📚 Professional Learning Day Spotlight!
Today, our staff participated in the I Love U Guys® School Safety training, led by the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security at Pocahontas County High School. This important session helped ensure that all of us are prepared, informed, and unified in our commitment to keeping students safe.
After the countywide training, teams returned to their individual schools to review and strengthen their own safety plans—working together to support a safe, secure learning environment for every student.
We’re grateful for our dedicated staff and partners who help make safety a top priority every day. ❤️🏫💛
Shoutout to First Citizens Bank for providing donuts for our staff to start the day off right! 😍
