We are so proud of 6th grader, Ellie Casenelli, who won 3rd place in the West Virginia State Young Writers Contest! Congratulations!

Wirt County Middle School was proud to partner with the Elizabeth Volunteer Fire Department to donate nearly $500 of cleaning supplies that will be delivered to victims of flooding in southern West Virginia!

Just a reminder that Spring Pictures are Thursday, March 20th at WCMS. If you wish to have your child get their picture taken, please tell them. We do not make every student get these pictures. Pictures will be taken in the morning.

We are ready to celebrate student success with our bowling and skating trips tomorrow! 📢 Before we leave, ALL STUDENTS will be walking to the firehouse to drop off supplies we collected for the donation drive. Please make sure students are on time to school so they dont miss the drop off! We will be outside for approximately 30 minutes, so make sure students dress warmly tomorrow! Here are a few reminders for students attending the trips: ⚫️ There will be concessions available at both locations tomorrow. We are taking school lunch for everyone! ⚫️ All students going on both trips need to wear socks! Students who are skating should wear tall socks if possible. ⚫️ Students who are bowling will also be allowed to play games in the arcade. ⚫️ Students will be allowed to have their cell phones on the trip but must use them responsibly! ⚫️ All trips should return to the school by 2:15 p.m.

Permission forms for the March 18th WCMS PBIS Rewards Trips went home today with students. Forms are due back by March 12th! 7th/8th graders will choose from bowling or roller skating and 5th/6th graders will be roller skating. COST: To help those in the southern part of our state affected by recent flooding, we are collecting cleaning supplies. To participate in the trip, students are asked to donate ONE cleaning item or contribute $3 to be donated to the Wirt Volunteer Fire Department to purchase cleaning supplies. We will be attaching positive, encouraging messages to the supplies before they are sent to those in need.

The 5th grade popcorn and cotton candy orders will be at school on Monday! Just a reminder students need to pick up their orders and deliver them.

Our students spent January and February reviewing our school wide expectations during their advisory classes. Students then worked collaboratively to create images and videos showcasing positive behaviors and expectations. A winner from each grade was chosen and we want to share those with parents! We encourage parents to ask your child about the WCMS ROCKS expectations and what it means to them while giving your child a chance to earn LiveSchool points! This weeks featured winner is Mrs. Romage's 5th grade class. 🌟If you comment on this post with your child's first name and last initial and one HALLWAY expectation you and your child discussed, your student will earn 5 LiveSchool points for parent involvement!
