🚨IMPORTANT PCS UPDATE🚨
***PCS Remote Learning – Friday, January 29, 2021***
All Putnam County Schools will operate remotely on Friday, January 29, 2021 as this date has been scheduled by the West Virginia Interagency Taskforce and those providing the vaccine on-site for Putnam County School employees to receive their second COVID-19 vaccination.
