We will be scheduling for high school classes next month on February 13th with 8th grade students. The high school counselors will be coming to Terra Alta East Preston School that morning and will help each individual student sign up for their classes for freshmen year. Each student will bring home his/her selected courses that day and will need their parent to review their schedule and have both their signature and their parent signature on the form. Please turn the signed form back into the school by Tuesday, February 21st.
PCS will dismiss 2 hours early on Friday, January 13, 2023 and Monday, January 16, 2023 there is no school.

More information will follow in terms of structure of the evening. Mr. Hough and Ms. Baker will be moving throughout the school from 4:00-5:00, then will be available in their office from 5:00-6:30 if any parents would like a meeting to discuss any concerns or issues with them. In February, they will also be hosting an open-forum, town hall meeting at the school.
Softball sign-ups are currently going on for any interested 6th through 8th grade girls who have a 2.0 GPA or higher. As of now, we are at the minimum needed to field a school team, so are looking for any interested players. Our coach is excellent at developing new players, so even someone with minimal experience is encouraged to come out and be a part of our Lady Eagles team. Sign-ups are on the office door. Thank you.
