Bruceton Water Update - Water was restored to the entire building by 10:50 AM. Prior to restoration, bottled water was delivered to accommodate each student, as well as additional water was on site if needed for bathrooms.
Bruceton Water Disruption - This morning Bruceton School was notified by PSD 4 of a water disruption occurring between 9-11AM. This will not disrupt lunch service and bottled water is being delivered for the students, just in case there are continued issues after it's back on, as well as additional water for the bathrooms.
Due to the regular parking lot being full, Pre-K and Kindergarten parent pickup will be at the red doors by the Pre-K rooms today and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday, May 18th and 19th. Parent pickup for all other grades will remain the same.
Today, we recognize and celebrate National Speech-Language Pathologist Day and extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated SLPs who support students across PCS.
Speech-Language Pathologists play a vital role in helping students develop the communication skills they need to succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Through assessment, targeted intervention, and collaboration with families and school teams, SLPs support students in building skills in speech, language, literacy, social communication, and more.

Any middle school boys or girls basketball player who still has their uniform needs to turn it into the office ASAP.
Just a reminder that this Friday, May 15th, will be a 2 Hour Early Dismissal for PCS Students so that staff may begin work on closing out the year, professional development, and strategic planning.
Tomorrow, students in grades 3-8 will take the English/language arts component of the West Virginia General Summative Assessment. It's important for students to be on time to school as state testing rules do not allow late students to begin testing once testing has begun. Please make sure that your child eats breakfast and gets a good night's sleep. Students also need to make sure their laptops are fully charged. While we want our students to do their best on the test, we understand that this test is just one snapshot in time of their abilities.
You can order yearbooks online now. Log on to www.ybpay.com and use the Yearbook ID Code: 15170126
The deadline to order is June 5th. If you have any questions, contact Mr. Fischer at scott.fischer@k12.wv.us

Vacant coaching positions will now be posted on May 13, 2026. They were previously scheduled to be posted in late May, however, to allow earlier scheduling of meetings and practices, they will be posted on May 13th. Vacancies are posted on the Preston County Schools website, under the employment tab.
Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12th, and the BOE offices will be closed for Election Day.
Bruceton Academic Boosters will meet tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12th at 6:00pm in the cafeteria. All are welcome to attend.
State Testing has been underway across Preston County, and the results are already coming in. If your student has taken their Math or Science Assessment (Grades 5 and 8 Only), then his/her results are available upon test completion. ELA could take up to 10 days, as some of the writing portion has to be hand-scored at the state level. At the end of this week, your student will be bringing home a letter with instructions to login to the testing portal results, as we no longer send paper copies home.
You will no longer be receiving a paper copy of your student’s state testing results. Those are now available online at the following website:
https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/families.html
Once at the site, you will need to provide your student’s first name, date of birth, and 6-digit access code (provided above). Once you type in the information and hit sign-in, it will walk you through the rest. If you are having any issues or have any questions, please contact Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition, Communications and Testing at jhough@k12.wv.us, or 304-329-0580 x3234 between 7:30-3:30.
