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.
Good evening,
We are aware students are having trouble accessing courses at Pierpont and are working to resolve the problems. We are meeting tomorrow morning with all the Dual Credit students to make sure get the information we need to help resolve the access issues. Parents are welcome to attend this meeting. We will start at 8:00 in the auditorium. Parents need to sign in the office before entering the auditorium.
B-UHS students are required to have a completed Acceptable Use Policy and Media Release form each school year before receiving their MacBook. Parents, please complete the following forms/links. Thank you.
