☀️ Quick Spring Break challenge.
Spring Break is here.
Which means two things:
⏰ No alarms.
💨 🐢 Time somehow moves both fast and slow at the same time.
So instead of letting the week just… disappear… we’re trying something simple.
Not homework.
Not a packet.
Not a 47-step challenge.
Just five small Side Quests.
One per day.
Quick. Doable. Anywhere.
Elementary, middle, high...everyone can play.
Each weekday we’ll post:
🔵 One Side Quest
🔵 One secret word
🔵 Zero pressure
Collect all five words and on Friday you’ll unlock the Main Quest.
No prizes.
No sign-ups.
Just bragging rights… and maybe a feature.
Spring Break starts Monday.
Let’s see who’s playing.
We’re also sharing a Side Quest Bingo board. Complete just one square or go for bingo and see how many you can check off this week. Which one will you try first?
Tag a friend, classmate, or family member who should try a Side Quest with you.

Due to snowfall moving into our area and worsening road conditions, Kanawha County Schools will be closed today, Monday, February 23.
This is a traditional snow day. School-based staff do not report. All 261 employees may report up to two hours late. If you will be later than two hours, please contact your supervisor.
Because we have used all of our snow days, this closure will require a makeup day later in the school year. We will share that date once it is finalized.
We hope to see everyone back on Tuesday. Stay safe and stay warm. ❄️

Please take your time traveling, stay safe, and we’ll see everyone two hours later than normal. ❄️

❄️ KCS Weather Update - Remote Learning ❄️
Due to snow that is forecasted to begin falling by mid-morning and making dismissal unsafe, Kanawha County Schools is going to err on the side of caution and use our last remote learning day tomorrow, Friday, February 6th.
Students should have already been given work that can be completed offline. If the work was not downloaded, it is available in Schoology. If a student is unable to access their work due to no power or internet, the work may be completed later and turned in as makeup work.
Teachers will be available during normal school hours to provide assistance as needed.
Thank you for your continued patience, flexibility, and support this week. Stay safe, stay warm, and we hope to see everyone Monday. Have a great weekend.

❄️ KCS Weather Update 2-Hour Delay ❄️
Due to poor road conditions in parts of the county, Kanawha County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, February 5.
The two-hour delay allows our transportation department additional time to assess road conditions across the county and eliminates the need for an early-morning call.
There is a possibility this could change to a remote learning day. If that happens, families will receive an update Thursday morning (but not at 4:55 a.m.)
Our hope is to remain on a two-hour delay. Thank you for your patience and understanding. ❄️🚌

❄️ Huge thanks to the City of South Charleston crews who were out bright and early today clearing snow and ice from our schools in South Charleston - because winter is clearly feeling very committed this year. ☃️
They do this just about every time it snows, and we can’t say thank you enough. With more than 60 buildings across the district and snow showing up like it’s on a schedule, that extra help is a big deal.
Their support helps our KCS maintenance teams keep it moving and head on to other schools, so more sidewalks, lots, and entrances get cleared faster. Teamwork for the win. 💪❄️
