Our goal in the coming days will be to ensure the safety of students and staff while remaining open, if possible, just as we did in 2011. We know that many parents need us to be in session and their students in school. In addition, we know that some students will not be able to attend due to flood waters and we will work with them on missed assignments.
Please contact our transportation department with specific questions regarding route coverages. Students who are unable to attend due to flooding or lack of bus coverage will be excused and we will assist them in their making up of any missed assignments.
PSD will be in session Tuesday, May 2nd. However, we will not run buses east of the Black River bridge due to its potential closing at some point tomorrow.
If you live in East Pocahontas and are affected by the current evacuation we ask that you contact your child's school, when possible, if we need to make alternative arrangements this afternoon regarding transportation of your child.
The district remains in close contact with local and state authorities regarding river levels and the potential for additional road closures. We do not plan to close early at this time but parents may pick their children up early if needed and they wish to do so.
The 4A State Track Meet scheduled for tomorrow at Pocahontas has been moved to Paragould due to the forecast of rising flood waters.
The Flower, Fish, Pine Tree and Turkey buses will definitely run modified routes tomorrow.
PSD will be in session tomorrow. Some buses will run modified routes due to flooding. Please contact our transportation dept. with specific questions.
