🚨 Community Notification: Training Drill at Preston High School 🚨
Preston County Schools would like to inform our students, families, and community that a K-9 training drill is currently taking place, having began at 9:00 a.m. at Preston High School. Students have either been placed on a hold and/or evacuated from the building while this drill is being conducted and K-9s and Law Enforcement sweep the building.
This exercise is only a drill and is part of our ongoing efforts to promote a safe and secure learning environment for all.
The purpose of this training is to:

- Keep our K-9 units active, prepared, and highly trained
- Reinforce to students the importance of school safety policies
- Encourage compliance with rules regarding prohibited substances
- Provide valuable practice for students and staff in evacuation and lockdown/hold procedures

During the drill, there may be an increased presence of law enforcement and K-9 teams on campus. We want to assure families that this is a routine, proactive training exercise designed to enhance preparedness—not a response to any specific threat.
We appreciate the continued support of our families and community as we work together to maintain a safe and respectful school environment for everyone.

State Testing has been underway across Preston County, and the results are already coming in. If your student has taken their Math or Science Assessment (Grades 5 and 8 Only), then his/her results are available upon test completion. ELA could take up to 10 days, as some of the writing portion has to be hand-scored at the state level. At the end of this week, your student will be bringing home a letter with instructions to login to the testing portal results, as we no longer send paper copies home.

You will no longer be receiving a paper copy of your student’s state testing results. Those are now available online at the following website:

https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/families.html

Once at the site, you will need to provide your student’s first name, date of birth, and 6-digit access code (provided above). Once you type in the information and hit sign-in, it will walk you through the rest. If you are having any issues or have any questions, please contact Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition, Communications and Testing at jhough@k12.wv.us, or 304-329-0580 x3234 between 7:30-3:30.
