Due to the forecast for inclement weather, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students and staff on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, and all extracurricular activities have been canceled. The district will operate under Condition 4 of the inclement weather plan.
Condition 4 is the Remote Learning Day option. Please visit the JCPS website at www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions for full details. As a reminder: All assignments offered during remote learning days will be enhancement/enrichment type activities. No assignments will receive a grade, but will be reviewed.

As always, safety is our top priority as we follow the guidance of local safety and emergency officials. We will continue to monitor the conditions and provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Meadow School Athlete of the Week for February 3-7, 2025 is CJ Goodwin. Congratulations CJ!
Good evening Meadow Families. We hope everyone had a great weekend. We have finished mid-year assessments with students and are awaiting the results. This is a great time to emphasize finishing strong. Our students and faculty have worked extremely hard to this point and we can not let up. For our students and community to be successful, we must stay focused and continue striving for excellence. With this, it is important for our students to be present at school for the entire day. We ask that students stay until the end of the day unless there are doctor appointments or emergencies. Students leaving early are missing instruction, even if that is our remediation/enhancement time. In some cases, this is more valuable than the regular class time.
There are no events scheduled at school this week. So, looking ahead, Monday February 17 is a Holiday for students. We will also celebrate National FFA Week.
We look forward to another great week at school and I hope each of you has a wonderful evening.
Amanda Dunn McLamb, a 6th grade ELA teacher at Meadow School, was named as a Benson Area Chamber Teacher of the Month for January. Congratulations Mrs. McLamb!

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.
