Just a friendly reminder that Krispy Kreme donut orders and money are due on Friday. We want to thank everyone for their help and support! All the funds go toward materials and supplies for the school and classrooms.
Good evening. This is just a reminder to parents and guardians to either send in absence or doctor's notes upon their students return to school, or to utilize the online form which can be found on the main banner on the Preston County Schools website, or under documents on the app. Thank you.
October's menus are now available for parents and guardians to see their student's school's meal offerings next month. Tomorrow will be our final new item of the month, with most schools having Buffalo Chicken Pizza, while some, due to distribution issues, could be serving BBQ Chicken Pizza (also new to PCS). Following tomorrow's lunch, in the coming days, you will see a link to a survey. This survey will be used to help determine future menus and improve our feeding program and service to our students. If there are ever any questions, comments, or concerns, those can be directed to Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition at jhough@k12.wv.us or at 304-329-0580 x234.
School Picture Day is set for Tuesday, October 1st here at Bruceton.
😋Making memories in 4th grade! 4th grade students turned into bakers today and made homemade bread as part of a literature and science extension activity.
