Due to a planned MonPower power outage affecting the Buckeye and Marlinton area on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the Pocahontas County Schools Central Office will temporarily relocate operations to Marlinton Middle School for the day.
As a result of the outage, telephone service for all Pocahontas County Schools locations throughout the county will be unavailable during the planned interruption.
Individuals with urgent or emergent concerns may contact the district by calling the Marlinton Middle School fax line at 304-799-7278. Community members may also email the appropriate staff member, and school personnel will respond as soon as possible.
Staff email addresses can be found on the Pocahontas County Schools website or directly at: https://boe.pocahontas.k12.wv.us/staff
Pocahontas County Schools appreciates the public's patience and understanding as MonPower completes this scheduled work. Normal operations and phone service are expected to resume once electrical service is restored.
For additional information, please visit the Pocahontas County Schools website.

Due to needing to meet deadlines, we are asking that you come pick up yearbooks by tomorrow at 3:00. If not, you will have to arrange with front office to do it at a later point and extras will be for sale at beginning of next school year. Thank you!
Good afternoon 7th grade parents. We mailed home placement recommendations for Algebra 1 next school year for those students who have applied. Please return these to MMS by July 1 using the addressed envelope. Unfortunately, we do not have enough numbers for Spanish 1 but will be offering a Spanish Exploratory. Thank you and have a great summer!
Yearbooks arrived today! If you ordered and would like to pick up, please do so before Thursday at 2:30. We did order a few extra.
Also if you didn't receive your report card or awards, they are also here.
Thanks!
Just a reminder that tomorrow we will be having field day. Please bring an extra set of clothes to change and a towel, apply sunscreen before coming, and money if you'd like to buy an ice cream from Real Whirled Ice Cream Co. Schedule will vary depending on weather but we will proceed with field day.
Band concert and awards day will be on Friday at 8:15 in gymnasium. We will also be handing out report cards then.
Good morning. Unfortunately due to weather, students won't be traveling today for the trip. However, we plan to continue our plans at MMS and hope you'll still participate if eligible. Bring your item to tie dye and money for the ice cream truck. Go Copperheads and congratulations on earning the end of the year reward!
Hello families,
This is a reminder that students attending the PBIS field trip tomorrow should come prepared for a fun day. Please have your child bring an extra change of clothes and a towel, as there may be activities where they could get wet.
Students should also bring a plain white T-shirt or another light-colored item they would like to tie-dye during the trip.
Also, if students would like to buy an ice cream from the Real Whirled Ice Cream Co - they will be coming to either Stillwell or to MMS, depending on weather. I would suggest no more than $10, depending on what your student would like to purchase.
Please note that if the weather does not cooperate, we have an alternate indoor plan in place so students will still be able to enjoy the day.
We look forward to a great trip! Thank you for your support, and we’ll see everyone tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening.
