Students in grades K-4 are also receiving information about a survey for families. Your opinions are valuable to us! Please take a few minutes to provide feedback about K-4 report cards. Guardians of K-4 students can complete the form on paper or click the link below to complete it digitally. The survey will be open until November 8. Thank you for your help!

Tomorrow, October 31st, JoAnn Snoderly from the WVDEP Youth Environmental Program will be here in the afternoon to do hands-on science lessons with our students. The lessons will vary depending on age, but all students will be learning about watersheds, the components and functions of a watershed, types of water pollution, and recognizing that we all play a part in water pollution but can also play a part in making our watersheds cleaner.
Good evening. This is a reminder there is no school for students tomorrow, Friday, October 27th as it is a teacher training day. Thank you.

October9-13 is National School Lunch Week; the theme is "Level Up with School Lunch." Featured items will include: Minecraft Meatball Sub, FryGuy Fries, Guaco Walking Taco, Pac-Man Pizza, Donkey Kong Bananas, Yeti in my Spaghetti, Kirby Cheeseburger, and Princess Peach.
To help ensure the national alert and warning system is ready to provide timely, accurate information during the next disaster, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct a nationwide test at approximately 2:20 PM on Wednesday, October 4. This 1-minute test alert sent to TVs, radios and smartphones is similar to the weekly or monthly testing that happens on a local and regional level. The message that appears on phones will read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” No action is required by the public. This alert is simply a test of a robust readiness system should a nationwide alert be necessary in the future. All Preston County Schools have been advised of this test and are notifying students and staff in advance of the test this afternoon.

Thanks again to all of our service personnel employees!!!!
