Monday, February 2, will be a snow day for JCS.
Despite the amazing efforts of our custodial, maintenance, and transportation crews this past week & weekend, the efforts of hard working snow removal companies that assisted in clearing lots, and a WHOLE lot of hope - we are, unfortunately, not able to return to school today! Many roads and sidewalks are still covered in snow and ice. Today is a snow day and will be made up at the end of the school year.
We are hopeful that with slightly warmer temps and sunshine tomorrow, we may see improvement.
Coaches & sponsors will be in communication with students about events and activities.

Look what our EJMS students have built together! The Trusted Adult Wall in front of our school is now filled with names of the caring adults our students identified that they can count on — from parents and family members to teachers, coaches, and neighbors. This powerful visual shows just how important connection and trust are in their lives.
As parents and caregivers, you play a huge role in helping kids feel supported, seen, and safe. Take a moment today to ask your child: “Who are the trusted adults in your life?” It’s a great way to open the door for meaningful conversations and strengthen those vital connections.

We are beyond proud of our incredible students! This holiday season, the EJMS community, Stokley's Marine Owner, Ralph Stokely and employees came together to do something truly special. Through their overwhelming generosity, our students, community members, and Stokley 's Marine donated over $5,000 worth of toys to the children at UK HealthCare Kentucky Children’s Hospital. 🎁✨
These donations brought so many smiles and much-needed holiday cheer to brave children and their families during their stay at the hospital.
Thank you to all who donated. You didn’t just give a gift; you made a real difference.
