October 20-24, 2025 is National School Bus Safety Week. Keep bus stop safety at the top of your list this school year. School buses carry our most precious cargo—our children. Every stop is a chance to protect their journey. We thank our community members for following the law, our local law enforcement for monitoring and enforcing the laws, and our PCS Bus Drivers for ensuring our students' safety to and from our schools and events.
We will be taking a PBIS incentive trip on November 20 to watch a WVU Women’s Basketball game!
