Every week, teachers look for students who demonstrate the principles of SHINE. These students are recognized at a school-wide morning meeting. This week, Mr. Hicks and Mrs. Starcher challenged these students to 4-square!

Ripley Elementary recently recognized Students of the Month who demonstrated trustworthiness. Trustworthiness is being a person others can depend on because they are honest, reliable, and act with integrity. It means telling the truth, keeping promises, and doing the right thing, even when it is difficult or no one is watching.

Good morning,
After receiving updates from our drivers regarding morning road conditions, Jackson County Schools will continue to operate on a two-hour delay for Tuesday, December 9. Ninety-five percent of our bus routes are not affected.
However, if a bus cannot run your child's route, and you believe road conditions are still unsafe to meet the bus at a designated area, please send a note with your child to school the next day.
Also, please continue to monitor the Zonar App for bus updates.
Thank you, and have a great day.
