2024 WVGSA Student Assessment Results Available in Online Family Portal
Student assessment results for the 2024 West Virginia General Summative Assessment are now available in the online Family Portal.
Putnam County Schools will provide a unique access code for each student who took the WVGSA in grades 3-8. This code will allow students and their parents/guardians to access student test results by logging into the online Family Portal. We are sending this information through the student email address and the parent/guardian email address(es) on file for the student.
The Family Portal will provide better access to student test results for parents/guardians. It will include detailed information about student performance in math, English language arts, and science, as well as access to Lexile and Quantile measures and the Lexile/Quantile Growth Plan.
Additional resources to help explain student performance and to help parents and guardians provide support to their students will be included.
To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their student’s performance on the WVGSA, in addition to the results provided in the Family Portal, an individual video score report also is available. Putnam County Schools will also provide a unique link to each student’s video report in that same email.
Please look for this important email today, August 29, 2004, at 4:00pm. If parents and guardians need help in accessing the family portal or the video score report, they may contact their child’s school administrator(s).
Thank you!
Lynda Rumbaugh
Putnam County Test Coordinator
Hello,
Yearbooks will be in this fall. Ms. Marino will deliver to HHS and here at HMS. She has the ordered list.
All current 6th grade students are required to have the Tdap and meningococcal vaccines, a Health Check and Dental Exam prior to entry into the 7th grade (2023-24). Please consult your child’s healthcare providers or the local health department at 304.757.2541. PLEASE TURN IN YOUR CHILD’S IMMUNIZATION RECORD, HEALTH CHECK and DENTAL EXAM ASAP AFTER HE OR SHE RECEIVES these immunizations and exams. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Have a great evening.
Hello HMS.
The week of May 8th is state testing for all 3 grades. Please try to
rearrange any scheduled doctors’ appointments, so that your
child can be here to test. Additionally, please try to ensure that
your student arrives at school on time. We will begin testing by
8:15 am each morning, and the test is untimed. Get a good night's sleep and eat a
good breakfast. Good luck to all!
Good morning. Bus 1408 will not be running this morning. Thank you and have a great day.
Tomorrow Hurricane Middle School will be conducting a Lockdown drill as part of the Standard Response protocol that the district adopted last year for our Crisis Response Plans. This is a scheduled drill in partnership with the office of West Virginia Emergency Management as well as Hurricane Police Department. During Lockdown drills no one is permitted to come inside or go outside of the building. Please contact your school administrator if you do not want your child to participate in the drill. Again, this is just a drill. Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our students safe.
Hurricane Middle School and Putnam County Schools are committed to the education and safety of all our students and school staff. Essential to this commitment is open communication with our families and community about potential issues or misunderstandings when they arise.
At approximately 8:00 am this morning, an incident occurred involving a physical altercation between two students on the seventh-grade floor. The altercation was reported, deescalated, and appropriate disciplinary action was then taken.
It has since been brought to the administration's attention that rumors have been circulating regarding the reported incident. It is essential to share that no threat was made toward Hurricane Middle, nor were any weapons found on campus.
We want to thank our school community for helping HMS put a stop to unsubstantiated rumors.
Again, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, along with open and transparent communication. We appreciate the Hurricane Middle School leaders and law enforcement agencies who continue to help us keep our school safe.
Updated information. So as not to interfere with NJHS inductions.

They hope to see you there Tuesday night!

Dear Families:
Your student will be bringing home state assessment results today if he/she took the WV General Summative Assessment: grades 3-8, the WV Alternate Student Assessment: grades 3-8, or the SAT School Day exam for grade 11 last spring. In addition, you and your student will also be receiving an email with a link to a video score report for WVGSA or WV SAT only. The video link is being sent to the student email account and the parent email on file with your student. Please have your student check the student email account to find the link. Simply copy the link into your web browser and use your student’s birthdate to open the video score report. If you enter the birthdate incorrectly three times, the account will be locked.
If you do not receive printed score reports OR if you have difficulty opening the video report, please contact the school for assistance. You may also call the school if you need assistance in interpreting your student's score report.
Thank you and have a great day!

Wear your Sunday best. DO NOT BUY a FORMAL OUTFIT. You can wear jeans, leggings, dresses, dress pants, or capris as long as you meet the dress code for HMS.
One inch straps on all tops and dresses. Follow the dress code or you will not be allowed to attend.
Hello,
If you need to pick your child up early from school, please do so by 3:05. It is extremely difficult to gather students from class after that time for early release.
Hello,
Please make sure your student is following the county dress code. The dress code can be found in your child's planner. Those who cannot follow the dress code will be calling home for a change of clothes. While current fashion is nice it does not always meet the dress code for school. Thank you for your help.
Interested in trying out for baseball? See the attachment for more information. See Mr. Walls or Mr. Ragle for more information.
