Attention Families and Community Members of Braxton County Schools
Good Morning,
In partnership with the WVDE and Maverick Health, BCS is excited to be offering free Covid testing at Braxton County High School on 12/30/21 from 7:30am-1:30pm. The clinic will be a drive-thru clinic. Students and staff are priority for testing, but family members and community members are also able to test free.
The test is a saliva sample PCR test with an estimated 24-hour turnaround time. Hopefully, the testing will allow an opportunity to identify cases prior to return on 1/3/22.

COVID Testing Information
To the students, parents and families of BCS,
Early this morning, I received a potential threat and made an immediate decision to close schools. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The safety, health and well-being of our students and staff is priority. I would like to especially thank state and local law enforcement for their speedy assistance and response.
Thank you, Superintendent Hypes

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
