Today is the end of the Wirt County Primary Center fundraiser. Please send orders in today or tomorrow. Thank you for your support. We hope to have fun activities with these funds!
Good evening, this is John McKown, Wirt County Schools superintendent. In light of recent social media post that are circulating threatening schools in West Virginia I am calling to let parents, students, and staff members know that we are aware of this and are in contact with local and state law enforcement concerning these posts. At this time, there has not been a direct threat to Wirt County Schools. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority and every threat is taken seriously and fully investigated.
Thank you to the parents that have reported these posts to us. Please continue to do so if you see something concerning. We are working with law enforcement to have an increases police presence at school tomorrow and in the days that follow until the source of these posts is found and dealt with by law enforcement.
Come join us and share your input on September 11 at 3:30 pm for our Fall Parent Advisory Committee Meeting. Learn about what is going on at Wirt County Primary Center and how you can help be a part of it!
Enjoy your holiday. You earned it!
Get those smiling kids and cute clothes ready for Picture Day on September 11!

Wirt County Primary Center is excited to announce that we were able to purchase new headphones for every student from kindergarten through 4th grade. Responsible use of technology is part of the expectation of students when using school equipment. We will be holding students accountable for the care of their new headphones as we do with ipads and computers. Your child's teacher will discuss the importance of being careful with school technology. We encourage parents/guardians to do the same.
Please be aware that starting this school year, we will begin charging parents/guardians $5 for students' broken headphones, just as parents/guardians may be charged by the school system for broken screens, computers or ipads. You will be contacted by your child's classroom teacher about any breakages as soon as possible, so that you will not be surprised by the arrival of a bill for $5 headphones from the Wirt County Board of Education Office.
PARENTS:
We are ready to dance in the new school year with our students!
Your children will be bringing permission slips home tomorrow to attend a school dance. Permission slips MUST be returned to school by Thursday, August 22nd, so we can be adequately prepared for the students in attendance.
See you there!
As we start the new school year, we would like to ask that parents and guardians of students not use the parking spots designated for the Wellness Center to pick up children or visit the school. The Wellness Center has limited parking spots and needs them to help serve those requiring medical services.
Thank you for your kind consideration and understanding.
Wirt County Primary Center starts school promptly at 8 am. We have morning announcements right at 8 am, while teachers quickly take attendance, get the lunch count, and check folders for notes. Some classes have physical education or specials following announcements, while others may have Reading or Math. It is important to get your child to school on time, so he or she doesn't miss any of the fun or academics.
Breakfast starts at 7:30 am in the cafeteria, except for prek & kindergarten who eat in their rooms. Students go to their classrooms for morning announcements.
SCHOOL DISMISSALS will be on the same schedule as they were last year.
If you are picking your child up out front, please park in the GRAVEL LOT and come to the fence near the Prek playground to get your child. Back door pickups will not be allowed to leave until a parent or approved guardian is seen by the adult responsible for the children.
2:45 PreK pickups will be dismissed out the Prek doors.
2:50 Kindergarten and Back Door pickups will be dismissed.
2:55 1st & 2nd grades pickups will be dismissed.
3:00 3rd & 4th grades pickups will be dismissed.
2024-2025 Bus Line Up with Drivers' Names
For the safety of our students, we ask that you only drop off your children in the gravel parking lot and at the back door. We will also have pick up of students available in the same areas.
Our bus drivers use the front parking lot & entrance for dropping off and picking up our students, so we ask that you avoid this area in the mornings and at pick up time.
Thank you for your cooperation with this process.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:
To maintain a secure environment, we will only be permitting parents to walk their children to their classrooms on the FIRST day of school. The safety of our students is one of our main priorities at the Wirt County Primary Center. While we realize that parents and students are excited and nervous about the start of school, we need to limit the number of people in the building during school hours to keep our environment safe and secure.
Thank your for your understanding and cooperation.
Rest up and get your new school clothes ready! School starts soon! The teachers and staff are looking forward to seeing all of our students on Thursday!
Nurse Kelly has asked us to share medication and immunization requirements.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our Open Houses!
Welcome to Wirt County Primary Center, Prek students! We look forward to meeting you at open house and seeing you on your first day of school!
