POCAHONTAS SCHOOL DISTRICT
GENERAL AWARENESS STATEMENT
Pocahontas School District
Sunday, August 25, 2019
Pocahontas School District would like to inform our parents and patrons about information that was presented to us by the Pocahontas Police Department. The Little Rock FBI office issued a general awareness statement regarding a report they received that a school shooting would occur in Arkansas on 8/29/19. The reporting parting lives in another country, and his/her identity could not be confirmed. The reporting party allegedly received the information while playing an online video game. The threat is not specific to any schools in Arkansas, but we at Pocahontas Public Schools take all such law enforcement announcements seriously at our campuses. We will continue to monitor the provided information in coordination with local law enforcement and take appropriate security measures. As of this time, all campuses will operate on their regular schedules on 8/29/19, but with a strong presence provided by our local law enforcement agencies.
Kindergarten fun.
First day of Kindergarten!!
