Out of an abundance of caution, the fourth grade trip for Adventure Pocahontas scheduled for tomorrow will be cancelled. Students will report to school as usual. Thank you.
Administrators from Pocahontas County Schools were made aware of a variety of concerning social media communications. To keep our students and staff safe, school was canceled in an abundance of caution giving us time to investigate in conjunction with West Virginia State Police and West Virginia Capitol Police. School will resume tomorrow, Thursday, September 12, 2024.
We have several layers of protocols we utilize to keep our schools safe. Our schools are locked and under video surveillance at all times. All staff are trained in situational awareness and safety protocols. School safety is everyone’s primary responsibility. If you see something say something to the appropriate authorities. Please call the Safe Schools helpline at 1-866-723-3982.
We appreciate everyone working together to keep our students, staff, and communities safe, especially on Patriots’ Day.
We feel it is in the best interest of all of our students and staff to close schools on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

Good evening,
We are off to a great school year at Hillsboro. Attending school every day and coming to school on time is very important to a child's success. However, please do not drop your children off and leave them unattended outside until you see a staff member on duty. Our staff reports to duty at 8:15 each morning on the sidewalk to greet the children for the day. Thank you. Have a great evening.
Please consider contributing supplies for Pocahontas County students! 📓📚🖍️✏️✂️📏 #Packthebus
