Our students had a fantastic time during their recent trip to Preston High School to see the theater department’s performance of Shrek the Musical!
This special experience was more than just a fun day out—it was a wonderful opportunity for our students to get a glimpse of the exciting opportunities that await them beyond elementary school.
Students in grades K–4 who earned Perfect Attendance for the third grading period were surprised with this well-deserved trip. Their commitment to being present each and every day truly paid off!
Let this be a reminder: it pays to come to school all day, every day—you never know what exciting experiences might be waiting for you!

PCS Quarterly Highlights - Beat of Excellence - Winter/Early Spring Digital Edition (https://5il.co/3u0rn)
Although our students' and schools' accomplishments are highlighted regularly through Facebook(s) and our PCS Website(s), PCS will now be compiling a highlight of events of an extended period, publishing quarterly. In previous years and editions, our print magazine was funded through additional federal funds we no longer receive. Moving forward, we will print one magazine each year through parent engagement funding, typically at the start of the year, containing important information, documents, and a calendar, but then will quarterly post a "Beat of Excellence Highlight" online.

Also, with today's snow day, 3rd Grading Period Report Cards will now go out this Friday the 20th, as opposed to the 19th.

Happy Pi Day Preston County!!! March 14th is celebrated in many countries as Pi Day, because that date is written as 3/14, and the mathematical constant Pi is approximately 3.14. Today is also Einstein's birthday and recognized as the International Day of Mathematics. Every year, the International Mathematical Union announces a theme for the celebration, spark creativity and bring light to connections between mathematics and all sorts of fields, concepts and ideas. The theme for 2026: Mathematics and Hope.
Thales, the first Greek Mathematician and philosopher said, "Hope is the most universal of all human possessions."
More than 2,500 years later, we can also say that mathematics is one of the most universal human possessions.
Connecting hope and mathematics creates opportunities for deeper insight and knowledge. Mathematics gives us hope to understand reality and truth clearly, share common definitions, learn cooperation, use data responsibly, find win-win strategies, and more.
Even if you're just looking for an excuse to eat some pie, today is that day too.

PRESTON COUNTY SCHOOL CALENDAR UPDATE AND CHANGES:
Preston County Schools would like to provide an update related to our current year academic calendar. This will be reflected with an updated calendar on the county page later today. A waiver request of the 180-day requirement was submitted by Mr. Martin on March 6th for a waiver of (4) dates that were missed due to weather during the last week of January that were a part of the Governor's emergency declaration. The waiver has been approved. As a result, the last day of school for students will be Thursday, May 28th if the district has no additional snow days between now and the end of the school year. This will also allow Tuesday, April 7th to now be a day off of school for students and 200-day staff for an extended Easter Break as it was previously scheduled to be prior to the snow. If we have any snow days for the remainder of the year, announcements will be made on needed calendar adjustments.
