📣 EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY | MDW

Today is Early Release Wednesday! Here are a few important reminders and updates for MDW families:

🚗 Remember the Horseshoe traffic flow and please follow the designated MDW lanes and staff directions. Remain in your vehicle and pull all the way forward to help us keep traffic moving.

🏷️ Please have your MDW car pickup tag clearly displayed in your vehicle. Having tags visible and ready will help our staff identify students and keep the line moving efficiently.

🚶 Walkers going to the church or funeral home will be released at 1:35 PM in an effort to help with traffic flow.

❤️ MDW students who need to wait for a PJHS student will be directed to a designated waiting area at PJHS to wait for that student.

💬 Please communicate your student’s expected dismissal plan with your student and their teacher. We know plans can change, but having a plan ahead of time helps everyone prepare.

⏰ Remember, checkouts, phone calls, and other office communication will be limited after 1:15 PM as staff shift their focus to dismissal.

📚 Students remaining on campus will be engaged in educational activities until regular dismissal, and buses will run at their normal times.

Thank you for working with us as we continue making adjustments to create a safer and smoother Early Release Wednesday!

📣 EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY UPDATE | MDW

MDW families, we have a couple of additional updates for Early Release Wednesday as we continue working to improve traffic flow and make dismissal as smooth as possible.

Walkers going to the church or funeral home will be released at 1:35 PM. This slightly earlier release is intended to help reduce congestion and improve traffic flow as car pickup begins.

MDW students waiting on a PJHS student will be directed to a designated waiting area at PJHS to wait for that student. This will help keep students safely out of the pickup traffic while also helping the Horseshoe continue moving.

As with any new process, we’ll continue to make small adjustments as we see what works best. We appreciate our MDW families working with us and following staff directions as we make Early Release Wednesday safer and smoother for everyone!

📣 EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY | SEPTEMBER 2

Early Release Wednesday is happening again this Wednesday, September 2!
As we continue working to make the process smoother and more efficient for our families, a few small changes are being made to improve the car pickup experience. We’ll share more information about those updates tomorrow for PES, so be on the lookout!

A few reminders as we prepare for Wednesday:

🚗 Remember the Horseshoe traffic flow for MDW and PJHS car pickup, and please continue to follow designated lanes and staff directions.

🏷️ MDW families: Please remember to have your car pickup tag clearly displayed in your vehicle. Having your tag visible and ready will help our staff identify students more quickly and keep the pickup line moving.

💬 Talk with your student and their teacher ahead of Wednesday about dismissal plans. We understand plans can change, but having that conversation ahead of time helps students and staff know what to expect and makes dismissal smoother for everyone.

⏰ Please take care of student checkouts before 1:15 PM. As dismissal approaches, office staff will be focused on coordinating students, transportation, and dismissal, so checkouts, phone calls, and other office communication will be limited after 1:15 PM.

📚 Students remaining on campus will continue to be engaged in educational activities until regular dismissal, and buses will run at their normal times.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue fine-tuning the Early Release Wednesday process!

🎶 Attention, new 6th grade band parents!

The Pocahontas Band will host a meeting tonight with an instrument representative from Amro Music. Instruments will be available to rent-to-own, and because the district has a limited number of school-owned instruments, parents are strongly encouraged to attend if possible.

We’re excited to welcome our newest students to the Pocahontas Band Program! 🎺🥁🎷

📢 TODAY IS EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY!

Early Release begins at 1:45 PM today, August 26. As we prepare for dismissal, please take a moment to review a few important reminders — especially our NEW horseshoe traffic flow for MDW and PJHS.

NEW HORSESHOE TRAFFIC FLOW
MDW car pickup should use the TWO OUTER LANES, marked in RED on the traffic graphic.
PJHS car pickup should use the TWO INNER LANES, marked in BLUE.

Picking up students from BOTH MDW & PJHS? Please use the MDW outer lanes. This is the safest option for our younger Redskins.

MDW FAMILIES: HAVE YOUR CAR TAG READY!
Please make sure your MDW car tag is clearly displayed and visible as you enter the pickup area. Having tags ready will help staff identify students quickly and keep the line moving.

HORSESHOE REMINDERS
Please remain in your vehicle, pull all the way forward, and follow the directions of staff members who will be outside assisting with traffic and student pickup. Your cooperation will help us keep vehicles moving safely and efficiently.

PLAN AHEAD BEFORE 1:15 PM
As dismissal approaches, our building staff will be focused on coordinating students, transportation, and dismissal procedures. Student checkouts and phone communication will be limited after 1:15 PM, so please take care of any necessary arrangements or changes before 1:15 PM whenever possible.

BUSES WILL RUN AT THEIR NORMAL TIMES
Buses will NOT run at 1:45 PM. Students who remain on campus will continue to be supervised and actively engaged in educational and academic activities until regular dismissal. This time provides meaningful opportunities for continued learning, academic support, and student engagement.

Today will be our first day using the new horseshoe traffic flow, so we appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we work through the process together.

Please review the traffic graphic before arriving today, and help us keep dismissal safe, organized, and moving! ❤️🤍
