Preston County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for tomorrow, Thursday, February 6th. Maintenance, mechanics, & custodians report on a regular schedule, & all other students & staff will report on a 2-hour delay. Road conditions will be assessed in the morning and if circumstances warrant, the day could be shifted to a 3-hour delay or result in cancellation of school.
Due to impending winter weather in the eastern portion of the county, all after-school activities including school-sponsored sports as well as youth league games and practices are cancelled for tonight. Any school delay or cancellation status for tomorrow will be updated later today.
We have been in contact with a number of local clinics who have seen an uptick in strep, flu and a stomach virus. This is just a friendly reminder that as we work to keep our students and staff healthy this winter, please be reminded that if your child stays home or is picked up sick from school, he or she should not return until they are symptom free for 24 hours without medication. This includes fever (100.4+), cough, vomiting, and diarrhea. Remember you have 10 parent notes to use for the year in case of an absence. Be sure to turn either this or a doctor's slip in so we can mark your child excused.

Calling all Aurora Bears! Help us win the trophy by logging your minutes on Beanstack!
Congratulations to January's Top Readers! We are so proud of you! Aurora School also met our Community Goal of 100,000 minutes read! The goal has now increased to 200,000 minutes! Keep reading, Bears!
Here at Preston County Schools, we're a team. Every team needs a strong anchor, and our counselors provide that not only for our students, but also in assisting our staff. We're all better off for the work that they do, day in and day out, and beyond the regular week. Your efforts don't go unnoticed. You all are truly making a difference and we thank you, this week, and all the weeks.

February brings us another reading challenge and chance for bragging rights. Proud of all our great readers and participants to date. Keep up the great work.
February Breakfast and Lunch Menus
April 22nd, originally part of Spring Break, is now an instructional day as we have to make up a snow day. Students and staff will be in schools that day. Also, due to missing so many days, February 7th is no longer a 2 hour early dismissal. It will be a full day. Any additional days will be made up after May 30th.
The hold has been lifted, and all students will return home on a normal schedule.
Aurora went on, and is currently on a "hold" status for a medical situation. Emergency medical staff are currently on-site, and the school will remain in the "hold" status until the situation is resolved.
Preston County Schools is currently doing an overhaul of its phone system. With the new system has come changes in employee extensions. Listed below are the new county office extensions. Schools will begin updating as their new systems are installed. If you reach an error on an old extension at a school, just place a "3" in front of the old number.
Congratulations to all of our Math Field Day Participants and Winners (Listed Below) from Friday's competition. These students chose to go above and beyond the classroom and represented themselves and their schools with excellence. We look forward to seeing what our winners do at the next level of competition.
