Freshman Orientation Schedule
As we approach the start of a new school year, let's remember that we don't always know what each other are facing outside of school. If you see someone struggling to make friends or being bullied, let's step up and offer a friendly hello or smile in the hallways, share in a conversation, or invite them to the lunch table. Your kindness might just make a big difference in someone's life, including your own. So this year Preston County Schools, let's remember that "We Are P.C.S. " - Positive, Compassionate, and Supportive. We can't wait to welcome our staff back next week, and to see all of our students' smiling faces on the 24th.

Reminder - Pre-K, K, 7th grade, 12th Grade students are REQUIRED to have the listed vaccinations before they can start school. Without proper documentation, then a student cannot attend until the shots are completed and records are at the school. There is no grace period. We don't want to see your student unnecessarily miss school days. Please contact one of our nurses for assistance, return their voicemails, or contact the health department with any questions. As of today, there are 92 seniors with records still missing of having the appropriate vaccines. It is against state law for them to be in the building without records of the required immunizations. This even pertains to virtual students.

Reminder of vaccine requirements for PCS Students (PK, new enrollments and 7th and 12th grades) - Immunizations are a requirement by state code for student enrollment in WV Public Schools.

Last June (2025), the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE), members voted unanimously to comply with state law regarding required school immunizations as it is written in W. Va. Code §16-3-4.

To date, the West Virginia Legislature has not voted in favor of religious exemptions for vaccines and continue to comply with the law that dates back to 1937.
