What do teachers do on a Saturday in February? Kindergarten through second grade teachers, along with Title I teachers, throughout Pocahontas County worked together to learn about a new professional learning protocol - The Lesson Study Model. Dr. Andrea Lemon, West Virginia Department of Education, facilitated the learning as the grade level groups established norms, brainstormed focus areas, as well as the case pupils. We are excited to move to this approach of professional learning. This opportunity is funded through a grant awarded from the West Virginia Public Education Collaborative (WVPEC) and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.

Good evening Hillsbor Families! For the week of February 21st Basketball and Cheerleading practice will be Monday and Tuesday. The first home game will be Thursday the 24th starting at 5:30.
