Here you see Mr. Ford, a site substitute at Flat Rock Elementary School, working with a student in Mrs. Schwartz’s kindergarten class.

The seasoned educational personnel and management firm has more than two decades of experience providing trained and qualified substitute staff to school districts. If you are interested in being a substitute, please visit the ESS website linked in the first comment.

🎉 On Friday, Powhatan Middle School welcomed 35 brand-new cafeteria tables with built-in stools! 🙌 Our old tables just couldn’t handle the busy middle school hustle and bustle, but these new ones are a game-changer. Not only will they help with crowd control, but they’ll also make cleanup a breeze and speed up setups for special events! 🍽️✨ It has been great to see our students enjoying their meals at these awesome tables this week! #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Looking back a few weeks, Ms. Beberdick kicked off the school year strong at Powhatan Middle School by having students in her English classes participate in relationship building activities that saw them using cups and string to stack cups while completing four separate challenges. Each challenge had different directions, so it was important for every person on the team to communicate effectively and strategize with one another to be successful and complete each challenge. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🌟 September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we want to highlight just how important it is for our students to be present in school every day. Regular attendance plays a huge role in academic success, social development, and building those lifelong skills. 🌟 When kids are here, they get to engage in enriching activities, build strong relationships with their peers and teachers, and make the most out of their learning experiences. 💪📖 Of course, we understand that sometimes illness or other issues come up, and that’s okay! 🤒💔 But for those days when students can be here, let's make the most of them! Attendance is a team effort, and we’re all in this together. Let’s keep encouraging our students to show up and shine! ✨#wearepcps #teampowhatan

🎵🎹 During a recent visit to Pocahontas Elementary, we got to listen to music teacher Ms. Nuckols jam with Ms. Aguilera’s second graders. The musical adventure had the kids grooving with rhythmic and melodic fragments on those cool barred instruments. They had a blast singing, clapping, and playing “Icka Backa” as they rotated around the circle. What a fun way to experience music and form! 🥁🎶

🏈 Powhatan High School has some really exciting things planned tonight at the varsity football game against Manchester. The student theme for the night is “USA,” and the school and community are celebrating “First Responders Night.” Old Powhatan Baptist Church, Red Lane Baptist Church, and the Powhatan Rotary Club have teamed up and mobilized their volunteers into action to support the evening with a pre-game tailgate that begins at 5:30 p.m. at the high school. All are invited. After the tailgate, the game begins at 7 p.m., and it should be a really good one. 🏈 Our team is the 7th rated team in the area after beating Mechanicsville 46-13. 🌟 First responders, veterans, and active military get free admission to the game. Donations are being accepted to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🎨👩‍🏫 At Powhatan Elementary, Mrs. Rose’s third graders started the school year with an awesome project called "What a Character Is!" 🌟 They used adjectives to describe themselves and then created self-portraits to match.
