Good afternoon, Today we had a report of some bugs and mice in our school. We contacted our pest management company as required per policy and reported what was found. They are following federal guidelines for pest management in a public school. At no point did we have an infestation. The Health Department also came and checked the school and reported no infestation. The pest management company serviced the school/classrooms, extra cleaning will be completed in the classrooms where the bugs were found, and the pest management company will follow up in a few days. There are several things we can do as a school to help manage pests in the building. 1. Keep all areas clean and free of clutter. Especially cardboard and food/crumbs. 2. Leave unnecessary items at home like blankets and pillows. These items carry the bugs to and from school. 3. Report bugs seen in the school to a custodian or administrator with a description and location. All these steps will reduce the available food source, limit transfer from one place to another, and allow us to properly manage the pests in the building.

Dear Boosters, The meeting with the WVDE on Tuesday evening brought about further discussion regarding items related to the establishment of non-profit groups outside of the schools in West Virginia. I have had a deeper conversation regarding some items I was not aware of when those groups became established, including what happens to the funds you have already spent countless hours raising for the support of our students. I now understand what we are asking, would not permit those funds to be transferred to your group and this is not fair to the hours you have spent or those who have donated to support your organization. Because of this we are going to stop our efforts to remove the booster groups from the school. I take full responsibility for this turnaround in my decision. The schools and counties I have served in were ones where these groups operated outside of the school, and I was moving towards that based on my previous experience. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you as we attempt to implement county policies to keep the system in good standing financially. If your group has already asked for permission to operate as a separate booster group outside of the school, please know we will still seek approval to operate in that manner. Sincerely, Christy Miller, Superintendent

Dear Senior Parents, It has come to the attention of Upshur County School officials and school administration that some senior parents are upset with the enforcement of Upshur County Board Policy 4006 related to attendance and not being released early to work. Mrs. Miller the state appointed superintendent has offered to meet with this group on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. in the school auditorium. She will have a copy of the policy available so as we walk through it together a better understanding will be developed around the many parts of this policy updated on March 21, 2023, by the Upshur County Board of Education.
