EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Due to a rise in the number of quarantine cases, JCPS will begin requiring face masks for all JCPS students and staff. This requirement will be effective for K-12 students.
Please ensure that your student comes to school with their mask beginning THURSDAY (Sept. 2). We have masks available for students who may come without them.
Thank you for your understanding as we keep all our students and staff safe!

On August 27th at 11 am, Jones County Public Schools Board of Education met to review mask requirements for Jones County Public Schools K-12 students. After reviewing the data for all schools and grade levels, the Board of Education approved requiring masks for all 6-12 grade students in Jones County Public Schools. There is also a very strong recommendation that all K-5 students wear masks. The Board and Dr. Thigpen will review the data and mask requirements each month.
This has been a wonderful first week of school. Thank you so much for all the support and smiles throughout the week.
Beginning on MONDAY (August 30) we ask that all visitors refrain from walking their children to class or visiting in the building throughout the day.
Due to the increase in COVID cases, we are going to begin limiting the number of visitors in the building. If your student arrives late or needs to check out early, we can handle this through the front office. This is strictly for safety purposes and appreciate your understanding!

On June 29th, the JCPS Board of Education voted to move the entirety of the 6th grade to Jones Senior High School. All elementary schools in the district will now be PreK through 5th grade.
The purpose of this move is to unify the grade spans within the district, provide a streamlined approach to our middle school academic program to better prepare our students for success in high school, and provide a better opportunity for 6th grade students to participate in middle school athletics.
Additional information will be forthcoming regarding this transition.
Two-Hour Delay tomorrow, June 21st, 2021.
Due to warnings from the National Weather Service, JCPS Summer School will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow for all students and all staff.
