New Parent Alert System
Powhatan County Public Schools will be implementing a new Alert System, SchoolMessenger, as a means of communication with parents and staff. Initially, SchoolMessenger will complement our emergency preparedness procedures in the event of an emergency situation which causes the school(s) to close, you will be notified by phone, email, and/or text message. By mid-December, this system will be used to contact you when your child is absent from school and later in the school year the system will be used to notify parents of important school events.

Serving On An Advisory Committee
The Powhatan County School Board invites interested citizens to join one of its advisory committees for the upcoming 2012-2013 school year. Advisory Committees are voluntary and serve to offer suggestions to the School Board on a variety of topics. Generally, the committees meet several times year each. (more)
Keep Your Child's Health Information Up to Date
Please remember to keep your child's health information up to date. Contact the school nurse if your child has a medical condition warranting a Health Care Plan which may include, but is not limited to: Food Allergy, Insect Allergy, Asthma, Diabetes, or Seizure Disorder. The school would also need doctor's orders and parent consent for any prescription medication(s), parent consent for any over the counter medication(s), and any supplies needed for your child's care and parents must bring to school all medications. All forms needed may be obtained in the school clinic.
