Good evening - I hope everyone had a great first day of school and is ready to make the second day even better.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
Good evening, this is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. I'm excited to welcome you on Tuesday, August 19th, to a new school year filled with promise and anticipation.
It's important to take a moment to celebrate our recent accomplishments. Jackson County Schools continue to be a leader in academics across the state. Last year, our fifth-grade students—now sixth graders—ranked number one in West Virginia for English and Math on the General Summative Assessment. Fairplain Elementary is now a top 10 elementary school in the state, and seven of our eleven schools achieved their highest academic marks ever in English or Math. This is a tremendous achievement and a testament to the hard work of our students, staff, and community.
We are truly blessed to have such dedicated employees, supportive communities, and remarkable students. I firmly believe in the power of public education to provide hope and more opportunities for our students than any other form of schooling. We accept the high standards we're held to every day, knowing that our commitment to accountability sets us apart from other options. Thank you, parents, school employees, and community members, for making Jackson County a great place to learn and grow.
This year, your child's opening day packet will include a letter explaining new legislative laws as well as hard-copy forms you need to return to school. Digital forms are available on our website. As always, I appreciate your patience on the first day of school as we work to make everything run smoothly. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement as we begin another exciting year.
Have a wonderful evening.
