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.
