🚌 Happy Love the Bus Month, Pocahontas County! 💛

February is nationally recognized as Love the Bus Month, a time to celebrate the yellow school bus and the incredible transportation professionals who keep our students safe every day. Here in Pocahontas County Schools, our drivers and transportation staff go above and beyond—navigating mountain roads, greeting students with a smile, and ensuring every child arrives ready to learn.

This month, we honor their commitment, care, and responsibility. Safe, reliable transportation is essential to student access, learning, and success, and we are grateful for the dedicated team behind every route.
Help us show appreciation—share a thank‑you message, photo, or shout‑out for your favorite bus driver below! 💛🚌

Attention families - students should have brought an envelope home today with a few important things. It included their report card, information to complete school climate survey conducted by WVDE and a permission form for PBIS trip if your child qualified. We also handed out the February calendar and school lunch menu. Wear your orange tomorrow to support Ms. Hill to stand for helpfulness! Thank you!
