Hot off the Press! The 2023-2024 yearbooks have finally arrived! This yearbook is our first student-led and student-created yearbook. Mr. Fischer served as advisor and guide, but students worked to take photos, handle layouts, and more. We're getting them sorted today and they should be ready to go home next week.

October's menus are now available for parents and guardians to see their student's school's meal offerings next month. Tomorrow will be our final new item of the month, with most schools having Buffalo Chicken Pizza, while some, due to distribution issues, could be serving BBQ Chicken Pizza (also new to PCS). Following tomorrow's lunch, in the coming days, you will see a link to a survey. This survey will be used to help determine future menus and improve our feeding program and service to our students. If there are ever any questions, comments, or concerns, those can be directed to Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition at jhough@k12.wv.us or at 304-329-0580 x234.
