I want to start by saying that all students and staff are safe.
Jefferson County Schools will operate on an NTID tomorrow, Friday, May 1. At the recommendation of law enforcement, our school buildings will be closed tomorrow, Friday, May 1. All evening activities and use of our facilities are also canceled.
This has been a difficult week that has caused a lot of shared stress and fear. We take the physical and mental well-being of our students and staff seriously. Please speak with your student about this week's events and reach out to your building admin team if you need additional resources to support your student. We will be sharing more mental health resources in the coming days.
JCS Communities: All JCS schools have been released from their SECURE or LOCKDOWN. WMS families will be picking their students up at Sam Micahels Park today. We ask that you follow your regular pickup practice, as not to overwhelm our schools or roads as law enforcement continue their work..

JCS Families,
Jefferson County Schools will operate on a modified Non-Traditional Instruction Day (NTID) on Monday, March 16. All evening activities are canceled.
This decision was made after monitoring the weather throughout the weekend and consulting with the National Weather Service Charleston, WV, office this evening. Forecasted severe storms, including high winds up to 80 mph, heavy rain, and the potential for tornadoes, are creating too much uncertainty to plan for either an early or standard dismissal tomorrow afternoon. Keeping students at home helps us avoid putting them or our staff in harm's way.
What This Means for Your Student:
- Students will not report to school tomorrow and will complete their learning from home. - K–5 students will find assignments and information posted in Rooms, as we did not send devices home for Canvas access. - 6–12 students should follow the normal NTID process and connect with their teachers through their usual platforms. - Teachers and staff will be available to support students from 9:15 am – 12:00 pm.
All LSIC meetings scheduled for tomorrow are cancelled and will be rescheduled. Math Field Day has been postponed to Wednesday, March 18.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we work to keep everyone safe.
