Good afternoon, this is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. First, I would like to apologize for any concern that my decision this morning to have school has caused you. The decision was made from information gained through our school weather debriefing the evening before, and our early morning snow drivers reporting snow had not begun. However, I take full responsibility for this decision. Unfortunately, the system has moved north placing Jackson County in its path until 12:30 p.m. today. Instead of releasing students early, after careful review of all weather information, we will dismiss schools at the normal time allowing the Department of Highways time to treat roads before the evening commute. Please expect bus delays this evening. Our goal is to take all precautionary measures to ensure a safe trip home for all children and staff. If your child drives to school, please consider picking them up or having them ride a bus home. Also, our principals will stay at their schools until all students have been picked up and returned home safely. Once again, I apologize for this morning and the issues it has caused. Thank you.
We have received several calls regarding Kindergarten screenings for next year. Those will not take place until some time in April. If you have a child that will be 5 on or before June 30 & not already enrolled in public preschool (Kiddy Korner, Patch, or any school) please fill out this form to be called when we are ready to schedule. If you have any questions about Kindergarten enrollment, please call Marissa at the school. If you have questions about Preschool enrollment you must call Matt Howery’s office at the board office.

1-2-3-4 We Declare a Penny War!! For this fundraiser you can put your spare change toward a great cause.
How it works: Students can help their grade by dropping pennies and bills (positive points) into their grade’s container. They can also sabotage or declare WAR on the other grades by dropping silver coins (nickels, dimes, & quarters) (negative points) in the other grade’s containers to take away points. The War will start on January 27th and end on February 7th.
The grade that has the most points at the end of the fundraiser will receive a prize!! Money raised will go to support PTO sponsored activities for the students.
