Dental Insurance Information

Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) offers two plans:

  • Delta Dental Standard Option
  • High Option

Enrollment is limited to one plan option only. All full-time and part-time employees working 17 1/2 hours per week are eligible to enroll in the PWCS Delta Dental plans.

Enrollment

All new PWCS employees will enroll in health, dental, and vision benefits electronically coincident with their seated start date. Log in to the Employee Self Service (ESS) to enroll in Medical, Dental, and Vision plans.
