Notice of the change in time for the family-teacher conferences in October.
Our hearts are with every student, staff member, family, and community member who has been impacted by the recent flooding—not only here in Upshur County, but also in our neighboring counties and school districts facing unimaginable challenges.
In times like these, we are reminded that our communities are connected. We celebrate together, we grieve together, and we stand together. While the road to recovery may be difficult, we know the resilience, compassion, and determination of West Virginians will carry us forward.
If you or your family need support, please know that Buckhannon-Upshur High School is here to help. Whether it’s connecting you with resources, offering encouragement, or simply being someone to lean on, don’t hesitate to reach out.
We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, school employees, and countless community members who have worked tirelessly to protect lives, support families, and begin the recovery process. Your selflessness is an inspiration to us all.
Please continue to check on your neighbors, lend a helping hand where you can, and keep all those affected across our region in your thoughts and prayers.
To our friends in every community affected: We stand with you. You are not alone.
Together, we will recover. Together, we will rebuild. Together, we will come back stronger.
