Due to having no in-person school this week and delivery routes being impeded, all schools will be on "Cook's Choice" next week, and we will pick up with the regularly planned menus on February 9th. Each school's Facebook page will have their updated menu for the week.
As of now, following this past week of inclement weather to our state and area, PCS has exhausted all allotted Snow Days and Non-Traditional Instruction (Brain Freeze) Days. Due to the 6th Snow Day called on January 27th, as of now, April 7th is an Instructional Day for Students. Due to the severity of this past weekend's and week's winter storm, if the State Department would choose to grant waivers or exceptions to days' used, we will communicate that and adjust the calendar accordingly.

It appears we're currently having and will continue to have the Preston County Winter we've all become accustomed to, but haven't seen in the past few years. The state allocates us, based off additional learning time in our buildings each day, 5 traditional snow days, where students and staff under 240 day contracts do not report, and allows 5 non-traditional learning days (Brain Freeze) where students work from home and staff reports. If we exhaust all these days, make-up days, either via from Spring Break, or at the end of the school year, will need to be used to meet the state requirements. If we go over those allocated days, the calendar will be adjusted and you will be informed of the dates of those make-up days.
