Good evening, Copperheads! I hope that this message finds you safe and warm. Tomorrow is our 6th snow day which means students are required to do their first day of snow packets. If you cannot find your packet, I will attach it to this message. You are to pick one of the ten assignments and do it and turn it in the following school day. This will be graded and be put in multiple classes as a grade. If you have questions, you are able to log into Microsoft Teams and call your teacher or email your teacher with questions. Calling into Teams is NOT required. We anticipate that this snow packet be straight forward for students and families, but please reach out if not. Please stay warm and safe and we hope to see you all soon!
Please be careful in the storm. This day does count as a day not in school even though it is a State of Emergency. The State of Emergency will free up funding for our state during the storm.
Students will need to work on their first day of snow packets.
Stay safe and warm!
📢Parents and Students❄️:
Beginning our next snow day/school cancellation, students will need to start completing their snow packets. ❄️ Snow packets ensure that students can continue meaningful learning on snow days or emergency closures while preserving our summer break.
We are permitted to use 5 non-traditional learning days (snow packet days) before we have to make up days at the end of the school year. ❄️📚
🗣️📞To provide additional support during snow packet days, each school will now hold “office hours” via Teams/email. Students and parents can reach out with questions during that time and a staff member will respond. These hours will be posted to each school’s website/social media accounts after the next snow day and on the district site here: https://boe.pocahontas.k12.wv.us/page/snow-packet-info.
If you have questions about snow packets, please contact your child's school for more information or use the office hours to reach out to your child's teacher on snow days. ☃️
Pocahontas County Schools is closed due to winter weather and snow predictions for Friday, January 3, 2025. Stay safe!
All Pocahontas County Schools will operate on a three-hour delay on Friday, January 3, 2025. We will continue to monitor weather conditions.
❄️Update for Parents and Students ❄️
Our district has one snow day left before snow packets start. Snow packets ensure that students can continue meaningful learning on snow days or emergency closures while preserving our summer break. We are permitted to use 5 non-traditional learning days (snow packet days) before we have to make up days at the end of the school year. ❄️📚
If you have questions about snow packets, please contact your child's school for more information.
Let's keep learning, no matter the weather! 🌟
Due to current and forecasted weather, all Pocahontas County Schools will operate on a 3-hour delay on Thursday, January 2, 2025. We feel it is important for our drivers to start their routes in daylight when the weather conditions are questionable.
