an elementary or middle school.
📍 **The KCS route number tells students which bus to board.**
🚌 **The bus number identifies the physical vehicle.**
➡️ On the right side of the bus, the passenger-door side, the permanent bus number is displayed near the front. Directly behind that number, students will see one or more **white KCS Route Number magnets.**
Every route magnet has a **white background.** The route’s letters and numbers are printed in a color representing the high school for that feeder area. The color is an additional visual cue, but students should match their complete route...both the letters and numbers.
🔢 The permanent bus number must remain visible, which is why both numbers appear on the bus.
👀 What if a bus has several magnets?
That means routes have been combined or the bus is transporting students to another bus. Students should look for their assigned route among the displayed magnets and follow directions from school staff.
Why did KCS make this change?
The bus number stays with the physical vehicle, but the route number stays with the route. If a different bus is needed because of maintenance, a breakdown, or another transportation need, students can continue looking for the same route instead of having to learn a different bus number.
This reduces the number of afternoon changes students, families and staff must track and helps dismissal run more smoothly.
The easiest reminder:
🔵 Start with the letters. Find the white magnet. Match the complete route. 🔵
