Good evening Terra Alta East Preston Middle School families. We continue to see behavioral issues within the middle school regarding disrespect, interruptions to instruction, off task behaviors, and refusal to work (defiance). We are diligently working through these issues through conferences with parents, consequences for actions, and following all processes and policies set forth by the WV Board of Education and the Preston County Board of Education. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well being of our students we are thus postponing this Friday's middle school dance. Please reinforce with your student the importance of education and the severity of consequences for disrespectful and disruptive behaviors. Unfortunately, this is not all of our students. Some students are making good choices and suffering as a result of the poor choices of many others. We will work together to resolve these issues and have a better school as a result. We appreciate your patience and support.
The middle school dance for Friday 11/15/24 is postponed.

On Monday, November 4, TAEP hosted the NED Show - the Mindset Mission Assembly.
NED and our students took a journey to find their positive mindset. The show was filled
with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learned the
hidden message in NED's name:
Never give up — understand The Power of YET
Encourage others — spark courage in other people
Do your best® — always be learning and growing
Do you want to learn to yo? A yo-yo is both a mindset tool and a tangible reminder of
NED's message. While learning to yo, children will make mistakes, try again and improve. The NED Show is offering yo-yo's for sale at TAEP. Prices are included on the attached flier: Classic Yos $10; Super Spinners $14; Speciality Selection $18. Yos are on sale at TAEP through November 13th from 7 - 8 am.
