We’re excited for all the opportunities that September brings for our Webster County Schools families. From upcoming events and family engagement opportunities to helpful tips and fun fall activities, there’s something for everyone.
Attention parents/guardians of students who have an IEP: The WVDE invites you to participate in a Special Education Parent/Guardian Survey. The survey is available at https://forms.office.com/r/mZwqwd0N65. If you would like a hard copy to complete, please contact your child's school or the Office of Special Education at the Webster County Board of Education at (304) 847-5638 ext. 2207 or 2210.
Did your family attend a Webster County Schools back-to-school event, such as Open House or Orientation? We’d love to hear from you!
Please take a few minutes to complete our Back-to-School Event Survey and share your feedback. Your input helps us celebrate what went well and identify ways we can make these events even better for our students and families.

We’re excited to introduce Webster County Schools Family Engagement Bingo! This is a fun and simple way for families to get involved, spend time together, visit our schools and community, and have a little fun along the way!
How does it work?
Bingo cards will be available for families to pick up at school Open Houses or at any of our participating schools.
Each time your family completes an activity on the bingo card, you’ll be able to get a stamp to mark your space.
Every Webster County school will have its own official stamp, and the Cowen Public Library and Webster Springs Public Library will also have an official stamp.
Important: Only the official Webster County Schools Family Engagement Bingo stamps from these locations will be accepted on your bingo card.
Why are we doing this?
Our goal is to make family engagement fun, positive, and easy to participate in! We hope this activity will encourage families to:
Spend more quality time together
Get involved in school activities
Visit and connect with our schools
Explore our local community
Encourage positive school attendance
Create fun memories together
We hope you’ll join us and make Family Engagement Bingo a family activity throughout the school year!
Ready to play? Grab your bingo card at Open House or at one of our schools and get started!
Let’s see how many families can get BINGO!
Check out the information below for 7th Grade Move Up Night and Freshman Academy. We look forward to seeing our students and families as we get ready for a great 2026–2027 school year!
Be Present. Be a Highlander!
Every student-past or present-has a teacher, counselor, coach, bus driver, aide, administrator, custodian, cafeteria employee, secretary, or other school staff member who made a lasting impact on their life. Whether it was a word of encouragement, a lesson that inspired you, or a simple act of kindness, those moments matter.
This year, to kick off the start of a new school year, we want to highlight those stories and celebrate those who are working to make a difference. We're inviting current students, past graduates, families, and community members to share a story or write a letter recognizing an educator or school employee who made a difference in your life.
By clicking the link https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/DhNpAsfbSP or scanning the QR code, we are hoping you can share your story and tell us:
Who made a difference in your life?
How did they encourage, support, or inspire you?
What is one memory that has stayed with you over the years?
What would you like them to know today?
Your submission may be featured on our website, social media pages, newsletters, or shared directly with our school staff as part of our celebration of the incredible people who make our schools special.
A few heartfelt sentences or longer stories are both welcome. Every message is an opportunity to remind an educator that the work they do each day truly changes lives, so thank you for helping us celebrate the school employees who inspire, encourage, and make a difference.
Don't forget about these FREE community events!
