Third Grade Lucky Duck winners were drawn today. Check out the AWESOME prizes they took home!
Being on time on testing days = a chance to pick a duck + possibly win a prize. Let’s help our students waddle in on time and give their best effort on testing!🦆
Thank you for partnering with us to support attendance, testing and success.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 28, is the first day of mandated state testing for our 3rd and 4th grade students.
To help your child be successful, please remember:
A good night’s sleep tonight
A healthy breakfast (at home or at school)
On-time arrival so students can test with their classmates and be eligible for the Lucky Duck drawing 🦆

Try their best
Work carefully and take their time
Review answers before submitting
The test is not timed, and students will have the entire school day to complete it. ✏️

Our school bus drivers play a vital role in our community by safely getting our students to and from school every day—rain, shine, and early mornings included.

Hello, Primary Center friends!
It’s me, the Attendance Tiger, and I’m purr‑oud to announce that I’m spending this week in Mrs. Shears’ class!
Why, you ask? Because these amazing students showed excellent attendance last week, and that deserves a BIG round of tiger applause! 🐾
This week, I’ll be my very best self—supportive, calm, and extra quiet—while our students work hard during testing. I’m hoping my presence helps ease any test jitters and reminds them just how capable and confident they are.
I am so proud of Mrs. Shears’ class and their commitment to coming to school every day. Hopefully I will be able to curl up in their classroom again before school ends.
Keep up the fantastic attendance, Primary Center! 🐯

Wirt County Primary Center had a very special guest today — The Wirt County High School Tiger, aka Wyatt Goodnight! 🐯
Wyatt shared a heartfelt story about a special tiger given to him by his grandmother when he was young — a memory that stayed with him and meant so much over the years. Wanting to pass that same joy along, Wyatt chose an incredible Senior Project: putting a tiger in the hands of every Primary Center student.
With amazing community support, Wyatt didn’t just meet his goal — he exceeded it, collecting over 1,000 tigers! Our students were thrilled to receive their new tiger friends and to see THE WIRT TIGER up close and personal.
Thank you, Wyatt, for your community spirit, generosity, and kind heart. Maybe one of our students will now have a special place in their heart for a tiger too! 💛🖤

Our students will begin the WV General Summative Assessment (WVGSA) soon. Testing is online and untimed, and students are encouraged to do their very best!
