Students at Terra Alta East Preston have an exciting opportunity to join the After School Explorers!
This program helps target learning gaps and promotes study skills and well-rounded activities.
ASE runs from 2:25-4:25, Monday through Thursday. We will not have a bus available, so parents must pick their child up. ASE includes a snack, math and literacy enrichment, homework help, and art, music, and physical activities. It is available for students in grades K through 8, and you can sign up with an application from the office or by requesting one from your child's teacher.
We are planning to start up right after Thanksgiving, so get your application in ASAP! Any questions, feel free to contact the main office.
We are all set-up for our Veteran’s Program this afternoon. Just a reminder, the program begins at 12:30, with our local heroes arriving for a light reception at 12:00. The program will be live streamed on the Terra Alta East Preston Facebook page. A special thanks to our band, choir, and 8th graders for preparing the ceremony. Thank you to the PHS JROTC for providing Color Guard duties. Also, a huge thanks to our PTO and Terra Alta Civic Club for their continued support of this event, our school, community and Veterans.

Our school is participating in “College Application and Exploration Week.” During this week, we will focus on helping students learn about the importance of planning for college and about the many college options available to them.
One activity will be “College Colors Day” which students are encouraged to wear the colors of their favorite college or university, or to wear their favorite college gear on Friday, November 4th. Students must abide by the school’s dress code and avoid wearing inappropriate clothes. Hope to see everyone repping their favorite college or university.

Depending on turnout, meetings will be limited to 5 to 7 minutes per main teacher. If there's anything that needs further discussed, you can always set up an additional time to meet. We hope to see you all out.
