JCS Families,
Jefferson County Schools will operate on a modified Non-Traditional Instruction Day (NTID) on Monday, March 16. All evening activities are canceled.
This decision was made after monitoring the weather throughout the weekend and consulting with the National Weather Service Charleston, WV, office this evening. Forecasted severe storms, including high winds up to 80 mph, heavy rain, and the potential for tornadoes, are creating too much uncertainty to plan for either an early or standard dismissal tomorrow afternoon. Keeping students at home helps us avoid putting them or our staff in harm's way.
What This Means for Your Student:
- Students will not report to school tomorrow and will complete their learning from home.
- K–5 students will find assignments and information posted in Rooms, as we did not send devices home for Canvas access.
- 6–12 students should follow the normal NTID process and connect with their teachers through their usual platforms.
- Teachers and staff will be available to support students from 9:15 am – 12:00 pm.
All LSIC meetings scheduled for tomorrow are cancelled and will be rescheduled. Math Field Day has been postponed to Wednesday, March 18.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we work to keep everyone safe.

Last week, first grade students in Mrs. Mills' class enjoyed a tea party as a reward for positive behavior. Students dressed in fancy outfits and enjoyed macarons, cucumber sandwiches and tea or lemonade. Way to go, Mrs. Mills' class!
Over the past two months, the librarian and STEAM teacher collaborated with students in grades 2–5 to create habitat dioramas. Students worked independently or with partners to research an animal and its habitat in the library. They then applied their research in STEAM class by designing and building detailed dioramas of their chosen habitats. Using a variety of materials available in the STEAM classroom, students selected the supplies that best represented their learning and creativity. The finished projects are now on display in the school.

Gobble Gobble! No turkeys here! Mrs. Mills' students helped these turkeys disguise themselves so they'd be safe. Great job helping them, first grade.
Mrs. Cruse’s class has been hard at work on their ELA research projects focused on the Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations. Students have shown tremendous effort, creativity, and dedication throughout this unit, and their final projects truly reflect their hard work. From detailed models to imaginative presentations, the quality of work has been outstanding. Here are just a few examples of the impressive projects turned in this week.
Gobble Gobble! These turkeys are ready for the ball! This week, Kindergarten students listened to a read-aloud of Turkey in Disguise and dressed their own turkeys for the November Ball. Check out these creative costumes!
Our Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Joy Ribot, brought global learning to life with an engaging cultural presentation titled “Pinoy Pride: A Peek at the Philippines.” Mrs. Ribot, who joined Ranson Elementary from the Philippines, shared her heritage with all kindergarten classes in a vibrant and interactive way.
Students explored the Philippines on a world map, learned about its three main island groups and even sang the country’s national anthem. They admired traditional attire, viewed colorful displays about festivals and customs, and sampled authentic Filipino food. The classroom was filled with eye-catching visuals, including currency, traditional clothing designs, and cultural artifacts.
This experience gave our students a meaningful opportunity to celebrate diversity and appreciate the rich traditions of another country. Thank you, Mrs. Ribot, for helping our young learners see the world beyond the classroom!
