At this meeting we will elect officers for the year and discuss many different things! We would love for you to come and give us your input about our school.

Good evening. I hope everyone had a great opening day of school. This year, Jackson County Schools has attempted to reduce the amount of required forms sent home for parents to complete on opening day. The digital forms we used last year are no longer available due to the company not meeting our school system’s standards. However, there are 3 forms for elementary students and 4 forms for middle/high school students that must be returned to your child's school as soon as possible. The elementary forms include the Acceptable Use Policy, Emergency Card, and Student Code of Conduct. Middle/High School forms include the 3 previously mentioned forms and the MacBook/iPad agreement. Extra forms and basic information that each family should review are located on the JCBOE website under the tab “start of school info.” If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school. Have a wonderful evening.
CES Families: We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but please DISREGARD the previous message about the Cow Run and Lone Oak Rd closures. We just got word from the Department of Highways that the work has been completed. Bus 02 WILL be able to run the morning and evening routes. This means the bus can bring your child home from school tomorrow and Thursday.
CES Families: Tomorrow for lunch we are having chicken sandwiches, sweet potatoes, broccoli, fruit, and milk.
CES Families: We were notified by the Department of Highways that there will be a a slight "hiccup" in the afternoon bus delivery for students living on Cow Run Rd and Lone Oak Rd ONLY. The road will be closed from 8am-5pm on Wednesday (8/21) and Thursday (8/22). Bus 02 will be able to pick up your child in the morning, but will not be able run the afternoon route. You will need to make different pick-up arrangements. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
Good evening. This is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. Tomorrow brings much anticipation with the start of a new school year. I am so excited to see our students and employees back in our buildings as we continue to work together to make Jackson County Schools the best school district in our state. Once again, Jackson County Schools continues to move up in the state rankings. According to the website School Digger, which rates WV school districts, Jackson County Schools has moved up and is now ranked third in the school district listing for our state. This would not be possible without the unwavering support of our great families and employees in Jackson County. As we continue to climb in academic rankings, change is not only necessary, it is inevitable. We will continue to make necessary changes, whether it is schedule adjustments, student acceleration, student remediation, or offering unique opportunities for students to grow. Leading the state will not come easy. It will take hard work, determination, and perseverance from our children, as well as for the entire community to demand high expectations and excellence in our schools. I believe in the power of public education as well as our parents, our employees, and especially our communities. Anything is possible; we must be willing to outwork all others to accomplish our goals. As always, I ask for your patience on the first day of school. There are many moving parts that we will continually perfect throughout the year. Once again, thank you for your support and encouragement as we start another exciting school year. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
CES Families: We will be giving away backpacks at Open House on Monday. Please take advantage of this opportunity. They are super nice!
CES Families: Open House is scheduled for Monday, August 19th from 5-7pm. We are excited to see all of you!
