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.
