Our students and staff recently came together for a special surprise for one of our beloved SROs, Officer Cat, as she prepares to travel and continue her health journey.
Officer Cat is a familiar face, a trusted friend, and such a special part of our school family. We wanted to make sure she knows just how many people are in her corner, sending her love, encouragement, and support every step of the way.
We're cheering for you, Officer Cat! Your Redskin family is behind you! ❤️🤍

Our newest faculty and staff members recently completed Capturing Kids' Hearts (CKH) training, preparing them to join our district wide commitment to building strong relationships, creating positive learning environments, and helping every student feel connected and supported at school.
Capturing Kids' Hearts will continue to be a strong focus across Pocahontas School District this year. From greeting students and building relationships to creating Social Contracts together in the classroom, CKH helps establish a culture where students feel valued, respected, and ready to learn.
Parents and families, we encourage you to be part of the conversation! Ask your student about their classroom Social Contract. What did their class decide was important? What words did they choose? What does it look like in their classroom?
CKH is more than a program—it's about creating a culture of connection and belonging throughout PSD. ❤️🤍

Welcome to the Redskin family! ❤️
We are proud to celebrate two major accomplishments that reflect our district's commitment to serving students and families.
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, every Pocahontas School District student will receive FREE breakfast and FREE lunch through Provision 2. This achievement helps ensure every student has access to nutritious meals each school day while providing meaningful support to families across our district. Families will still be asked to complete a meal application, as these applications are critical to supporting district funding and the long-term success of the program.
That commitment to serving our community extends well beyond the school year. This summer, our Child Nutrition Department provided 9,873 meals to children throughout our community during 28 days of service, including 4,681 breakfasts and 5,192 lunches. On average, the team served approximately 353 meals each day, ensuring children continued to have access to healthy, nutritious meals while school was out of session.
These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our Child Nutrition Department. Thank you to our cafeteria staff for the care you show our students and community each and every day.
