JCS Students have great opportunities at James Rumsey Technical Institute, like their Simulated Workplace. This classroom is structured as if it were an actual technology lab in the real world. JCS students are mastering skills such like robotics in this awesome learning environment.

ATTENTION Jefferson County Schools Families.
Jefferson County Schools will begin sending attendance calls on Monday, Sept. 13, 2021. The calls will contain information about students who miss school and the date of their absence. The automated call is a notice for parents and guardians and an opportunity to connect with Jefferson County Schools staff as we work together to ensure students are on track and in class. If you receive a call on Monday that you feel was sent in error, please contact the Attendance Department at (304) 725-9741.
Thank you for your patience and support as we continue working toward the success and well-being of our children.
We will always remember 9-11-2001 so our students never forget.
We are incredibly proud of Heather Pindell, the Jefferson County School Service Person of the Year! Heather represented the JCS community well last night as a finalist for WV School Service Personnel of the Year! Thank you for all you do, Heather!
Just a reminder that all Jefferson County Schools will be closed in observance of Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 6. Enjoy your weekend!
Ranson Elementary School is experiencing issues with their phone lines. We are working with technicians from Frontier Communications to resolve the problem. In the meantime, families who need to contact the school can call (304) 582-5603. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Academy Day 2021 will be held Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021 from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM at Jefferson High School!
Academy Day is an opportunity for students, parents, and school officials to ask questions and obtain information regarding the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy as well as the ROTC scholarship process. No Registration Required.
Students who want to attend a prestigious U.S. Service Academy are generally more successful when they begin planning courses and extracurricular activities early in their academic career.
Thank you to the incredible men and women in our Transportation Department and Child Nutrition Department for keeping Jefferson County's children safe today! Your quick work ensured that students were safely fed and transported home before the worst of the storms this afternoon. The entire community is proud of your work and grateful for what you do!
Jefferson County Schools will dismiss students early today, Wednesday, September 1, due to severe weather being forecast for our area.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to meet elementary students at bus stops.
Pre-K students will dismiss with elementary students at 1:00 PM. All students will be fed lunch before they are dismissed.

Jefferson County Schools has been partnering with weather and emergency service professionals to track tropical storm Ida as it progresses. In an abundance of caution, JCS has alerted our inclement weather response team for condition checks and building preparation. Should the storm impact require us to change our regular school schedule we would alert you through our online channels, the JCSWV App, text messages, and phone calls. Thank you for your support as we work to keep students and staff safe.
