Pleasants County Schools follows the state standards for administration of medication (WVDE Policy 2422.8) in West Virginia public school systems. Of particular importance are students who are prescribed LIFESAVING MEDICATIONS as detailed below in WVDE Policy 2422.7 10.1g.
10.1.g. Designated school personnel shall receive and review the emergency medication and medication authorization form and obtain authorization from the certified school RN to administer the medication. The student shall not attend school until both the administration form and medication are signed and received to prevent risking the safety and welfare of the student. The SAT, Section 504, or IEP team shall consider the lack of emergency lifesaving medication(s) as child neglect.
If your child requires a rescue asthma inhaler, Epi-pen, glucagon, insulin, or seizure rescue medication at school, then the school nurse must receive the medication and the medication order form PRIOR to the first day of the new school year to ensure your child can attend school safely.
A Medication Order Form can be downloaded and printed from the Pleasants County Schools website. Click “Departments” tab, then click “School Nurse” tab.
Please complete the form with the assistance of your health care provider and return the form to the school nurse. The parent or guardian must also sign the form granting permission for the medication to be administered by school staff.
If you have any questions, please contact the nurse at your child's school. Thank you.

Hello, this is an important message about the upcoming MOVHD Mobile Dental Clinic. This clinic will provide services such as screening, cleaning, fluoride treatment, and if determined, sealants, X-rays, and silver diamine fluorine (SDF).
The clinic will be held at St. Marys Elementary School on April 30 and May 01, 2024, and at Belmont Elementary School on May 07 and May 09, 2024, during school hours.
This service is open to students who do not have a dentist, have not been to a dentist in more than a year, are under-insured, or do not have dental insurance.
MOVHD will bill Medicaid and private insurance. A sliding scale will be offered to students without dental insurance. No student will be denied services due to the inability to pay.
Please request an application form from your school nurse by returning the form that was being sent home with your student this week or by calling your school nurse. Applications for dental services need to be received on or before Thursday, April 18.
Students will be granted an appointment on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are still a lot of spots open, so please sign up. Thank you.
