This week, we proudly celebrate our incredible assistant principals who play such a vital role in the success of Pocahontas School District.
From supporting students and staff to helping lead our schools each and every day, their impact is felt in every hallway, classroom, and conversation. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to doing what’s best for kids make a difference we are truly grateful for.
Please join us in thanking our assistant principals for all they do to serve our students, staff, and community!

Today we are incredibly grateful for the teamwork and dedication shown during our Pocahontas School District evacuation and reunification drill.
A huge thank you to Black River Technical College, Pocahontas Fire Department, Pocahontas Police Department, and Law Enforcement Training Academy (LETA), along with all of our community partners, for helping coordinate and support this important effort.
This drill is a required part of our ongoing safety planning and plays a critical role in ensuring we are prepared to protect our students and staff in any situation. Drills like these take planning, communication, and strong partnerships—and today proved just how committed our community is to keeping our schools safe.
We appreciate everyone who played a role in making this a success!
Tomorrow, April 7, Pocahontas School District will conduct a districtwide bus evacuation and reunification drill for all students and staff.
This drill will involve transporting students off campus mid-morning to a designated safe location at Black River Technical College. We are sharing this information so our community is aware that this is a planned and coordinated drill—there is no real emergency.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
Mark your calendars!

Today, our district responded to a false emergency report, often referred to as a “swatting” call. These types of calls are made to create confusion and prompt a law enforcement response.
Our School Resource Officers and local police were notified immediately and worked closely with school officials to assess the situation. It was quickly determined that the report was not credible, and at no point were students or staff in danger.
We are grateful for the swift and coordinated response of our law enforcement partners and the professionalism of our school teams.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and we appreciate the continued support of our community.
