Over the weekend a member of the youth league tested positive for Covid. If you have a child that is either a player or cheerleader that could’ve been exposed, please contact the health department and follow proper quarantine protocols. They will then provide us with a list of those on quarantine. If exposed at school, you will be notified by us based on that exposure. Those exposed can not return until at least day 7 of the quarantine, which begins day of exposure. They can test Day 5 and then return with negative results or without testing, will need to quarantine for the full 10 days from date of exposure. So if exposed on Saturday the 4th, it would be Tuesday the 14th with a full 10 day.
Just a reminder to talk to your student(s) about the current mask mandate. We will continue to offer those masks or shields who don’t have them, however, those who wish not to take them may remain in the building, but with the risk that if exposed, they will be subject to the current quarantine protocols. Our goal will always be to keep your kids in school, and as of now, the only way to prevent quarantine is to mask up. Any questions or concerns, please contact the principal.
The Covid Testing scheduled at Preston Memorial Hospital on Saturday, September 4, 2021 from 1:00- 3:00 has been CANCELLED!
Eagles always step up and fly high together. With the early out, our goal was to ensure, even with the limited time, that all students got fed. With the help of Jen Boni, Lisa Dewitt, Bus Driver Mark Knotts, and our awesome hard-working cooks and custodial staff, we were able to serve hot lunch to all of our students before sending them home on the bus. Our staff always steps up when it comes to the care of our kids. Stay safe. Stay dry. Fly high.
Because of several quarantines due to contact tracing, Preston Memorial Hospital will be setting up COVID testing on Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. for those that need to be tested in order to get back in school. Parents must call the COVID hotline at 304.329.7285 to register for the test.
Preston County Schools will be dismissing at approx. 11:30 AM from all schools except Preston HIgh School. Busses from Preston High will be dissmissing as soon they can return to PHS, approx. 12:30-12:45. Student drivers will be dismissed ahead of busses.
Please logon and complete the following survey by September as it pertains to and is attached to our federal funding and additional opportunities to take care of our kids.

The Preston County Board of Education met on August 30, 2021, and issued a mask mandate through September 27, 2021, when the issue will be revisited. If all students are masked, CDC, state board, and local health department guidelines state that an exposed student would not have to be quarantined. This should help us keep students in school for now. https://youtu.be/TMe1nED-UUs
