Due to the hazardous road conditions caused by the recent winter weather event, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025, as well as all extracurricular activities. The district will operate under Condition 3 of the inclement weather plan.
For JCPS staff, this day will become an optional teacher workday. Schools and county offices will open at 10 AM.
As always, safety is our primary concern and after driving our roadways and receiving guidance from local safety officials and NCDOT, we have been advised that though the main roads within high-traffic areas may be clear, many secondary roads within the rural areas of the county are expected to still have hazardous conditions through Friday, making them unsafe for JCPS transportation use. In addition, many of our campuses have shaded walkways, parking lots, and areas that must continue to be assessed by our operational staff before students may safely return.
Extracurricular activities and community facility use will resume on Saturday morning, however, we still encourage site visitors to travel safely and be cautious while on campus, particularly in shaded areas.
Have a great weekend everyone and make the most of what is left of the snow!

Due to the hazardous conditions caused by the recent winter weather, all JCPS schools and office buildings will be closed for students and staff on Thursday, January 23, 2025, as well as all after-school activities and events.
JCPS will operate under Condition One of the Inclement Weather Plan. Please view the details of the plan by visiting the JCPS website at www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions.

Join us at the Carolina Hurricanes game on Sunday March 30th!

We are super excited to announce that for the next four weeks, our school is going to be participating in the 2025 READBowl- a Global Championship of Reading sponsored by the Read with Malcolm. During this time, students will be working as a team to clock as many minutes of reading as they possibly can. During school hours, they are encouraged to find time when they have completed assignments, at lunch, during dismissal, and even
recess! At home, they will be encouraged to read as much as, and in as many creative ways, possible. Students will submit a reading log of these minutes, weekly.
We can’t begin to express how awesome it is to watch students get so excited about reading. One super fun part of this experience is to capture and share photos of our kids reading in creative (sometimes wacky) ways. These photos are often shared by Share the Magic Foundation, Scholastic, and even NFL Super Bowl champion and author, Malcolm Mitchell himself!!

Mark your calendars for Thursday to have dinner at Chick-Fil-A in Garner at White Oak from 5-9 pm.
