Next week, we will be featuring a NEW menu item for lunch, MOZZARELLA STICKS on Tuesday, the 10th. Be sure to try these, and then vote when the next survey comes out if you'd like to keep them as a regular menu item.
We love our local businesses and how much they support our students. Cecilia's Macarons & Sweets and Sugar Plum's Bakery recently collected school supplies for Preston County Schools. We can't thank you all enough.
This week's #PrestonCountyReads focus is phonics. Use the # to share your use of the tip. Keep reading Preston County.
Our first LSIC meeting of the year will be at 5:00 on Tuesday, September 10. All are welcome. Election of officers will be part of the agenda, which will be posted on the Facebook.
Good evening PCS. If your student is absent, please submit an absence note online. You can find the form under documents under the county page or app, or you can click the link on the county or individual school websites. Doctors slips will need sent in upon return for verification if that's the reason selected. Thanks
Good evening, Preston County families ,
Today your student should have come home with an attendance letter and chart to monitor their absences at home. Any absence is a loss of instruction. We want all of our students present, engaged, and to be successful!
Over the next several days, you will see updated Policy 4110, attendance information, via social media and our county website. Stay informed, talk with your student, and reach out for assistance from your student's administrators and/or student support team!
We are here for your kids and attendance is KEY!
Due to this evening's Home Varsity Football Opener, the evening activity buses will depart from Preston High School at 5:15, instead of 5:45. Again, the buses will be departing PHS for those who participate in after-school functions 30 minutes early to be able to get out before traffic begins coming in.
Don't forget to join us tomorrow evening for the opener of the Knights 2024 Football Season. Our Knights' Football Team will not only be representing PHS in their season opener at home, but the WV Army National Guard in the kick-off to the WVARNG Gridiron Series. This team was chosen as they show grit, determination, and represent the Army's values every time they take the field. So let's pack Knights Stadium this Friday and show Hampshire and the state what being a Knight is all about.
At this time, we are no longer making schedule changes for middle school students.
September Breakfast and Lunch Menus - 2 "New Item" Days - Following these days, surveys will go out to see if these are items we want to permanently add into our rotation.
Due to changes in our attendance policies as it relates to changes made at the state level, this will be how the county is handling our participants in the Buckwheat Festival this year as it relates to attendance. More info will follow.

This week's #PrestonCountyReads focus. Each week, we'll be posting different tips to improve your child's reading. Be sure to include the hashtag on any posts, images or videos you'd like to share of your student working on their skills. Remember, numerous studies have defined that 15-30 minutes of reading a day will help your child improve their literacy, and even for adults will support brain health for a lifetime.
2024 Knight Night Relays Information: Saturday, August 24th @ PHS 5:15-9:30. (Please see images below)
- The traffic flow around PHS will be in a clockwise direction.
- Someone will be manning the gate that will permit coaches with their SSAC card, handicapped spectators, vendors / food trucks, and buses. They will drop off at the baseball field gate and continue around the school in a clockwise direction.
- Buses can park on the left side of the road once they pass the stadium or at the bus garage.
- Spectator parking will be in the front of the school, the lower lots, the grass field near the maintenance building, or CPMS.
- WVU Olympians (Amy Cashin of Australia and Ceili McCabe of Canada) will be signing autographs at the top of the stadium.
Due to ongoing road work in the South Preston area, buses are sometimes running late. If your child's bus is running late and you're concerned, please contact the school at 304-568-2292. Thank you!
Good evening Preston County. Just a reminder that tomorrow begins our staggered start week. Tomorrow we welcome back our 4th, 5th, 11th and 12th grade students. Remember, school breakfast and lunch are free for all students, and we encourage all of you to take advantage and get fueled up for your day. See you tomorrow.
Just a reminder for all parents and students of the vaccination requirements to enter school in the state of WV. These are for all students.
