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!
