PCS will be closing schools and going to remote learning effective tomorrow September 14th. Students will return to school on Monday, September 27th. All sports and extra-curricular activities are cancelled.
Teachers were notified late today and will spend Tuesday and Wednesday preparing for full remote learning which begins on Thursday, September 16th. Students may have paper assignments to complete or will have online assignments on Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, students should continue to login to Seesaw and Schoology to check for assignments. Students should continue lessons already assigned, practice reading and math skills on iReady (K-8) and Exact Path (9-12) and complete any other lessons assigned by their classroom teachers. Directions will follow on how to sign up for weekly meal boxes that will be delivered to your homes. Here is the link to Mr. Wotring's announcement https://youtu.be/c6GWceGvOlE
The next time you receive a text message from PCS it will come from 98900 and NOT 98901 and it will automatically send a CTIA compliant opt-in OR opt-out text with necessary disclaimers. So carefully read your next text message. (This message was not sent as a text.) If you are not receiving text messages yet it is because secretaries are in to process of changing phone numbers from the Online Information Form you filled out.

https://shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecommerce/as-seen-in-schools/360fair.html?fairId=4894785
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week will be our WPS open house nights! Due to the increasing number of Covid-19 cases in our community, these events will be fully online. Teachers will be live to discuss their plans for the year and to answer any questions.
There will be several other activities available online as well including the school book fair! Please check out the attached flyer.
If you have a student in Mrs. Reggi’s class, Mrs. Bowmar’s class, or a student in 5th grade who is currently on quarantine, we have instructional packets prepared at the school. If you are able, please swing by the school to pick them up.
If you have a student quarantining in another grade or class, please contact your child’s teacher about learning activities.
We know we don’t have Schoology and Seesaw fully set-up yet, so we will work with students when they return to catch them up on anything they miss. Thank you for your patience!
The Covid Testing scheduled at Preston Memorial Hospital on Saturday, September 4, 2021 from 1:00- 3:00 has been CANCELLED!
Because of several quarantines due to contact tracing, Preston Memorial Hospital will be setting up COVID testing on Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. for those that need to be tested in order to get back in school. Parents must call the COVID hotline at 304.329.7285 to register for the test.
Preston County Schools will be dismissing at approx. 11:30 AM from all schools except Preston HIgh School. Busses from Preston High will be dissmissing as soon they can return to PHS, approx. 12:30-12:45. Student drivers will be dismissed ahead of busses.
We have notification of two student COVID-19 cases, one in Mrs. Reggi's first grade classroom and one in Mrs. Bowmar's Kindergarten classroom. In accordance with district COVID-19 protocols, all students in these two classrooms will be required to quarantine beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1st. All students may return to school on Friday, September 10th or your child can be tested on or after Saturday, September 4th and return with a negative test results on September 7th. If you have any questions, please contact the school and/or the Preston County Health Department at (304) 329-0096.
The Preston County Board of Education met on August 30, 2021, and issued a mask mandate through September 27, 2021, when the issue will be revisited. If all students are masked, CDC, state board, and local health department guidelines state that an exposed student would not have to be quarantined. This should help us keep students in school for now. https://youtu.be/TMe1nED-UUs
Join us at the Back to School Bash!
Jack Keim, President of the Preston County Board of Education, has called an Emergency Meeting of the Preston County Board of Ed. on Monday, August 30, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. for the purpose of discussing masks in schools
