Our service personnel are an invaluable and integral part of our school system. From keeping our students safe and well-fed to maintaining our schools, supporting classrooms, transporting students, and ensuring our schools operate smoothly each day—their work makes a difference.
Today, we proudly recognize and thank our service personnel for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to the students and families of Fayette County Schools.
Every role matters. Every contribution counts. We are One Fayette County.

Dear Fayette County Families,
We are excited to announce the launch of Attendance Pro, a new communication tool designed to make tracking and reporting student attendance easier and more efficient for our families. This will begin on Monday, August 31, 2026.
What You Need to Know:
School-Specific Phone Numbers: Each school now has a dedicated, unique phone number used exclusively for attendance text alerts and automated updates. Please check your school’s website or social media page for your school’s designated number.
Text-Only Communication: You can notify the school of upcoming absences in advance by sending a text to your school’s unique number. Please note: This number is automated and cannot receive incoming voice calls.
Easy Note & Excuse Submission: When you receive an attendance notification, simply tap the secure link provided in the message or email. From there, you can:
Submit a written explanation/parent note directly from your phone.
Upload photo attachments or digital copies of doctor/medical excuses.
Send a message directly to your school’s attendance team.
WV State Policy Reminder: In accordance with West Virginia State Code, all absence excuses (parent notes or medical excuses) must be submitted within 3 school days of your student’s return to school.
Please ensure your child’s school has your most up-to-date cell phone number and email address on file so you receive these important notifications without delay.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s education and regular school attendance.
Sincerely,
Fayette County Schools

A tradition for WV 8th graders continues! Looking forward to Knighting ladies and gentleman. Which schools can boast the winners?
There will be a campus wide lockdown drill on the Oak Hill campus this morning. This is only a drill!
FCS - School Closed for Monday, August 17 due to widespread flooding across the county.
Our IT team has fixed the issue. We are fully operational with phones. Have a great day.
The phone lines are temporarily down. Schools will provide the families they serve a temporary way to contact them during this brief outage. We have an IT team rapidly working on this issue, and hope to be up and running very soon. Thank you.
Special request to all you kids returning to school: If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes -PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life! PLEASE REPOST FOR OUR CHILDREN
Thank you and let's have a safe school year.
School Officer Mike Fridley
