Webster County Schools would like to provide parents with resources regarding mental health, bullying, and suicide prevention. The West Virginia Department of Education has partnered with ParentGuidance.org to provide free resources to all West Virginia families. This resource includes an “Ask a Therapist” component as well as courses that families can take on line to help gain knowledge regarding many subjects that parents face each day, but directly regarding the challenges students and families face.
Available, free courses that may be helpful to our community include:
• grief and loss
• Parent support
• Bullying
• Suicide prevention
• Anxiety & depression
Parentguidance.org also has Parent Coaching resources that gives families free access to an individual that can provide coaching for your specific needs, the coaches check in on a reoccurring basis to allow follow up, continued guidance and ongoing support.

To the Parents and Families of Webster County Schools:
This morning, we experienced the tragic loss of one of our students. We are all heartbroken and extend our prayers and sympathy to everyone that this has had an impact on. At this time, we have multiple counselors on site at Webster County High School to provide counseling services to students. These services will continue until 6:00 this evening and for the remainder of this week. If you, as the parent/guardian, feel that it is in your child's best interest to go home, you may come to the high school and sign your child out. School will operate on a normal schedule today with buses running their normal evening runs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Webster County High School at 304-226-5772.
Respectfully- Joseph Arbogast, Superintendent Webster County Schools
