In Mrs. Taylor’s 4th grade classes, students created their own Affirmation Bags! Throughout the week, they write positive notes for their classmates and drop them in each other’s bags. On Fridays, students get to open their bags and read all the uplifting words written just for them.

This activity is part of our district’s Capturing Kids’ Hearts Initiative, which encourages students to build relationships, practice empathy, and create a classroom where everyone feels valued. ❤️🖤

Bus Evacuation Drills & Safety Planning

This week, Pocahontas School District students and staff successfully completed bus evacuation drills with the support of Black River Technical College. We’re proud of our students, staff, and transportation team for their teamwork and focus on safety. A special thank-you also goes to our local safety agencies for assisting with these important drills and for their continued partnership in keeping our students safe.

As part of our planning, we want to remind families that if an emergency ever required us to relocate students, our official Parent/Student Reunification Site is:
Black River Technical College Randolph County Development Center Lobby – 1410 Hwy 304 East

Parents and guardians would be directed to this site for a safe and orderly student pick-up. Thank you to everyone who helps us make safety a top priority at PSD!

Starting Monday, we will engage in a bus evacuation and reunification drill for all students and staff. This drill requires relocating students off campus to a safe location. We will have buses transporting students from campus to BRTC mid-morning several days next week. We are sharing this information so all members of our community are aware that this is a planned and coordinated drill and there is no real emergency. As always, thank you for your support.
