As we enter the winter weather season, Pocahontas School District wants to share how weather-related decisions are made and how families will receive important updates.

🌨 How decisions are made
District leaders closely monitor weather forecasts, road conditions, and guidance from local and state officials to determine the safest plan for students and staff.

⏰ When decisions are shared
Whenever possible, decisions regarding delays, early dismissals, or school closures will be communicated as early as conditions allow.

📢 Where updates will be posted
All official updates will be shared through:
• District social media outlets
• District website
• Text alert system
• School app
• Local media (including K8 and other outlets)

Please ensure your contact information is up to date with your child’s building office and that you have downloaded the school app by searching “Pocahontas Public Schools, AR” in your Apple or Android app store.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

🧠👶 Learning comes to life in Ms. Hudson’s AP Psychology class!

Students are participating in an Infant Care Simulation project—also known as “sock babies.” Over the course of a week, students will care for their babies while documenting their “development” and responsibilities along the way.

This hands-on project helps students better understand child development, responsibility, and real-world application of psychology concepts. 📘✨
