Terra Alta put up a valiant effort yet again to take the #2 spot, but once again, Aurora holds onto the reading title for the month of December, edging out TAEP by just 624 minutes. Congratulations to Aurora, and to all our regular readers. Who will in in January? Keep on reading Preston County. #PCSREADS

It appears we're currently having and will continue to have the Preston County Winter we've all become accustomed to, but haven't seen in the past few years. The state allocates us, based off additional learning time in our buildings each day, 5 traditional snow days, where students and staff under 240 day contracts do not report, and allows 5 non-traditional learning days (Brain Freeze) where students work from home and staff reports. If we exhaust all these days, make-up days, either via from Spring Break, or at the end of the school year, will need to be used to meet the state requirements. If we go over those allocated days, the calendar will be adjusted and you will be informed of the dates of those make-up days.

Preston County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay for tomorrow, Thursday, January 22nd. Maintenance, mechanics, and custodians report on a regular schedule, and all other students and staff will report on a 2 hour delay.
