Today, our fifth graders learned all about the Innovation Academy which is another option for middle school within Johnston County Schools. Students from the Innovation Academy did a phenomenal job explaining all about the school, including their favorite projects, ways of learning and traditions. If you have a rising sixth grader, be sure to ask them to share what they learned.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Cash Cow Fundraiser. Thanks to your support, our students got to see their Principal and Assistant Principal dressed up like cows! What a "MOO-velous" way to end the day. I have a feeling that we will be reaching our goal of $3000 tomorrow!

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!

Good afternoon, Pirate Families! In January, we talk about setting SMART goals for ourselves and how to use a GROWTH MINDSET to overcome barriers on the way to achieving our goals. 3rd - 5th graders, as well as students in my small groups, have already begun to think of goals for themselves, and next week in Media, every student will have the opportunity to have the same conversations. I have attached resources to help you continue the conversations at home, including a newsletter from the Carolina Hunger Initiative (Our Food Pantry Partner) with a recipe for Tortilla Soup! Stay warm and we will see you soon!

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.
