This school year, Wetzel County Schools is proud to provide ALL school supplies for our students, along with FREE breakfast, lunch, and supper! We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed without added financial burdens on families. These programs are possible because our community continues to support and invest in public education. Public schools are where the heart is, and we are so thankful for the incredible heart and support found throughout Wetzel County. #ILoveWestVirginiaPublicSchools Together, we inspire minds, achieve goals, and succeed together.

Our mission is clear: to celebrate, strengthen, and advocate for West Virginia's public schools.

Public schools provide our students with countless opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. Through the I Love West Virginia Public Schools campaign, we will showcase the incredible work happening in our classrooms every day, recognize the dedication of our outstanding educators and staff, and celebrate the achievements of our amazing students.

Together, we are building brighter futures, strengthening our communities, and reminding everyone why West Virginia's public schools are something to be proud of.

Together We Inspire Minds, Achieve Goals, and Succeed Together.

Holiday Office Hours Reminder

New Martinsville School staff members recently had the opportunity to attend the Model Schools Conference 2026, where they joined educators from across the country to learn, reflect, and bring back innovative strategies to support student success. Throughout the conference, NMS staff members participated in sessions focused on strengthening instruction, improving school culture, increasing student engagement, and supporting the needs of all learners. The experience provided staff with new ideas, practical tools, and a renewed passion for the important work happening every day at New Martinsville School. “Our staff is always looking for ways to grow and improve for our students,” said Stacey Walton, Principal of New Martinsville School. “The Model Schools Conference gave us the chance to learn from others, reflect on our own practices, and return with fresh energy and strategies that will directly benefit our students and school community.” In addition to professional learning, NMS staff also used their break time during the conference to complete a service project. Staff members packed back-to-school pencil pouches for students, helping ensure they have supplies ready for the upcoming school year. This act of service reflects the heart of New Martinsville School—learning together, serving together, and always keeping students at the center of the work. New Martinsville School is excited to bring these new strategies, ideas, and renewed enthusiasm back to the classrooms and hallways of NMS as staff continue working together to help every Eagle soar.

Summer Boost at New Martinsville School! Our upcoming first graders have been hard at work during Summer Boost! Students practiced identifying and ordering upper- and lowercase letters, as well as numbers 0–9 in both ascending and descending order. They also enjoyed reading The Sandwich Swap, where they discussed vocabulary, cause and effect, and the consequences of our actions. Learning is even more fun when it includes great conversations and opportunities to grow together!

Summer is the perfect time to relax, explore, and discover new adventures through reading! Make sure you keep reading throughout the summer.
