🔴 PARENTS & GUARDIANS — PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CHECK YOUR CHILD
🏫 As we prepare to welcome students back to school, we are asking every parent and guardian to take a few minutes before sending your child to school to check them for any unusual sores, irritated areas, rashes, or other signs of a possible skin infection.
❗When in doubt, please have your child checked before sending them to school.
👩⚕️ If you have questions or concerns about your child returning to school, please contact the school nurse at your child's school. Our school nurses are available to help answer questions and provide guidance to our families.
Thank you, parents and guardians, for partnering with us and doing your part to help protect our students and staff.
✅ Please review the checklist below before your child returns to school.

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE — WYOMING COUNTY SCHOOLS
Wyoming County Schools would like to provide families and staff with the latest information regarding school operations.
The following three schools will remain CLOSED through Friday:
• Mullens Elementary & Middle School
• Wyoming East High School
• Westside High School
ServPro is continuing the cleaning and sanitation process at these three schools. Wyoming County Schools will also continue communicating closely with the Wyoming County Health Department as we move forward.
ALL OTHER WYOMING COUNTY SCHOOLS WILL RETURN TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Extracurricular activities may also resume tomorrow for schools returning to regular operations, provided those activities are not being held at Wyoming East High School or Westside High School.
All extracurricular activities involving or taking place at Wyoming East High School and Westside High School remain suspended at this time.
LOOKING AHEAD TO MONDAY
Our goal is for all Wyoming County Schools to resume normal operations on Monday. This will be contingent upon receiving satisfactory air quality assessments, completion of ServPro’s cleaning and sanitation process, and clearance from the Wyoming County Health Department.
Once those measures have been completed and the appropriate clearance has been received, all schools and extracurricular activities will resume normal operations on Monday.
We appreciate the patience, understanding, and cooperation of our students, staff, families, and community. We know these changes can be disruptive, but the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.
We will continue to keep our families and staff informed and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
For questions, please contact the Wyoming County Schools Central Office at 304-732-6262
