At/on/over/for the weekend

Hello,

Why do some sources say that at the weekend is wrong, while other ones say it's correct? Which form is acceptable in American English?

On Saturdays her sister Ann usually comes to stay with Mary on/at/for/over the weekend/s/.

What are you going to do at/on/ for /over the weekend/s/? We are going to paris on/at/for/over the weekend/s/.

Are you going to stay here for/at /on/over the weekend/s/?

Thanks
