2026 CCS Summer Camp Survey
As our Juniors prepare for SAT School Day, here’s a quick look at the three key score benchmarks that matter for West Virginia students:
• WV Grade 11 Proficiency – Scores that show students are meeting WV State Standards
• SAT College & Career Readiness – Scores linked to success in first‑year college courses, and career fields that require strong reading, writing, and quantitative reasoning ( technical programs, apprenticeships, workforce training, military pathways.)
• PROMISE Scholarship Eligibility – Scores required for West Virginia’s merit‑based scholarship
These benchmarks help families, students, and educators understand progress, plan next steps, and celebrate achievements.
Remember to support our Juniors as they work toward their goals this spring!
Aspire Update: In order to help make up the days missed and to be closer to the 110-day requirement,
afterschool will extend after the original end day of April 30 to include: May 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, and 14.
Please help us celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our Calhoun County High School basketball student-athletes this season.
👏 Chase Schoolcraft has earned 1st Team LKC honors for his outstanding performance on the court.
👏 Cooper Morris and Micah Allen have both been named LKC Honorable Mention, recognizing their dedication, skill, and contributions to the team.
We are proud of these students for their commitment, teamwork, and representation of Calhoun County High School. Congratulations to all three on a well-deserved achievement!

Any student planning to earn a trade certificate, a two-year college degree, or a four-year college degree should attend the free workshop.
Students planning to attend college in the fall of 2026 should try to complete the FAFSA before April 15 to be considered for the West Virginia Higher Education Grant. To be considered for the Promise Scholarship.
Students and parents can learn more about financial aid by visiting the state’s free college and career-planning website at CFWV.com.
📢 Parent Update: CyberSWAT Online Safety Lessons
West Virginia now requires all public schools to provide annual online‑safety instruction for students in grades 3–12 under Senate Bill 466. Parents who would like to read the bill can find it here:
Senate Bill 466
To meet this requirement, our students will be completing CyberSWAT Skyll lessons—interactive, age‑appropriate sessions that teach safe and responsible technology use.
These lessons address several important topics, including:
Recognizing online predators
Understanding the risks of sexting or sharing explicit materials
Cyberbullying prevention
Human trafficking awareness
Safe use of online communication platforms
How to identify, avoid, and report dangerous or illegal online behavior
The parent letter has been sent home with 6-12th grade students and will be sent home with grades 3-5 next week. It explains that the SWAT program provides interactive lessons focused on digital literacy and online safety.
Parents can preview a sample lesson here:
CyberSWAT Sample Lesson
Thank you for partnering with us to help keep students safe as they navigate today’s digital world.
Bus 21 will be delayed due to a line down on Sassafras. This will require the bus to back track, creating a 30 min delay for students who live on Russett/Rt 7.
