Traffic Change: Remember that tomorrow, Thursday, Sept 23, cars coming into town will be turning at the entrance closest to the water tower. Cars coming from town will still be turning at the first entrance across from Seagraves Road. Exiting has not changed.
As anticipated, we are monitoring and adjusting the traffic patterns at Pocahontas Elementary. Starting September 23, 2021, this Thursday, we will be having a change in traffic entry points. Please read the attachments for directions on the new plan. The intention is to reduce the number of cars pulling into the entrance at Seagraves Rd. Thank you for your patience and attention to this change.
