Braxton County School District

Communities In Schools hosted their annual Braxton County Community Connection event on Friday, September 19, at BCHS, drawing the largest crowd in the event’s history. With record-breaking participation from community organizations, families, and schools, the evening was filled with excitement and celebration! Families enjoyed the interactive demonstrations, numerous giveaways, and a special presentation by the BCHS band! Following the event, students who scored mastery or above on their 2024-25 GSA, were recognized prior to the Eagles football game. Earlier, BCHS fall sports athletes presented those students merchandise generously sponsored by People’s Bank. Braxton County Schools has shown significant academic progress, moving from 41st place to 30th place in state rankings! “It was wonderful to see so many organizations and schools come together to connect families with local resources,” said Susan Schiefer, CIS Liaison. “The success of this event shows the strength of our community’s support for students." Communities In Schools extends a thank-you to everyone that contributed to the success of the event.

Attendance Matters!

From August 18 to October 7, 2025 our countywide chronic absenteeism (excused and unexcused absences) rate is 14.2%. Our goal this year is for all schools to decrease chronic absenteeism by 3% or more from last school year and we’re off to a strong start!
We’re excited to see our students every single day ... learning, growing, and making memories together. Consistent attendance builds good habits, stronger relationships, and a brighter future.

"Showing up is the first step to success!"

🌟 Attendance Matters Every Day! 🌟

Did you know that students who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed in reading and math, stay on track for graduation, and build strong habits for life? Everyday counts—missing just 2 days a month adds up to 18 days a year!

✅ Daily attendance builds responsibility.
✅ Daily attendance helps students stay connected with teachers and friends.
✅ Daily attendance sets the foundation for future success.

Let’s work together to make sure our students are in school, on time, every day. Their future is too important to miss!
