Located in Petersburg, WV, our school has
served Grant, Hardy and Pendleton Counties since 1969. Over
the years, our student-centered programs have challenged
individuals through rigorous academic, vocational and
technical training. Our goal has been, and remains, to open
doors of opportunity for all of our graduates, allowing them
to have flexible career choices and access to a college
education.
In addition to meeting and maintaining high
standards in core content areas, all students are required to
demonstrate basic computer skills for on-line End of Course
test taking, ACT Key Train preparation and internet use.
A variety of programs have been tailored to
meet the individual needs of our adult population.
For those without a high school diploma, we offer studies in
Adult Basic Education at both our Petersburg and Moorefield
branches. The GED test is offered at the
Petersburg branch.
We are sensitive to students' individual
learning styles and needs. Recently, we constructed a
state-of-the-art computer-based learning lab to offer a wide
range of academic assistance.
We look forward to serving
you.
In an effort to better serve
you, we are up-dating our site. Please contact the
Center by calling the Center during regular business hours
at 257-1331 or you can contact the instructors by e-mail in

ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Graduation Date for
South Branch
Graduation will be
held May 20th at 7:00pm in the Petersburg High School
Gymnasium
2. A Note to Parents from Mr.
Whetstone About End-of-Course Tests:
End-of-Course test results are important.
Each test
consists of 50-multiple choice questions that your child
answers on-line; results are immediately available to both
the students and the instructor.
The results provide a
measure of the extent that our students have mastered
technical skills in each concentration area. That
information is included in West Virginia's accountability
report to the U. S. Department of Education. For us here at
South Branch, the data provides our staff with information
vital to the task of improving the quality of instruction
for your child.
Testing at South
Branch begins on Thursday May, 1 and continues through
Friday, May 23. Please check the calendar on the link above
for specific class testing schedules.
"No Child
Left Behind" requires us to use the same assessment to
measure the achievement of all students; however, if your
child has an identified disability listed on an IEP or 504
Plan that lists accommodations, I encourage you to emphasize
to your child the importance of following those
accommodations. I you have any questions, please call.
In
general, tests may be read VERBATIM - word-for-word.
Any exception is not permitted. Calculators on the
computer may be used; timing is flexible.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please give me a
call.
3. Crisis Plan Review
The Crisis plan is on file at SBCTC. In case of a need to evacuate our campus, we have two
options: Petersburg High School tennis courts or
Petersburg High School football field bleachers.
This is part of our on-going effort to ensure a safe school environment. Parents and
community members are urged to contact Mr. Whetstone with
ideas and comments.
4. Pell Grants:
The first
drawdown of Pell Grant funds was completed during the week
of January 7, 2008; the second and final drawdown of funds
is scheduled for February, 2008. Mr. Watts and Mrs.
Harman work with recording and verifying contact hours.
