  • HERITAGE DAY
     
    C.W. Shipley celebrated the upcoming Sesquicentennial (150th Anniversary) of West Virginia Statehood by enjoying learning about how life was when West Virginia became a state on June 20, 1863.  All students rotated through stations including quilting, milking, country school, and square dancing thanks to Harpers Ferry National Park Rangers, food preservation and grocer thanks to Rob Griesbach from the USDA, blacksmithing thanks to Eric Johnson from Southwood Farm Forge, and story telling and singing thanks to Rick Garland of O' Be Joyful.  We also appreciate Mrs. Guiney for helping set up this day-long event and our SEA for funding it.

  • Summer Learning Challenge

    The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) has a challenge for you! The summer learning slide is a reality that many students deal with each year. One summer off can sometimes mean a whole school year of struggling academic performance. In an effort to keep students active and engaged all summer long, we have compiled a series of reading and math activities for students and launched the Summer Reading and Math Challenge. The WVDE has created a webpage, which includes tools and resources you can use to encourage students to read and practice their math skills. The challenge to keep children reading and doing math this summer is part of the West Virginia Department of Education's ongoing efforts to improve student achievement.  To try out these activities, click on the link below!

  • SAFETY AND SECURITY REMINDER
     
    This is a reminder of safety and security procedures at CW Shipley.  Please help us make sure that all children have a safe and secure environment to learn in every day.

    ·        Everyone entering the building (including parents bringing students inside the school or signing children out at the end of the day) must provide photo identification.

    ·        Front doors open at 8:30.  Please do not bring students to school prior to that time.

    ·        Doors open for parent pick-up at 3:35.  Please do not come early.

    ·        All visitors must report directly to the front office, provide identification, sign in, and receive a visitor’s badge.

    ·        Visitors/Parents are not allowed to go to classrooms after the 9:00 a.m. tardy bell rings.

    ·        If you ask somebody not on your child’s emergency form to pick them up, send a note to school including your contact information and expect to be called by school personnel to verify the authenticity of your note.

    ·        When entering the building, please do not hold the door open for visitors that have not pressed the call button.  Each visitor must press the call button and wait to be admitted after speaking with the receptionist.

    ·        The AlphaBest Before/After Care Program has a wireless doorbell to ring if you are checking students in or out of that program.

    ·        All after school programs (sports, scouts, etc.) will have a representative at the front doors to allow entrance.

    We would like to assure you that everyone at C.W. Shipley has the safety and welfare of your children as our priority.
