Bullhorn graphic. Text that reads: Announcement. Dear PHS Families of Seniors, We have been monitoring Thursday night's weather forecast closely across many outlets to include information received from state agencies. Unfortunately, Mother Nature is not cooperating with us as we had hoped, and at this juncture, we are looking at a 60% chance of thunderstorms that evening. Our sources indicate that that percentage will likely increase in 24 to 48 hours. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to move Graduation indoors. We had to make this call now so families have time to determine who will attend graduation and so we have adequate time to make adjustments and clean and prepare our indoor spaces before Graduation Practice and Graduation. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support of this decision and please find additional details about Graduation Practice and Graduation in your email or by visiting www.powhatan.k12.va.us/o/powhatanhigh/page/2024-graduation. Sincerely, Christopher M. Sumner, Ph.D. Powhatan High School Principal

Ahead of the recent SOL tests, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Hopkins’ fourth graders at Flat Rock Elementary joined together to compete in a trivia game that doubled as an SOL review. Playing Sink or Swim, if the students got the answer correct, they could “sink” a member of the opposite team or “swim” one of their own classmates to bring them back into the game. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Mrs. Price’s third graders at Flat Rock Elementary prepared for Mother’s Day by making a personalized Mother’s Day Magazine for their moms.

Flat Rock Elementary has been showing the love to teachers and staff this week, including a scrumptious nacho bar courtesy of the Flat Rock PTO on Wednesday for Teacher Appreciation Week. We also got to see a lovely gesture from Mrs. George’s Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) preschool class when the students walked around and handed out flowers and special notes to thank staff members for their hard work. These wonderful moments join the efforts of families, community members, business partners, and administration to make our teachers and staff feel like the special people they are. Thank you for all you do. #wearepcps #teampowhatan #elevateeducatorsva #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher

Governor Glenn Youngkin has declared May 7, 2024, as National Fentanyl Awareness Day in Virginia. Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, poses a serious threat, especially to our youth. It's crucial to grasp its potency; just a tiny amount can be deadly. There are two types: medical-grade and illicit. While medical-grade is legally prescribed, illicit fentanyl, often mixed with other drugs, has led to a surge in teen overdoses. Education and action are vital! Parents, have open conversations with your kids, and be prepared with naloxone and fentanyl test strips. Remember, knowing the signs of overdose and understanding Virginia's Good Samaritan law can save lives. If you or someone you know needs help, call 988 for confidential support. Let's work together to combat this crisis. We will provide several useful links in the first comment.

The Powhatan County School Board workshop and meeting will be held at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at their regular location in the School Board Meeting Room at the Pocahontas Landmark Center, 4290 Anderson Highway. The School Board will honor a large number of staff, students, and their families during the Recognitions at the beginning of the meeting. In the case of a large crowd at the meeting, the school division requests that seating be prioritized for honorees, most of whom usually leave following the Recognitions. The School Board understands there may be a large number of people who wish to attend the meeting and speak during the Public Comment period. To ensure both goals are met, there will be a 10-minute recess between the Recognitions and the first Public Comment period to enable plenty of time for a smooth transition between the two agenda items and the movement of meeting attendees. The School Board room has a maximum capacity of 160 seated people. If the room reaches capacity, an overflow location has been arranged in the cafeteria of Pocahontas Elementary School, 4294 Anderson Highway, which has a 300-seat capacity. A video conference will be set up to allow people in the overflow space to view the entire meeting and speak during the designated public comment periods. The meeting will be live and archived on the school division’s YouTube channel.
