This morning West Preston School went on a brief hold to maintain safety while administration looked into a situation. It was deemed that there was not a threat to the building, our students, or our staff, and the hold was then lifted. As always, the safety of our students is our first priority and the use of a hold or lockdown helps to maintain that safety. We appreciate your understanding.
