Wetzel County Schools

Our students had a wonderful snow day.

The holidays can bring stress from gift preparation, family dynamics, weather changes, and unrealistic expectations (like perfect decorations or gifts), which can worsen or trigger mental health issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders. However, coping strategies or professional help can ease this stress. Managing expectations and prioritizing realistic goals- rather than perfection, can make the season more manageable.

If interested, kindly RSVP by calling 304-455-2441, extension 123.

Due to the forecast of inclement weather, all Wetzel County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, December 2.
