Good evening, Preston County families , Today your student should have come home with an attendance letter and chart to monitor their absences at home. Any absence is a loss of instruction. We want all of our students present, engaged, and to be successful! Over the next several days, you will see updated Policy 4110, attendance information, via social media and our county website. Stay informed, talk with your student, and reach out for assistance from your student's administrators and/or student support team! We are here for your kids and attendance is KEY!

Good morning West Preston families! Our new drop off loop in the morning is working well, but we wanted to provide some friendly reminders. If you are first in line for the day, please pull all the way up in the drop off area. Do not release your students from cars until our staff is outside at 7:00am. Each time the line moves, please pull all the way up. Guardians should remain in cars during the entire drop off process. We will unbuckle students as needed and help them exit the car safely. Thank you for your help! If you have any questions please contact the school. Have a wonderful day!

This week's #PrestonCountyReads focus. Each week, we'll be posting different tips to improve your child's reading. Be sure to include the hashtag on any posts, images or videos you'd like to share of your student working on their skills. Remember, numerous studies have defined that 15-30 minutes of reading a day will help your child improve their literacy, and even for adults will support brain health for a lifetime.

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!
