Hello West Preston families! Thank you for your cooperation this morning with our new drop off route. Please don't forget to follow the same route this afternoon for pick-up. This afternoon we will also be using the Pikmykid app for pick-up, so please make sure you have the app downloaded and your student connected. Please be patient as we work through using this system. We will also be hosting our Open House event on Thursday, August 29th from 5-7pm. Please join us for an evening full of fun and meet your child's teacher(s)!

West Preston School will be implementing a new morning drop off and afternoon pick up route effective Monday, August 26th. Cars will still enter on the upper portion of Eby School Road near the church and will travel down the hill towards the old Arthurdale gymnasium. Instead of continuing out Eby School Road, traffic will make a left just after the gym and make a loop around the old gymnasium. Cars will then turn right to head towards the typical drop-off points at the school. Traffic will continue to flow from there as it always has. The new route is pictured below and will eliminate the blockage of Eby School road for local community members. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of this new route and make changes as needed moving forward. Please be patient as we work through this process. Have a great day!
