Come help us meet our goal by buying one of our last mums. We have 2 white and yellow, 3 yellow, & 6 red. Thank you!!
We are experiencing issues with our main phone lines at all schools. Schools can still call out but they are unable to receive calls. A trouble ticket has been opened with our vendor.
As a temporary workaround, if you need to reach staff a school, call our Central Office at 304-799-4505 and ask to be transferred to a staff member at the school.

Please come support MMS students and staff by buying some of our last mums. We have about 30 left. Thank you!
41 mums left - please come support MMS students and staff. This is the last week to buy. Thank you!
Attention families - if you did not attend Open House and sign the device agreement, please come to MMS to sign before Wednesday of next week. We would like to hand devices out to students next week and these must be signed beforehand.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Please come support MMS and buy your mums for fall decoration. They are beautiful. $15 per flower. Thank you for your support!
From the desk of the Superintendent: On September 8, I had the honor of traveling to Charleston with Ms. Samantha Feather for the inaugural Champions of Learning event. It was a wonderful evening celebrating excellence in education and recognizing an outstanding teacher from Pocahontas County Schools.
Ms. Feather represents the very best of our profession. Her dedication, commitment, and passion for our students and our schools are truly admirable.
Congratulations again, Ms. Feather, and thank you for your service and dedication to Pocahontas County Schools. We are proud to have you represent our district!

🍎 Pocahontas County Schools is Off to a Roaring Start for the 2026-2027 School Year! 🎉
The excitement of a new school year is in the air, and our teachers, principals, and support staff have already been hard at work preparing for student success. Last week was filled with meaningful professional learning opportunities focused on ensuring every student has the tools and support needed to thrive.
A dedicated group of our K-5 educators, principals, and support staff participated in Science of Reading training, strengthening instructional practices that help all students reach grade-level reading expectations by third grade. Literacy remains a top priority, and we are committed to providing our students with the strongest possible foundation for future success.
In addition, I had the opportunity to travel to Charleston with Ms. Stephanie Burns to review the newly released West Virginia Writing Rubrics for grades 3-8. These important instructional resources will help teachers support student growth in writing and ensure our students are well-prepared for future academic and career opportunities.
As we move through the school year, our goal is to host family engagement opportunities at each school to share information about literacy, writing, student achievement, and college and career readiness. We believe that strong partnerships between schools, families, and the community are essential to student success, and we look forward to keeping everyone informed and engaged.
While the first day of school is one of my favorite days of the year, I don't always get the opportunity to see all the wonderful photos of students arriving at our schools. I'd love to celebrate this exciting time with you! Please share your first day, or first week, of school photos in the comments below so we can celebrate the beginning of another great year together.
Here's to an outstanding 2026-2027 school year for all of our students, staff, families, and community! ❤️💛

Families will be able to sign the required paperwork for one to one devices and participate in volunteer training. This year's theme is "Out of This World," and we look forward to welcoming every student and family to Marlinton Middle School. We hope to see you there on August 25 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Please see all the prizes that come along with attending open house tomorrow. Not only do you get to meet staff members, see student work, sign for one to one devices, see student door decorations and much more - you get the chance to win one of the prizes shown. Big thanks to Ms. Hughes for a job well done planning such a wonderful open house for our families and students tomorrow - 4:00-6:00! Hope to see you all - starting with presentation from Mrs. Scotchie at 4:00 in gym.
