Presenters should arrive 10 minutes early to show their ID and sign in at the office. If you did not complete volunteer training earlier this year, please contact Ms. Hazy for approval. If you are interested in presenting, please complete the Google Form.

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.

Some of you may have seen the emergency vehicles here at school. We had to have a student transported who was experiencing a medical issue. Thank you and have a good day.
Due to the weather, we are dismissing 1 hour early. Parents with student in grades K-3 must meet your student at the bus stop. Thank you.
