It's getting to be that time of year again. The WVDE affords us the opportunity, due to our extended length days at certain schools, to use that time to be able to have alterative learning days in the event of inclement weather. In Preston County, we call those Brain Freeze Days. Below, you will find the information you will need in the event one of these days are called. Any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher or building principal.
Good evening TAEP Middle School. We still have 21 students who have not returned their signed report card envelopes. These MUST be turned in this week.

Good evening Terra Alta East Preston Middle School families. We continue to see behavioral issues within the middle school regarding disrespect, interruptions to instruction, off task behaviors, and refusal to work (defiance). We are diligently working through these issues through conferences with parents, consequences for actions, and following all processes and policies set forth by the WV Board of Education and the Preston County Board of Education. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well being of our students we are thus postponing this Friday's middle school dance. Please reinforce with your student the importance of education and the severity of consequences for disrespectful and disruptive behaviors. Unfortunately, this is not all of our students. Some students are making good choices and suffering as a result of the poor choices of many others. We will work together to resolve these issues and have a better school as a result. We appreciate your patience and support.
Menu Change for Tuesday, 11-19. Due to an unavailability issue from distribution, the 19th will no longer be a BBQ Rib sandwich, but will be replaced with a bbq pulled pork sandwich. All other accompaniments are the same.
Good morning Eagles. Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 12th, our lunch menu will switch with Friday. Tomorrow we will have pizza, green beans, apple sauce, fruit punch, and milk. Friday we will have boneless wings, dipping sauce, carrot sticks, tots, and milk.
Today isn't just another day off from school or work. Preston County Schools will always honor and remember and would like to thank all our Veterans. We thank those who served, and those who are still serving. We are Preston Proud and Strong, because you've sacrificed so we can be. Thank you.
