To the Parents, Students, and Staff of Preston High School: The door replacement project begins this coming Monday, January 29th. This will cause a minor change in the arrival procedures. Student drop off will now be at the Fine Arts Entrance around the side of the building (across from the track). All cars should still go around the CTE wing of the building but will now drop off students at the Fine Arts Entrance not the Rear Entrance. Buses will drop off as usual. Student pick-up at the end of the day will not be affected. Staff will not be able to park along the Fine Arts/Gym side of the building. A reminder that you can park in spots 1-25 in the front of the building and you may also park where the Band bus was parking. (We moved it to provide parking spots.) No one should park in the handicapped spots behind the building (across from the Weight Room). This will remain in effect until further notice.
At approximately 7:05 AM, we received notification of a transformer fire that has resulted in a total power loss loss at the Aurora School . It is being reported to be a multiple hour repair.

As of 7:10 AM, Aurora area buses were instructed to stop picking up students and to attempt to return students home who have already been picked up. If no one is home to receive students, buses have been instructed to take students to the school, and the school will contact parents to make arrangements to pick up their children.
