November Gratitude

We are partnering with two organizations during the month of November.
- First, our PTO is partnering with the food back to sponsor a canned food drive and full Thanksgiving meals. Please see the attached flier below for more information.
- Second, our Student Leadership team is partnering with The Powhatan Christmas Mother for stocking stuffer needs.
As we enter the holiday season, please consider donating items to those in need and to support these worthy causes.

Powhatan Strong: Family Connection Series

Powhatan County Public Schools Student Services Department welcomes you to our monthly Virtual Coffee Chats titled Powhatan Strong Family Connection Series. Each month, Student Services will present a different topic with strategies to support your students from home, policies and procedures at the division and school levels, and opportunities to ask questions of our Student Services Department members and guest panelists.
Our next session will be held on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 10 AM. During this session, we will explore the topic of parent burnout and stress. With the holiday season upon us, we know this is a busy time of year and want to provide you the resources to help manage a potentially stressful but fulfilling time. We will host Heather Morgan from Goochland-Powhatan Community Services Board as our guest speaker. To log in, scan the QR Code link below or visit bit.ly/PowhatanStrong25-26. If you are unable to make it to the Coffee Chat, we encourage you to submit your questions via the Coffee Chat Google Form. We look forward to seeing you on the 20th!

Birthday Marquee

Celebrate your child’s birthday in style! You can create a memorable experience for your student with their name and a happy birthday message on our marquee. Even middle schoolers love this shout out!
The message will read: Happy (age) Birthday, (student’s first name)!!
Complete this form and submit payment through School Cash Online. Birthday Messages will go live 1 day prior to your student’s birthday and run until the following week (24/7).
