We have received notice from law enforcement that IT IS NOW SAFE to send remaining students home. We are allowing our students who drive to head out in a few minutes and then will be sending students on buses. PARENTS - PLEASE PLAN TO MEET YOUR BUS ROUTE STUDENTS AT THE BUS STOP IN THE NEAREST TOWN.
We will have a 2 hour late start tomorrow, Friday, December 19, 2025 for all Pocahontas Area Schools.

Update: At this time, the roads out of Pocahontas have been closed again due to being unsafe. In our continued work with law enforcement, they advise that everyone stay put where they are at the current time. We will hold your students here at school until further notice. Parents, please take note, the weather conditions are not safe for travel.

PAC Parents: Please come and pick up your child/children from school if you live in the City Limits of Pocahontas. Thank you!! We are feeding students supper here at school and are still holding in place for the time being. You can be assured your students are supervised, safe, and secure here at school!!

CHANGE IN PLANS!! Our advice from law enforcement is to hold our students and not to run our buses. If parents would like to pick up their children they may do so at their own risk. Law enforcement does not feel comfortable with us sending our buses out at this time. We apologize for the sudden change and appreciate your patience with our efforts to keep students safe.

PAC will be dismissing students at approximately 4:45 PM. Bus routes will run as usual. Our goal is to get students home safely and we appreciate your patience with our drivers. We are so thankful to all of our partners during this weather challenge, we are truly PAC Strong!!

Hello PAC families, we wanted to give you an update on the situation with your students. We are staying at school until it is safe to dismiss. We don’t know how long that will be but we are keeping students safe in the buildings. If you want your student to leave sooner than that, you are free to come get them at your own risk. We are also not allowing HS or MS students to leave in their own vehicles at this time. We do not have a timeline on when things will change, but we will do our best to keep you updated and informed. Our students' safety is our top priority.

All roads in and out of Pocahontas are currently closed. We will hold all PAC students in place until further notice.
