Congratulations to our PUMAS of the week! Emmie Hopkins for Compassion and Erick Ramos Saurez for High Expectations. These students embodie our core values as PUMAS. Emmie is always looking out for those in need and for others who need help. She is always looking to shine her light on all who cross her path. Erick is compassionate and cares about his fellow classmates. Erick has high expectations for himself, and can always be counted on to be doing the right thing. He demonstrates inclusivity by working well with all of his peers. Erick works hard every day in class, and he is a wonderful role model to his peers. Erick is responsible, respectful, and very kind.

Due to an accident on Barber Mill Road - buses are running behind. Thanks for your understanding.
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.
