Good morning. Jackson County Schools will operate on a Non-Traditional Instructional Day on Friday, April 12, 2024. Students will not report to school but will need to complete their third non-traditional instruction day packet. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's school beginning at 10:00 a.m. You can also find more information regarding non-traditional instructional days on our website at http://tinyurl.com/yvs5m7lv . Transportation personnel and school-based personnel will report on a two-hour delay.

Jackson County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for Friday, April 12, 2024, due to high water in multiple areas throughout the county. We will continue to check roads over the next few hours and communicate another update around 7:30 a.m. Thank you

Good afternoon, Jackson County Schools will be dismissing two and one-half hours early due to severe weather entering our region beginning at 3:00 p.m. According to the National Weather briefing at 10:00 a.m. this morning - tornado warnings, large-size hail, and heavy winds have been predicted. All buses will arrive at their stops two and 1/2 hours early. I apologize for this inconvenience and your understanding of this matter. Please stay safe.

Good evening. On April 8, 2024, Jackson County will experience a Solar Eclipse with a magnitude of 94.7%. The height of the eclipse will be around 3:13 p.m., coinciding with dismissal times for many of our schools. Jackson County Schools has taken a proactive approach to this occurrence by purchasing special glasses for our students so they can experience this spectacular event, which will not occur again until 2044. Last week, guardians should have received a letter from our school system explaining the procedures we have in place for the eclipse as safety is always our top concern. If you did not receive the letter, please visit our website and click on “Solar Eclipse Information” on the left side of our webpage. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
