Dear JCS Families: Jefferson County Schools puts the safety of students and staff first. With temperatures expected this week to reach the mid to upper 90’s, we are taking proactive steps to prevent heat-related illnesses. That means limiting outdoor activities at elementary, middle, and high schools when a heat advisory or warning is in place for Jefferson County. Limitations apply to any physical education classes, outdoor classrooms, field trips, and recess activities. For athletics, we will follow WVSSAC guidelines and consult with certified athletic trainers and medical doctors before making a final decision about practice or games. Current guidelines include safety measures such as practicing without pads, eliminating conditioning activities, moving indoors, or limiting practice time. We recognize the importance of providing appropriate practice time and games and will do what we can to ensure our student-athletes can prepare and compete safely. Schedule changes will be communicated as quickly as possible to limit potential disruption to students and families. We appreciate your support of our students.

9/5/23: Following a loss of water pressure earlier this morning, JUI (Jefferson Utilities Incorporated) issued a precautionary boil water advisory that impacts C.W. Shipley Elementary School. JUI officials assured us that the advisory is strictly precautionary, but in an abundance of caution, we will have bottled water available for students and staff for the duration of the advisory.
A reminder that Jefferson County Schools will be closed on Monday, September 4, in observance of Labor Day. We hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!
