All 6th grade students were given their LiveGrades information last week. Please log in and check grades. This is a great communication tool and one staff use often. This method of communication and tracking of grades is very important as we do not have an interventionist or after school tutoring. Thank you so much!
Governor Jim Justice proclaimed that today, September 22, is School Service Personnel Day. We know that every day is a day to celebrate our dedicated service personnel of Pocahontas County Schools. We are blessed to have our service personnel who provide extra care to students making sure that they arrive safely to school and home, have hot meals to nourish their bodies, provide additional academic support, have a clean and welcoming school environment, and are greeted with a smile.
Thank you for all that you do and for being part of the Pocahontas County Schools Team!
RADA orders need to be here tomorrow at noon by the latest to Felicia Smith.
Thank you!
Test scores went home yesterday and today with students. These are the results for their West Virginia Summative Assessment taken at the end of last year.
Also tomorrow is picture day. Please bring envelope and money if this is something that you want to purchase. All students will take photos for school yearbook.
Happy Service Personnel Day to the best of the best! I would put MMS service personnel up against any in the state. Thank you all for all that you do for the staff, students, families and community of MMS on September 20 and every other day!

As stated in your instructions, there should be no electronics or valuables on this trip.
