Coming from a family full of public school educators gave me confidence in the resources and systems in place to ensure that children don’t fall through the cracks. We know PCSD was the right choice because our autistic son has absolutely thrived in an environment that encourages him to rise to his potential and also meets him where he’s at.

Our love for this district not only comes from a line of passionate family educators and seeing their love and commitment for their students, but also the community and culture of belonging they have created... one where you become family with the faculty. We have received tremendous support from countless teachers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to give our child purpose and confidence.

As a lifetime resident of Pocatello, I find comfort having my children attend the same schools I went to as a child. I have experienced excellent communication from Wilcox, as well as multiple opportunities to be involved with my child's education.

Mrs. Collier always helps us and helps others, she is so much fun.

Bennett walks into my classroom at the beginning of the day with a happy attitude and a smile on his face and leaves with that same smile. At the beginning of the school year, we talked about the difference between growth and fixed mindset. Bennett is always good about thinking and acting with a growth mindset. I appreciate when he helps his classmates focus on their growth mindset. I feel like Bennett is a good example to me and his classmates of one who shows good character, attitude, kindness and encouragement.

Anastasia works hard to increase her learning and helps others when she can. She uses school signals to guide her classmates without talking. She is always willing to help in the classroom and is kind to those around her resulting in the building of good friendships. She has stepped out of her comfort zone to participate, leading others that are shy or new to our school to do the same. When classwork proves challenging, grit is applied before questions are asked. She is thoughtful with her actions and words. She is a huge asset to our class.

Bryson makes sure a younger schoolmate gets home safely every day; including in the random intense snowstorm. I was so pleased to hear of this unusual example of compassion and caring, and the example set by a 4th grade young man to a kindergarten little boy. Way to go Bryson! Thank you for all you do and keep helping others!

Mr. Barton is one of the funniest teachers I’ve ever had and made sure everyone had fun in his class. He taught me that school can be rewarding and impacted my life long skills by teaching me that hard work isn’t bad, but helps you grow and learn.
