Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
In spring 2021, your student took the WVGSA or SAT School Day, which measures academic progress for students and schools in West Virginia.
Earlier this year you received a printed copy of your student’s individual student score report for the WVGSA or SAT School Day, which contained information regarding your student’s performance in the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding your student’s performance on the WVGSA or SAT School Day, in addition to the printed report you received, the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is providing an individual video score report for your student as part of a statewide pilot program.
A link to your student’s individual video score report will be sent to your student’s K12 student email address. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. Once you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your student’s date of birth to access the video report.
In addition to the report, you will have access to resources related to the WVGSA or SAT. After viewing the video report, we encourage you to talk with your child’s teacher to discuss your child’s academic progress.
Additionally, the WVDE requests that you complete a short survey to provide your feedback about the video score report, so improvements can be made for future reports. To access the survey, please click here, or enter this address in a web browser: https://forms.office.com/r/5uJPGAXEvL.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (304) 765-7101, extension 732.
Sincerely,
Linda Sears
Director of Teaching and Learning

Last night at the Braxton County Board of Education meeting, the board approved four PLC days for teachers. These four PLC dates will have a 2-hour early release time for students. The dates are 12.03.21, 01.07.2022, 02.04.2022 & 03.04.2022. Parents please mark your calendar.
The students at Flatwoods Elementary participated in a Fall Festival Costume Parade last week. Thank you to our parent volunteers and community members who helped organize this.
The 4th and 5th Grade Classes presented a Living Wax Museum. The students completed research projects on a person in history, and then dressed in costume as the person they chose. The students also prepared a short speech about their historical figure.
