Although not in school today due to the inclement weather, Preston County Schools, our staff and students, are always thankful for the amazing substitute teachers that have and continue to dedicate themselves to our students' educations. Thanks for being such a valued part of our team.
Mrs. Short's pre-k'ers were excited to catch the first snowflakes of the season!

The lost and found is getting pretty full. If your child is missing anything, please have them check it. We'll be clearing out the lost and found after Thanksgiving break.
Calendar updated and updated online to include 2, two-hour early outs on February 7th and May 9th as teacher work time towards progress reports and grading. As always, if we have more inclement weather days off, delays, or early-outs, this is always subject to change and will be communicated with advanced notice.
It's an early Thanksgiving celebration in art class today as Miss Neff's kids made paper turkeys.

Preston County Schools continued thanks goes out to the ongoing support from YCF, which is dedicated to providing additional opportunities and resources for students and teachers across North Central West Virginia, serving Harrison, Marion, Preston, Taylor, and Monongalia counties.
Congratulations to all of Preston County's recipients.
It's getting to be that time of year again. The WVDE affords us the opportunity, due to our extended length days at certain schools, to use that time to be able to have alterative learning days in the event of inclement weather. In Preston County, we call those Brain Freeze Days. Below, you will find the information you will need in the event one of these days are called. Any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher or building principal.
Congratulations to Mrs. Shisler, Mrs. Short, and Mr. Fischer on being awarded educator mini-grants from the YCF Foundation. They, along with several other Preston County teachers who received grants were recognized at a reception last night.
