On Friday, July 15, 2022 the West Virginia Department of Education launched WVEIS 2.0, which is a new computer platform that all school systems in WV utilize for a number of purposes, including student scheduling, attendance, and enrollment. As our principals, counselors, and secretaries continue to learn the new system and receive training from WVDE, we ask that families be patient and kind. As you receive your child’s schedule for 2022-23, please report any concerns or pose questions to your school’s counselor or administration. Our administrators are back in buildings and our counselors and secretaries return to day-to-day operations on August 16th.
