Our phone lines have been fully restored and are now in working order.
We had experienced some ongoing issues with the phone system this morning. However, our technology team has restored service and our phone systems are now fully operational. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
We went through our Lost and Found box at M.D. Williams and set everything out in the gym for students to look through. After every class came by, these are the items still unclaimed. All remaining items have been placed back in the Lost and Found box!

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.
