If you are seeing multiple of the same posts on school Facebook pages, we apologize as the system we are using was having both a lag yesterday and today in posting and duplicated some posts. We have worked with our app, and the problem should be resolved. We hope everyone is enjoying some extra time home with family this week.

It's getting to be that time of year again. The WVDE affords us the opportunity, due to our extended length days at certain schools, to use that time to be able to have alterative learning days in the event of inclement weather. In Preston County, we call those Brain Freeze Days. Below, you will find the information you will need in the event one of these days are called. Any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher or building principal.

Calendar updated and updated online to include 2, two-hour early outs on February 7th and May 9th as teacher work time towards progress reports and grading.
