Welcome back to a new school year! On site school instruction is back! After an unprecedented year of virtual school instruction and quarantines, the best way to learn is now back! Students will participate in classroom instruction with their teacher this year. All mask mandates have been lifted so we look forward to a year of high school sports, band and normal school. This calendar serves as the link between you and your dear little ones to let you know when exams will be, when report cards come out and when the school will be on holidays. And beyond this calendar many things are happening week-to-week in the school that you will want to be informed of and know about. The Pontotoc Progress serves as a vital link between you and the information you need from school menus to who won the last ball game and how is the band doing. We also let you know who made the honor roll and a host of other things you will want to cut out and put on the refrigerator. So get your subscription to the newspaper and your scissors out. Your child’s school days history starts in the pages of the Pontotoc Progress. * At the time of publication, some dates for Pontotoc County School District were not determindeed.
