JCS Families,
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.

Good morning North Jefferson families. The work on our main foyer project will begin this afternoon, 2/24/2026 and continue until our flooring tile installed.
If you are dropping off your child(ren) after 8:50 or picking them up early you will need to buzz in at the main entrance to announce you are here, then go to Door 3 (Parent Drop Off/Pick Up area) to sign out and pick up your child.
Respectfully,
Joyce Ashworth
NJES Principal

North Jefferson families-
Did you know that students and families have 3 days after the student returns to school to submit an absence note to the school to have an absence excused? Please do not wait to submit your absence note, but if you do forget, you have three days to get it in! If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's ability to come to school consistently, please feel free to reach out to Addison Tucker at addison.tucker@k12.wv.us for resources, brainstorming, and more!

Good afternoon North Jefferson Elementary families. Each year we ask parents, students in grades 3-5, and staff to complete the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey (WVSLES). We use this information to improve our school environment and connections with families. Attached find information about this survey and the QR code and link to open the survey. This information will also be posted on our school website.
Information about the Grades 3-5 Student Survey will be sent home today and tomorrow. Parents can complete this form if they do not want their child to participate in the survey. We ask these opt out forms be returned to us by 2/17/2026.
Thank you for your support of North Jefferson Elementary School.
Respectfully,
Joyce Ashworth, NJES Principal
