Due to the current Winter Weather Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service, all schools in Pocahontas County will be closed. Students will complete their fifth snow packet assignments.
This decision to close schools on Thursday, January 16, is based on predictions of cold temperatures in the morning and snow arriving in our area during school hours with the heaviest snowfall predicted during our evening commute home.
Just a reminder that Pocahontas County Schools Pre-K registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open! 👧 📚🖍
Our preschool program is a proud partner of the North Central West Virginia Community Action Association (NCWVCAA) Head Start initiative. NCWVCAA Head Start provides additional services to Pre-K parents that meet federal income guidelines. If you are interested in Head Start services, please let your school know.
Dress warm and see you on a three-hour delay on Wednesday!

Due to inclement weather conditions, all Pocahontas County Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 7. Students will complete Snow Packet #2.
Stay warm and safe.
The January 7th, 2025, Pocahontas County Board of Education meeting has been canceled due to inclement weather. It has been rescheduled for Tuesday, January 14th. It will start at 6 pm at the Board of Education Office at 404 Old Buckeye Road, Buckeye, WV.
HES Parents:
Tomorrow is our first snow packet day. Please feel free to reach out to our staff if you have any questions. This page: https://bit.ly/HES_OfficeHours has clickable links to each teacher's office hours. ❄️
Please be careful in the storm. This day does count as a day not in school even though it is a State of Emergency. The State of Emergency will free up funding for our state during the storm.
Students will need to work on their first day of snow packets.
Stay safe and warm!
📢Parents and Students❄️:
Beginning our next snow day/school cancellation, students will need to start completing their snow packets. ❄️ Snow packets ensure that students can continue meaningful learning on snow days or emergency closures while preserving our summer break.
We are permitted to use 5 non-traditional learning days (snow packet days) before we have to make up days at the end of the school year. ❄️📚
🗣️📞To provide additional support during snow packet days, each school will now hold “office hours” via Teams/email. Students and parents can reach out with questions during that time and a staff member will respond. These hours will be posted to each school’s website/social media accounts after the next snow day and on the district site here: https://boe.pocahontas.k12.wv.us/page/snow-packet-info.
If you have questions about snow packets, please contact your child's school for more information or use the office hours to reach out to your child's teacher on snow days. ☃️
Quick update on Pre-K registration: Application packets will be available the next day school is in session. Stay safe and warm! ❄️☃️
