Marlinton Middle School will be sponsoring a “Family Literature Night” on Wednesday: March 20th, 2024 from 4:00-6:00. Come hangout with your child while enjoying refreshments, engaging in our Reading Madness, and seeing some things happening in our school.

With March 1st being tomorrow, we would like to introduce our 16 novels for “reading madness” at Marlinton Middle School. The Pocahontas County Reading Council has worked hard to think of ways to promote reading across the county. We can’t wait for our students to mix some of our favorite novels at school with a little bit of March basketball.
Students will get the opportunity to vote for their favorite novels to move through the bracket! We will be following the March Madness tournament in our own unique way. Stay posted as our students vote to move novels to the Elite 8!
Due to potential icy conditions throughout the county tomorrow morning, all Pocahontas County Schools will operate on a three-hour delay on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
A couple of updates for MMS -
The county social studies fair is tomorrow at PCHS during school day.
After school tutoring will be Tuesday/Thursday this week if staffing allows.
There will be a three hour early out on Wednesday for staff to have a required faculty senate meeting.
On Wednesday, the sasquatch ski program will leave MMS at 12:30 and return to wellness that night at regular scheduled pick-up time.
Thank you!
During the February 20, 2024, Pocahontas County Board of Education meeting, Laurel Dilley, a mathematics teacher at Pocahontas County High School, and students Miranda Gum and Taylor Arnold shared details about the SAT and ACT prep class at the high school.

Good morning. We are not having after school tutoring or drama today due to not having available staff. We hope to resume after school on Monday. Also, we have moved signing out students to the front door. An approved adult must come to the front door to sign your student out of tutoring and drama. If no one is at the front door and you need your child early, please ring door bell. Thank you!
From the Regional Science Fair Coordinator:
After careful consideration, we have decided to reschedule tomorrow's Regional Science Fair due to impending winter weather predicted to affect our region. We feel this is in the best interest of students from all participating counties as it ensures safety and equity.
The Regional Science Fair will now be held next Saturday, February 24th. The previously communicated location and times will remain the same.
Just a reminder that progress reports went out today. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher via email or LiveGrades. Also, we encourage students to sign up and stay after school for tutoring on Mondays and Wednesdays. This really helps and gives students the opportunity to work with teachers one on one or in small groups.
Just got an update and current location is between Craigsville and Richwood.
Hello all. Since basketball games at MMS were canceled tonight, staff chose to give students time to see Marshall University. They are about to board to buses to return home. The estimated return time will be 6:30. Thank you! Big shoutout to students for great behavior and staff for making this trip happen for our students!
