Wow, our schoolwide attendance for today is 95.6%!! Great job! Let's see if we can increase that for tomorrow. We've started some friendly competitions between our homeroom classes. 2nd grade has the highest percentage so far for the school year. 4th grade is nipping at their heels. We have a traveling trophy that will be passed around each week. Our attendance motto is Eagle Strong Attendance All Day Long!
A few reminders about the upcoming Veteran's Day holiday:
First, all 5 district schools will be hosting Veteran's Day Programs, and those details can be found on the Pocahontas County Schools website. We would be honored for you to join us at those events.
Additionally, on Monday, November 11th, all schools will be closed to observe the national Veteran's Day holiday.
Lastly, the Pocahontas County School District wishes to extend our sincerest gratitude to our Veterans for their service.

🎉 We want to lift up Tiffany Wayne for taking one of our simple math printable games for 2nd grade and turning it into a huge gameboard. She laminated the pieces, and now a group of 5 kiddos can play together around a table. The kids LOVE it, and we wanted to brag on her.
Nothing is as cool as a kid saying we’re making learning fun. We appreciate you, Tiffany and EVERY teacher, aide, interventionist, & support staff who is making math more engaging and fun for our kids!!!
We’re also grateful to every family playing math games with your student. Fact fluency is the foundation for math success, and when practice is fun, kids learn the most! 📚✨ Happy Halloween!! 🎃

🚍 National School Bus Safety Week Reminder! 🚍
🟡 SLOW on YELLOW: Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and get ready to stop.
🛑 STOP on RED: When you see a school bus with flashing red lights, it means kids are getting on or off. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the bus moves. It's THE LAW!
Let’s keep our kids safe and ensure they get to school and back home safely. Share this message and help spread awareness! 🚌💛
