All PCPS schools and offices will be closed today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025. 12-month staff do not report.

Today, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing school nurses! Your dedication, compassion, and expertise play a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of our students every day. Your tireless efforts do not go unnoticed, and we appreciate everything you do! Let’s celebrate and honor our school nurses today!

The nurse aide class has just finished their clinical rotation and is preparing to take their state exam. The Virginia state exam consists of a written and a skills portion and they must pass both to become certified. They enjoyed their clinical experience, and many are planning to start working in the healthcare field this summer! They have not only been learning and performing, but they have also taught some of their skills to eager 5th graders as well! They are looking forward to beginning their journeys in the healthcare world!

Practical Nursing I students learned about blood components and performed blood typing on themselves in class. Students learned the importance of blood values staying in the normal range and the s/s of abnormal lab values. This was beneficial as they used this knowledge in the clinical setting at Skyview Springs Nursing and Rehab Center.
