CANVAS UPDATE: 5/8/2026
Canvas was down the evening of Thursday, May 7, 2026, due to a reported data breach. Early reports indicate this impacts over 8,000+ public schools, colleges, and institutions across the country. JCS is an impacted organization.
Indications so far are that the information involved includes student/staff names, JCS/WVDE-issued student/staff ID numbers (not social security numbers), email addresses, and messages between users on the platform.
JCS has no evidence of a compromise to internal district systems. Our Technology Team is actively assessing impact and implementing precautionary safeguards.
We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as needed. For more information, visit the Instructure Incident Updates & FAQs: https://www.instructure.com/incident_update
Thank you,

Parent requests for the 26-27 school year will be accepted until April 30. While we will carefully consider requests by this date, please understand that placement requests are not guaranteed. Our goal is to create balanced classrooms that best support the academic and social needs of all students. Please send any request to Mrs. Brinson. tbrinson@k12.wv.us
Thank you!

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.
Dear Shipley Families,
We are excited to share that we have several school-wide events coming up at C.W. Shipley! These activities help bring our school community together and give students opportunities to participate in fun and meaningful experiences.
In the coming weeks, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of events including spirit days, special activities, and school-wide celebrations. These events help build school spirit, encourage student involvement, and create lasting memories for our students.
We will also be sharing opportunities for volunteers and donations for those who would like to help support these events. Thank you for your continued support in helping make these activities enjoyable for all of our students.
