CPMS Memo: Good afternoon. This is a reminder that Friends of Wildcats will meet this evening, October 8th, at 6:00pm at Central Preston.
Next week is National School Lunch Week. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life, and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. We have selected fan favorites to highlight the week, as well as focusing on a "farm to table" day on Wednesday, featuring WV pork and fruits. And as always in Preston County Schools, all students eat for FREE.

There have been on again, off again phone issues reported at Central, South Preston, Terra Alta, PHS, and the Board of Education Offices. This is an external, Frontier issue. We are working to get them resolved. Calls are able to be made, but quality is hit or miss. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Parents/Guardians and students, please take a moment to complete a short survey related to school meals. The results of this survey will help in making menus that are more appealing to our students. Thank you.

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.
Good evening. This is just a reminder to parents and guardians to either send in absence or doctor's notes upon their students return to school, or to utilize the online form which can be found on the main banner on the Preston County Schools website, or under documents on the app. Thank you.
