Final 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.

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.

During the June meeting of 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.

The WVBE directed the State Superintendent of Schools to notify all school districts to follow the law that has been in effect since 1937. This is in line with the actions of the West Virginia Legislature during the 2025 Regular Session which did not vote in favor of religious exemptions for vaccines.

This is a reminder for the entire parent drop-off route. It was put in place last year and will continue this year. Cars will still enter on the upper portion of Eby School Road near the church and will travel down the hill towards the old Arthurdale gymnasium. Instead of continuing out Eby School Road, traffic will make a left just after the gym and make a loop around the old gymnasium. Cars will then turn right to head towards the typical drop-off points at the school.

For this upcoming school year, West Virginia has enacted a law, House Bill 2003 (https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Text_HTML/2025_SESSIONS/RS/bills/hb2003%20sub2%20enr.pdf), empowering county school boards to ban cell phone use in classrooms during instructional time. The bill, passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Patrick Morrisey, aims to reduce distractions and improve student focus and mental health. County boards are responsible for developing and implementing specific policies regarding device use, including storage and consequences for violations. Preston County School's policy is summarized below and will be on second reading for passage at the August 11th meeting of the PCS Board of Education.
