Thank you to the amazing JELV Admins, Counselors, and Instructional Coach who served up a delicious breakfast for students this morning—they also dished out a huge helping of love, laughter, and big smiles! Way to go, team, for showcasing Connected Citizenship at its finest! 💕🍳
Thanks to all the schools who graciously provided lunch to our transportation team today! This made our day!
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.

We appreciate you and couldn't have done it without you! ❤️

Our team has been out checking roads this afternoon and evening and unfortunately, we've found that the large majority of the county roads and turnaround locations that our buses travel are not currently safe for our buses to navigate. Due to these conditions, Monday, January 13, 2025 will be NTI Day #5 for Jessamine County Schools. JCS childcare will be open from 8-5:30 at NES for those students who are pre-registered for NTI care.
We know many families are anxiously awaiting news about school tomorrow, and we wanted to provide an update.
Access to bus turnarounds is crucial and a number of them in the county are still snow covered. With warmer temperatures, sunshine, and the continued efforts of road crews, we're hopeful that road conditions will improve throughout the day. Our team will be out this afternoon and evening checking roads to monitor progress.
We’ll share an update about Monday with our district family as soon as possible. We’re excited to welcome our students back on campus, and safety will remain our top priority in making this decision. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Our team has been out assessing road conditions and bus turnarounds, and based on current conditions, continued snowfall, and additional snow expected through Friday, Thursday, January 9, and Friday, January 10, will be NTI Days for JCS. The child care program at NES will be open Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM for pre-registered students. We will share an update on Friday’s child care availability once we have more information about the incoming weather. Athletic Directors and coaches will communicate any updates regarding practices or games. Please stay safe and warm!
We hope everyone is staying safe and warm as we navigate this week’s winter storm. Due to continued concerns with road conditions and low temperatures, Wednesday, January 8th, will be NTI Day 2 in Jessamine County. (NTI Day 1 was back in November.) For families experiencing power outages, students will have extra time to complete their NTI assignments. In addition, JCS Childcare will be open for students that are pre-registered and have a confirmed NTI spot from 8-5, and Athletic Directors will communicate with coaches and teams about athletic events. We appreciate the crews who are working tirelessly to restore power, clear roads, and keep our community safe. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and make a difference in helping us return to in-person instruction as soon as possible.
Due to road conditions, cold temperatures, and many households without power, Tuesday, January 7, 2025 will be a traditional Snow Day for JCS, with no NTI work. Athletic games & after school activities are cancelled and JCS child care will be closed. No further decisions have been made about the remainder of the week-please be ready for NTI if needed.

🎉✨ Happy New Year, JCS Family! ✨🎉
As we step into 2025, we’re excited to continue creating opportunities, building connections, and achieving success together. Here's to a year of growth, learning, and making a difference in the lives of our students and community.
