Preston County Schools would like to thank and recognize all of our school service employees in honor of WV School Service Personnel Day (9/22/23)!!!
Our service employees are vital to the operation of our schools and as I stated in my opening day speech, I wish to thank our bus drivers who provide a smiling face and needed transportation for our students to and from school, our mechanics who work to ensure that our buses are safe for travel, our cooks who prepare nutritious breakfasts and lunches that are sometimes the only meals some of our student see each day, our aides who sometimes ride our buses to ensure safe travels by our students and who provide needed classroom help to our students and our teachers, our secretaries who help to provide for the smooth and efficient operation of our schools, and our custodians and maintenance workers who help to provide a clean environment in our schools and make needed repairs within our buildings and grounds.
Thanks again to all of our service personnel employees!!!!

Preston County Schools is pleased to inform you that students (currently in grades 4 - 9 and grade 12) who took the West Virginia General Summative Assessment or the SAT School Day Assessment in the spring of 2023 have received an email in their K12 student email account containing a link to an individual student video score report. Please have your student check his or her student email account for the link. Simply click on the link and enter your student’s date of birth to access the video score report customized specifically for your student and be sure to check out the links to resources that are also provided.
Additionally, students will bring home the West Virginia General Summative Assessment or SAT School Day Assessment paper copy of the report today, Friday, September 8th. This is the same information that is accessible online in the video report and the new parent portal.
In addition, your student will also receive a second email with a link to the new West Virginia Department of Education Assessment Family Portal. Included with the link is a unique parent access code for your student as well as directions for accessing the family portal.
If you have any difficulty accessing the online report or do not receive your paper copy, please contact your student’s school for assistance. The Preston County Schools website also has additional resources available regarding the assessments. You will find this information at prestoncountyschools.com > Menu > Parent/Student > Assessment.
