Students at Rainelle Elementary enjoyed cupcakes donated by the late RFTW rider Don Pierce, whose generosity and spirit continue to bring smiles to our school community. His legacy lives on through these sweet moments of sharing and remembrance.

Picnic with Parents was a wonderful opportunity for our 3rd–5th grade students to share part of their school day with the people who support them most—their families!

Parent involvement plays a vital role in student success. When families and schools work together, students feel encouraged, supported, and motivated to do their best. We loved seeing parents, guardians, and loved ones join us for lunch, creating special memories and strengthening the connection between home and school.

Thank you to all of the families who joined us and helped make this event such a success. Your presence makes a difference, and we are grateful for your continued partnership in helping our students grow and thrive!

On Friday, we were incredibly honored to welcome Task Force Omega to Rainelle Elementary School as they announced the winners of the Memorial Day essay and poster contests and shared the importance of remembering our POW/MIAs. Their heartfelt message of remembrance, sacrifice, and patriotism continues to make a lasting impression on our students, and we are truly grateful for their visit and continued dedication to honoring our nation’s heroes this Memorial Day.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to provide this support for our students and families!

Parents of 5th Grade Students, join the staff at WGMS this evening for orientation!

From playground dreams to graduation days — once kids racing down this slide at recess, now seniors standing at the edge of endless possibility. The playground may feel smaller now, but their futures have never looked bigger. No matter where life takes them, it all started here.

Mrs. Vaughan's second grade has been learning about West Virginia and what a wonderful way to wrap up the unit then an exciting Coal Mine Exhibition field trip!
Last week these Rangers were able to tour underground to see some of our state's heritage!
Afterward, they were able to tour the coal camp, homestead, and complete hands-on activities inside the space station!
What a great day to be a Ranger!

We are pleased to inform parents of 3rd through 5th graders that you should now be able to see your child's 2026 WV General Summative Assessment results online. We will be sending access codes and instructions home with students tomorrow. Please contact the school if you need assistance. Thank you!

Bus 12-70 will not be able to make the morning run this morning. If you are able to bring your child to school, we would greatly appreciate it. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you!

Hands-on Learning in Action!

Second graders at Rainelle Elementary had a blast exploring contractions through a fun, interactive game! Students searched the room to find the partner who completed their word—turning reading practice into an exciting challenge. Learning really clicked as they worked together, held up their words, and made reading truly hands-on.

When learning is active and engaging, those skills stick!
