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!

Winfield Elementary New Morning Student Drop-Off Traffic Pattern For the safety of all in the Winfield community, our morning student drop-off pattern has been improved. Please see the attached map of an ariel diagram of the new route. In the past, vehicles have turned in a loop at the main office doors. However, the new turning loop is now located at the end of the baseball field at the picnic shelter. The two-lane road in front of the school (Wall Street) has been extended down the side of the baseball field to the picnic shelter where the loop is now located. Vehicles will no longer be allowed to turn around in a loop at the main office area. Orange cones will be in place to guide vehicles through the new morning drop-off route. Thank you in advance for your continued support! Mrs. Hatfield - principal

A Message from Putnam County Schools: We are pleased to inform you that students who took the West Virginia General Summative Assessment or SAT School Day in spring 2021 will receive an email at their K12 student email account on December 10, 2021, containing a link to an individual student video score report. Parents with emails on file with the school will also receive the link to the video score report. Although students received their printed score reports earlier this school year, the West Virginia Department of Education is piloting exciting new video score reports designed to be more engaging for students and their parents or guardians. Please have your student check his or her email account for the link, and parents and guardians should also check to see if it has been received. Simply copy and paste the link into your web browser and enter the student's date of birth to access the video score report customized specifically for the student. Also, be sure to check out the links to resources in the video report. If you have any difficulty accessing the report, please contact the school for assistance.
