Preston County Schools in-county transfer (for grades K - 8) emails were distributed today, Thursday, August 10. Please check your email. Questions? Contact Mrs. Laura Shaffer, laura.shaffer@k12.wv.us or call 304-329-0580 ext. 236
A lot of people have been asking us about class lists. We wanted to share that we've been working to get them finalized the last couple of weeks. We have a number of kids transferring from out-of-county into Bruceton. It's been a challenge to get records from those schools and we don't want to post class lists until we get those kids into our system. We don't want to post class lists and then have to go back and make changes due to class size caps, class makeup, etc. Our goal is to have them ready by this Friday, next Monday at the latest. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Just a few save-the-dates from Bruceton School:

Friday, August 18th from 5-7pm is our Back-to-School Bash.
