Due to the hazardous conditions of several county roads and a cold weather advisory issued for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22, 2025 will be NTI Day 7 for Jessamine County Schools. Wind chills are expected to drop as low as -10 to -20 degrees and ensuring the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
JCS childcare at NES will be open for students who are pre-registered for NTI care. AD’s and principals will communicate about athletics and extracurricular activities.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding!
A sweet gesture to brighten our day! 🍩 A big shoutout to EJMS for treating our amazing Transportation Team to delicious donuts last week. Your thoughtful kindness keeps us fueled and ready to navigate the challenges that winter brings. Thank you for your support!
Our team has been hard at work assessing road conditions today and has identified several areas with ice, making these roads too hazardous for our buses to travel safely. With additional freezing likely to occur overnight and a cold weather advisory in effect for tomorrow morning, student safety remains our top priority. Traveling to alternate bus stops and waiting in the predicted temperatures could pose additional risks. We are taking every precaution to ensure the well-being of our students and staff.
As a result, Tuesday, January 21, 2025, will be NTI Day # 6 for Jessamine County Schools. Childcare at NES will be open for students who are pre-registered for NTI care. AD's will communicate about athletic practices and games.
Please stay safe and warm!
A heartfelt thank you to our JCS family for all your incredible efforts this week in overcoming the challenges brought by Winter Storm Blair. A special shoutout to our amazing Maintenance and Custodial crews for their hard work preparing for cold temps, clearing snow and ice, and making repairs, and to our Transportation team for going above and beyond to get students safely back to school. We appreciate you and couldn't have done it without you! ❤️
The man, the myth, the legend- Mr. John Daugherty was surprised last night with the Jessamine Chamber of Commerce award for Excellence in Education!
