🚍💛 It takes heart to be a school bus driver — and we are so thankful for the dedication, patience, and care our drivers show every single day. From early mornings to late afternoons, they ensure students get to and from school safely with a smile.
Today, we celebrate and appreciate our incredible bus drivers who are the first and last friendly faces many students see each day. Thank you, PCS Drivers, for being the HEART of our schools! #PutnamProud

Last week, Governor Patrick Morrisey participated in Read Across America Week at West Teays Elementary School! Governor Morrisey stopped by Ms. Painter’s second-grade classroom to read “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss. Students enjoyed the visit and engaged in a fun Q and A!
“A strong foundation in early literacy is key to success in life, said Governor Morrisey. “A student with a strong reading ability in the third-grade has improved future educational and behavioral outcomes. Thank you to educators across the state who are ensuring the next generation of West Virginians can achieve their full potential.”

If the school system is forced to close for a seventh or eighth day, students would report to school on Friday, February 28, and/or Monday, March 3.
