Monday, January 26 is a remote learning day, and students are expected to complete Day 3 of their snow packets. Marlinton Elementary staff will be available from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM to assist with questions. Teachers (Pre-K–5th grade), Special Education, and Related Arts can be reached through Microsoft Teams or email. Staff contact information is available on our school website. Students can access Teams by visiting the Pocahontas County Schools website, clicking Student Quick Links, selecting Microsoft 365, and signing in with their WV SSO account.

Just as a reminder, when a non-traditional instructional day is called, students are expected to complete the assignment labeled for that specific day in their snow packet. Completed work must be returned within two (2) school days of the student’s return to school.

Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!

A letter titled “Youth Basketball League Transition” dated December 17, 2025, from Pocahontas County Schools. The letter announces that starting this year, 4th and 5th grade basketball will transition from a school-run program to a county-wide youth basketball league (PCYBL). It explains that elementary basketball is not governed by WVSSAC and will now be community-based, supported by volunteers and parents. The letter invites families to an interest and planning meeting on January 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM in the PCHS auditorium to discuss league structure, grade levels, rules, season schedule, volunteer needs, and equipment procedures. It lists reasons for the change, including aligning governance, providing equal opportunities, and increasing community involvement. Contact information for three school representatives is provided at the bottom.
The next LSIC Meeting will be Monday, January 5, 2026 at 4:30 PM.
