What's even better than eating pie on Pi Day? Smashing it into your principal's face, of course! Ranson Elementary students lined up to give Principal Astorino a pie to the face following a week of learning activities and positive behavior that enabled each grade level to complete a pie chart piece by piece. Once all the charts were full, students gathered for a schoolwide assembly and took turns taking aim. Enjoy your pie, Mr Astorino! 🥧

JANUARY 31, 2024: We would like to provide an update on an external threat reported this morning. Working with our partners in law enforcement, Jefferson County Schools has learned that no credible threat existed to the communities of North Jefferson Elementary School, T.A. Lowery Elementary School, Wildwood Middle School, or Jefferson High School. Upon being detained, law enforcement determined that the suspect in question was training for the U.S. armed forces while wearing a weight belt and did not threaten any of our school communities.
