PLEASE SHARE!!!
Hardy County Schools has been experiencing higher incidents of Stop Arm Violations. We have had TWO just this week that were extremely dangerous. Please take the time to read the State Code and share this information with everyone you know. Our students rely on us to keep them safe, so let us do just that!
https://code.wvlegislature.gov/17C-12-7/
What it is:
A stop arm (also called a stop sign arm) is a mechanical arm that extends from the side of a school bus and displays a red stop sign when the bus is stopped to allow students to get on or off.
The violation:
When the stop arm is extended and the red lights are flashing, drivers must stop behind the bus and remain stopped until the arm is retracted and the lights stop flashing.
Why it's dangerous:
Passing a stopped school bus with the stop arm extended puts students in a "danger zone" where they are most vulnerable.
Consequences:
Stop arm violations can lead to significant penalties, including fines, potential jail time, and driver's license suspension.
Camera Systems:
All Hardy County school buses are equipped with cameras that can capture stop arm violations. These cameras can provide evidence to law enforcement to help enforce the laws.
Enforcement:
Law enforcement agencies are actively working to enforce school bus stop arm laws to protect student safety.
Penalties Vary:
The specific penalties for stop arm violations can vary by state and the severity of the infraction.

🚰💧 Big News from Hardy County Schools CTE! 💧🚰
Congratulations to Tyler Miller and Jaxson Vetter, two Moorefield High School seniors who have officially started their apprenticeship with the Town of Moorefield Water Treatment Plant! 👏 These future Water Plant Operators are gaining real-world experience and career training before graduation — setting themselves up for long-term success in a high-demand field.
Moorefield’s Water Treatment Plant produces 4 million gallons of safe drinking water daily for our community, and Tyler and Jaxson are learning the ropes directly from industry professionals. The Town is investing in their futures by covering the cost of all training, hourly wages, and the certification expenses needed to become WV Class II Water Operators.
🧠 Hardworking. 💪 Career-ready. 💼 Future-focused. We’re proud of you both!

📚 Helping Your Child Become a Confident Reader 📚
Looking for ways to support your child’s reading at home? Here are two simple tips:
✅ Choose the Right Books
Help your child pick books where they can comfortably read about 90% of the words on a page. If they’re interested in more challenging books, that’s great too — just be ready to help with tricky words!
👂 Listen Every Day
Take time each day to listen to your child read. New readers might go slowly, and that’s perfectly okay! Offer gentle help when needed, and don’t forget to celebrate their efforts with lots of encouragement and praise.
Together, we can help our young readers grow a lifelong love of books! 💙📖
