Effective September 13, 2021 – Masks Required for ALL PCSD Students

As stated at the beginning of the school year, our goal is to keep our students learning in school and in-person. Unfortunately, as positive cases of COVID-19 in Pershing County rise, so does the  number of students and staff members who are required to quarantine due to the virus and contact tracing.

Effective Monday, September 13, 2021, ALL Pershing County School District students, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to wear face coverings when indoors and when utilizing PCSD transportation.

Please use the PCSD Covid-19 Screening Guide daily to keep our staff and students safe!  If your child is sick please notify the school and keep them home!
