Pendleton County Schools are committed to the safety and education of all our students. Essential to this commitment is open communication with our families and school community about any potential issues when they arise. Pendleton County Middle/High School administration communicated the following message to their school families today.
As you may be aware, there are rumors circulating today about the threat of school violence based on a photo being circulated on social media across West Virginia. Similar rumors are spreading in many communities across the country and other school districts. We will continue to monitor this situation and have consulted with local and state police. Based on the information received from law enforcement the threat has been discredited.
Again, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we appreciate our law enforcement agencies keeping our school safe and secure. We will continue to monitor the situation.
PCMHS Local School Improvement Committee (LSIC) will hold this year's election meeting on Friday, September 13th at 3:15 p.m. in the school library. Please contact Nicole Hevener if you have any questions.
Charlotte Hoover's bus will be running late today, Thursday, September 5th
Pendleton County Schools is aware that the Town of Franklin is currently under a boil water advisory, which includes Pendleton County Middle/High School and Franklin Elementary School. We have a plan in place to provide bottled water to all students and staff.
Here are the September lunch menus!
Each student will be bringing home a magnet with this year's calendar, an absence tracker, and a QR code to submit online absence notes. The link to submit absences online can be found on our county website and is also located below. Families who wish to submit a physical note to the school may still do so. All parent notes must be submitted within three days of the absence.
