Pocahontas School District is implementing its second year of the Cart of Kindness initiative, offering grocery support to a limited number of families during this season. With help from our local Harps, we’ve been able to expand the program this year and nearly double the support provided. Together, we’re helping spread kindness throughout the Redskin community.
We're sorry for the inconvenience! Our phone lines are currently being replaced due to damage caused by squirrels chewing through the cables. Phone lines should be back up within the next two hours. We appreciate your patience while repairs are underway.
✨ We're excited to share a refreshed visual identity across our website, district app, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and more. This updated look reflects our continued commitment to clear communication and a unified, modern brand for our schools.
While the visuals are new, our mission remains the same—supporting students, staff, and families with purpose and pride. You may also notice continued refinements as we update each platform to ensure a consistent experience across the district.

It's almost time for the Business Expo at MD Williams! Our 4th-6th grade GT students have been working hard to prepare and have created some amazing products to sell on Tuesday, December 16th.
Please help me in reminding students to try and bring smaller bills- most items cost less than $5 and it makes it easier for students to make change.
Thank you for your continued support!
Wishing all students and staff a joyful and restful Thanksgiving Break! Enjoy this time being with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on December 1st.

When Property Values Rise, State Support Falls - Here's Why
Rising assessments change who pays - not how much schools receive. As the local tax base grows, the state adjusts its contribution, meaning the overall funding level stays nearly unchanged.

Did you know? 📊
Pocahontas School District currently has one of the lowest millage rates among surrounding districts.
Even with the proposed millage increase, our rate would remain competitive with neighboring schools while allowing us to build safer, more modern learning environments for our students.
An investment in education is an investment in our community’s future.
