Vision Screenings: Student Health Services will conduct vision and hearing screenings for 7th grade students and/or any transferred students during their Health/PE class on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 29th and 30th. Please ensure your student wears or brings their glasses/contacts on their Health/PE day. You will be informed if further evaluation is necessary. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please fill out this opt out form. Thank you!

High School Activity Bus: Students attending sports conditioning at the high school may not ride the sports shuttle bus; this bus is reserved for students who are in their current athletic season. Families must provide transportation.

Student Pick Up Reminders: When visiting or picking up your child during the school day, please bring a photo ID, ring the doorbell to the right, identify yourself, and state the reason for visiting the building. In preparation for dismissal, all early dismissal must be before 2:00 p.m. unless extenuating circumstances. Please allow additional time for your child to be called down for dismissal, as we are unable to call students down in advance until a photo ID has been checked and verified. Student safety is our top priority and these protocols help keep our students safe - thank you for your support!

Fall Dances!

• Save the Date for our Fall Dances! We are well under way planning and our Student Leadership is graciously spearheading the dance! We will host two Fall Dances again, both on Friday, October 16th. Save the date for now and tickets will be on sale the week of October 5th.

  • The 6th grade Fall Dance will be from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.

  • 7th & 8th grade Fall Dance will be from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. 

  • Volunteer Options: We are in need of several volunteers, including set up, concessions, dance supervision, carnival games, and clean up. We are also going to do a "cake walk" in the courtyard and are in need of donations. Visit our Powhatan Middle Fall Dance Volunteer Sign Up Genius if you are able to help! Any help is good help!

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.
