West Preston School

With SNAP Benefits delays approaching, PCS, and their partners at Food for Preston, want to ensure our students don't go hungry. If in need, please reach out to these food pantries or Food for Preston directly, as well as your child's school as we're here to help. Our guidance offices and social workers can work directly with local orgs, Food for Preston, and our county nutrition director, to ensure our students have food during any uncertain times.

November Breakfast and Lunch Menus

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.
