PPS Update
Unfortunately, we will not be able to open school on our previously scheduled date. The cleaning process is taking longer than expected.
Kindergarten students will begin school on Monday, September 26th. Since our kindergarten wing is finished and approved for use, we are able to begin a little earlier with our youngest tiger cubs.
Our first and second grade students will join them on Monday, October 3rd. We look forward to hosting an Open House for all of our families soon!
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make PPS safe for our students and staff.
Don't forget!

August 16, 2022 (Princeton, WV): On August 8, 2022, mold was discovered on surfaces in classrooms at Princeton Primary School. Mercer County Schools contacted the West Virginia Department of Education’s Office of School Facilities and representatives from that office inspected the school on August 10, 2022.
On August 15, 2022, Mercer County Schools received an Indoor Air Quality report from the Office of School Facilities. Their determination was that during the summer, mold formed because of an HVAC system failure to regulate humidity levels within the building.
In order for the removal of mold and repairs to the HVAC system to regulate humidity levels, Princeton Primary School will not open for in-person learning on August 26, 2022. The safety of our students and staff is paramount. Therefore, students and staff will work remotely until cleaning and repairs have been completed. During the cleaning process, all surfaces including walls will be treated. Any soft surface items with mold have been discarded.
Princeton Primary School teachers will contact students’ families to answer specific questions and arrange pick up of devices and other instructional materials.
A special Mercer County Board of Education meeting will be held on Thursday, August 18, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. at MCTEC’s Seminar center to discuss personnel matters and the approval of a plan for the cleaning and repairs to the HVAC system of Princeton Primary School. Additional information on the reopening of Princeton Primary School will be shared after the board meeting.
School builds lasting friendships!
