Attention Parents of Homeschool Students in grades 3-8 and 11:
It is that time of year to begin thinking about end-of-year testing. Assessments for homeschool students are required in grades 3, 5, 8, & 11. Monroe County Schools offers testing in the following grade levels: 3-8, & 11. There are different assessment options that are available for you to choose for your child/children. They are as follows:
1. Standardized Test given by a certified person/organization
2. Portfolio evaluated by a certified teacher
3. WVGSA State Test/SAT School Day (11th grade) - given to Monroe County Schools Students
If you choose the WVGSA/SAT School Day for the end of year assessment for your child/children, then please complete the link at the bottom to register. We must receive it no later than Friday, December 13, 2024. If you choose the WVGSA/SAT option, then your child/children's name(s) will be given to the school that they would be attending if they were enrolled in the public-school system. You will need to contact the Principal/Administrator of that school, and they will give you the testing dates for your child/children. Your child/children will report to that location on their scheduled test dates and complete the WVGSA/SAT along with the other students in the school.
If you should have any questions/concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will be glad to assist in any way that we are able. My contact information is as follows:
btuggle@k12.wv.us (Bobbie Tuggle, Director of Technology and Assessment Coordinator) (304) 646-1650
Thank you for your time, and I hope that everyone is having a great school year thus far!

James Monroe High School and Monroe County Schools have officially moved to Parchment! This is an online transcript-processing service we have implemented to make ordering transcripts easier. It will deliver your transcripts to recipients that you select in the format that you prefer quickly and efficiently. Transcripts cost $5 to electronically send to recipients, and $7.75 to send via standard mail. Expedited shipping can be paid for, as well.
NOTE: Current students do NOT need to pay the transcript fee, and can have transcripts sent for free.

We are currently collecting recipes for a Senior Cookbook to be sold as a fundraiser for Project Graduation. This will be a great keepsake for your seniors and will make great Christmas gifts. We ask that each Senior bring in at least one recipe. These can be their favorite recipe or a family member's favorite. Please turn these in no later than November 4th so that we can have them available by Mid December. They can be turned into Mr. Tom Gardinier at JMHS or emailed to Heather Clarkson @ heather.clarkson.29.11@gmail.com. Thank you so much for helping our Seniors.
Project Graduation planning and fundraising is well on the way for our Seniors. The next meeting will be November 13th at 6pm at JMHS. Senior Parents can also find updates by joining the Team Reach: Group Code JMHSClassof 2025 or Joining the Facebook Group Class of 2025 Project Graduation.
Introduction to Agriculture students from Monroe County Technical Center, Greenbrier East High School, and Greenbrier West High School met at the Willowbend Agriculture Innovation Center on Wednesday, October 30 for the first annual Agriculture Safety Day. Sponsored by the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program, a nationwide program, students rotated through 6 different stations to learn about 8 different safety topics offered by our team of volunteers. Topics covered included ATV safety, hearing and sun safety, tractor and PTO safety, lawn mower safety, and animal handling. Trained volunteers used a curriculum designed to help students understand how safety is vitally important on the farm. They were provided a pre-packed lunch by a donation from Collins Aerospace and each student received a Progressive Ag Safety Day T-Shirt. Thank you to everyone involved from instructor volunteers, to student volunteers, and students for a successful day and we are excited to host future safety days at the farm! If interested in sponsoring or donating to the safety day please contact Brian Wickline or Shawn Hill coordinators of the event for more information on how you can help make our farms safe for future generations!
