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.

#GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
Good morning!🌞 It's time to celebrate another Character Education Award recipient for January 2025!
Jasper Temixqueno-Richards, a fifth-grader at Micro Elementary School, is recognized for Compassion. He is a terrific young man, and he consistently demonstrates a love for helping others regardless of any situation presented to him, his peers, or adults. When one of his teachers is absent, he shows compassion by helping the substitutes in any way possible.
He is kind to everybody, always has a smile on his face, and can light up any room with the sweet conversations he starts up. Most impressive is that he will go out of his way and talk to others who may not have someone to talk to.
Keep leading the way!🌟
