Today we are incredibly grateful for the teamwork and dedication shown during our Pocahontas School District evacuation and reunification drill.
A huge thank you to Black River Technical College, Pocahontas Fire Department, Pocahontas Police Department, and Law Enforcement Training Academy (LETA), along with all of our community partners, for helping coordinate and support this important effort.
This drill is a required part of our ongoing safety planning and plays a critical role in ensuring we are prepared to protect our students and staff in any situation. Drills like these take planning, communication, and strong partnerships—and today proved just how committed our community is to keeping our schools safe.
We appreciate everyone who played a role in making this a success!
Tomorrow, April 7, Pocahontas School District will conduct a districtwide bus evacuation and reunification drill for all students and staff.
This drill will involve transporting students off campus mid-morning to a designated safe location at Black River Technical College. We are sharing this information so our community is aware that this is a planned and coordinated drill—there is no real emergency.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
Mark your calendars!

Today, our district responded to a false emergency report, often referred to as a “swatting” call. These types of calls are made to create confusion and prompt a law enforcement response.
Our School Resource Officers and local police were notified immediately and worked closely with school officials to assess the situation. It was quickly determined that the report was not credible, and at no point were students or staff in danger.
We are grateful for the swift and coordinated response of our law enforcement partners and the professionalism of our school teams.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and we appreciate the continued support of our community.
It’s a busy week for Pocahontas Athletics!
Take a look at what’s ahead and come out to support our Redskins!

Today we celebrate the incredible paraprofessionals who make a difference in our schools every day. ❤️
Their support, dedication, and care help our students succeed.
Thank you to our incredible paraprofessionals!
For Ashlyn, Pocahontas isn’t just where she works—it’s where her story began. ❤️
As a proud Pocahontas High School graduate, returning to teach feels like coming full circle. From her days as a student involved in sports and clubs to now leading her own classroom, she’s experienced firsthand what makes this district so special.
Now, alongside her husband, Tyler Lingo—who also teaches and coaches here—Pocahontas truly feels like home both inside and outside the classroom.
That’s what sets Pocahontas School District apart.
Our staff pour into students, create meaningful connections, and prepare them with real-life skills that go far beyond the classroom.
📝 School Choice Deadline: June 1
Choose opportunity. Choose Pocahontas. Choose to be a Redskin.
