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.

Good morning West Preston families! Our new drop off loop in the morning is working well, but we wanted to provide some friendly reminders. If you are first in line for the day, please pull all the way up in the drop off area. Do not release your students from cars until our staff is outside at 7:00am. Each time the line moves, please pull all the way up. Guardians should remain in cars during the entire drop off process. We will unbuckle students as needed and help them exit the car safely. Thank you for your help! If you have any questions please contact the school. Have a wonderful day!

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.

West Preston School will be implementing a new morning drop off and afternoon pick up route effective Monday, August 26th. Cars will still enter on the upper portion of Eby School Road near the church and will travel down the hill towards the old Arthurdale gymnasium. Instead of continuing out Eby School Road, traffic will make a left just after the gym and make a loop around the old gymnasium. Cars will then turn right to head towards the typical drop-off points at the school. Traffic will continue to flow from there as it always has. The new route is pictured below and will eliminate the blockage of Eby School road for local community members. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of this new route and make changes as needed moving forward. Please be patient as we work through this process. Have a great day!
