🍎 Pocahontas County Schools is Off to a Roaring Start for the 2026-2027 School Year! πŸŽ‰

The excitement of a new school year is in the air, and our teachers, principals, and support staff have already been hard at work preparing for student success. Last week was filled with meaningful professional learning opportunities focused on ensuring every student has the tools and support needed to thrive.

A dedicated group of our K-5 educators, principals, and support staff participated in Science of Reading training, strengthening instructional practices that help all students reach grade-level reading expectations by third grade. Literacy remains a top priority, and we are committed to providing our students with the strongest possible foundation for future success.

In addition, I had the opportunity to travel to Charleston with Ms. Stephanie Burns to review the newly released West Virginia Writing Rubrics for grades 3-8. These important instructional resources will help teachers support student growth in writing and ensure our students are well-prepared for future academic and career opportunities.

As we move through the school year, our goal is to host family engagement opportunities at each school to share information about literacy, writing, student achievement, and college and career readiness. We believe that strong partnerships between schools, families, and the community are essential to student success, and we look forward to keeping everyone informed and engaged.

While the first day of school is one of my favorite days of the year, I don't always get the opportunity to see all the wonderful photos of students arriving at our schools. I'd love to celebrate this exciting time with you! Please share your first day, or first week, of school photos in the comments below so we can celebrate the beginning of another great year together.

Here's to an outstanding 2026-2027 school year for all of our students, staff, families, and community! β€οΈπŸ’›

Dear Hillsboro Elementary School Families,

We are pleased to share that power will be on at Hillsboro Elementary School tomorrow, Thursday, August 20, 2026 and we will operate on a regular schedule. Students should report to school at their normal time.

Please note that Mon Power has scheduled a power outage for Wednesday, August 26, 2026. As a result, students will not report to school on August 26th. Instead, students will complete their Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) learning packets at home that day.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Spencer
Principal
Hillsboro Elementary School

From the Desk of Superintendent Dr. Leatha Williams:

Today is a moment of pride for all of us across Pocahontas County. We are excited to share that Pocahontas County Schools has moved up several positions in the rankings and is now ranked #9 in West Virginia, placing us among the Top 10 school districts in the state! πŸŽ‰πŸ†

This accomplishment reflects the collective efforts of our entire community. Just one year ago, our district was working through state intervention status. Today, we are celebrating a Top 10 ranking. That kind of progress does not happen by chance. It happens when students, educators, staff, families, community partners, and residents come together with a shared commitment to helping our children succeed.

Every student who worked hard, every teacher who inspired learning, every staff member who supported our schools, every parent who encouraged their child, and every community member who invested in our future helped make this achievement possible. This recognition belongs to all of us.

As we celebrate, it is important to note that this ranking data is different from our Accountability Data. Accountability measures exclude students who were not enrolled for the full academic year, while this ranking includes students who were assessed in our school system. As a result, the two measures should not be viewed as interchangeable.

Even with that distinction, this achievement is worth celebrating. It demonstrates the dedication, perseverance, and teamwork that can be found throughout Pocahontas County. It is a reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together on behalf of our students.

While we are proud of how far we have come, we are equally excited about where we are headed. The progress we have made over the past year shows that there is no limit to what our schools and communities can achieve together.

πŸ† Proud of Our Progress. Grateful for Our Community.
⭐ Working Together for Student Success.
πŸš€ The Best Is Yet to Come!
