Powhatan Is for Kindness
Join us in celebrating kindness across our schools as Powhatan County comes together to build connections, show gratitude, and spread positivity throughout our community. We encourage all of our students and families to practice simple acts of kindness at home, in class, and in our neighborhood this week. Be sure to share your inspiring stories and photos on social media using #PowhatanIsForKindness as we work together to show that Powhatan is truly for kindness!
Home & School Connection: Bullying Awareness
Creating a safe, inclusive environment for our students is a shared commitment between families and school staff. If bullying occurs, our school district promptly investigates allegations and contacts parents within 24 hours of receiving a report. Working together ensures students receive the support and intervention they need.
How to Report: You can contact your child's teacher, counselor, or principal directly.
Silence Hurts: Secondary students and families can also submit reports online via the "Silence Hurts" link on the district website.
How School Staff Evaluate Reports: When a bullying report is investigated, school administrators look directly at the 3 components (intent, repetition, and power imbalance) to determine the appropriate disciplinary action and support plan.
Action Step: Keep school contact details handy and reach out whenever you have concerns—we are here to support your child.
Student Drop-off Safety Reminders
Please stay in your vehicle during drop off/pick up-if you need to buckle your child in please drive around and park
There is a stop sign at the bus loop exit! We had two bus drivers tell us they were almost hit as they exited.
ONLY drop off in the front of the building, not along the side
If you park in the front lot to drop off please walk your children across to the building
Transportation Information
Transportation schedules are now available through the My Ride K-12 app. Families are encouraged to review their child's bus information before the first day of school, including bus assignment, bus stop location, and scheduled pickup and drop-off times.
As we begin the school year, please keep in mind that bus schedules may experience minor adjustments as routes are finalized and drivers become familiar with their students and stops. We appreciate your patience during the first several days of school.
Please have your student at the bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled bus stop time. Being ready and waiting before the scheduled arrival time helps our buses remain on schedule and ensures students do not miss their bus.
