Kindness starts with each of us. When we listen, include, forgive, show respect, solve problems peacefully, and lift one another up, we create schools where everyone feels valued and belongs.
Different ideas. Same team. One school community. 🤝
A kinder, more united Preston County Schools starts with US!
Today, October 6th, we’re celebrating the incredible instructional coaches who work behind the scenes to make a BIG impact across our schools! 🌟
Our instructional coaches are master teachers, peer mentors, and collaborative partners who support educators, strengthen teaching practices, encourage professional growth, and ultimately help improve outcomes for our students. 🍎📖
Their work may not always happen in the spotlight, but their impact is felt in classrooms every day. Thank you to our instructional coaches for guiding, supporting, empowering, and inspiring our educators and students!
💙💛 We appreciate YOU and all you do for Preston County Schools! 💛💙

Preston County Schools always appreciates the hard work and dedication of every member of our school community, but today we want to take a special moment to recognize our amazing custodial staff!
Our custodians work behind the scenes each day to help keep our schools clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for learning. From the early mornings to the late afternoons and nights, their hard work makes a difference for our students, staff, and families every single day.
To all of our Preston County Schools custodians: THANK YOU! 🧹✨ Your work matters, your dedication is appreciated, and you are an important part of what makes our schools great!

We appreciate you and all that you do for Preston County Schools! 💙💛
Students in grades K–2 have brought home or will soon bring home reports from beginning-of-year diagnostic assessments, including iReady, ESGI, and/or Amira.
Please remember that midterms are progress reports, not final grades. They provide a snapshot of your child’s current performance. The grading period does not end until the third week of October, so students still have time to make progress and improve their grades.
Please review these reports with your child and contact their teacher if you have questions or would like to discuss ways to support their learning.
Just a reminder to parents. This was due Thursday. Your students device will not work at school tomorrow if the AUP hasn't been accepted. Please go to the link and fill out today. (From Monday, September 21st) - Reminder for parents to complete the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) prior to this weekend:
When your student brought home their contact information packet for verification for you to sign and return, there was also a QR code and a link to other policies that needed signed, including the AUP. If this wasn't completed, your student's device will no longer have access following Buckwheat. If you didn't complete, please go to the following link and complete before Thursday, the 24th.
