❄️Update for Parents and Students ❄️
Our district has one snow day left before snow packets start. Snow packets ensure that students can continue meaningful learning on snow days or emergency closures while preserving our summer break. We are permitted to use 5 non-traditional learning days (snow packet days) before we have to make up days at the end of the school year. ❄️📚
If you have questions about snow packets, please contact your child's school for more information.
Let's keep learning, no matter the weather! 🌟


Due to current and forecasted weather, all Pocahontas County Schools will operate on a 3-hour delay on Thursday, January 2, 2025. We feel it is important for our drivers to start their routes in daylight when the weather conditions are questionable.


Subject to change but up to date as of January 1, 2025.
Happy New Year to all - see you all back in school tomorrow!

Parents,
Several students have been given Science Fair Permission slips to attend the district science fair. Please check with your student to see if they received one and return it signed to the school tomorrow, December 19. We need these BEFORE we leave for the break.
