***UPDATE March 15 7:00 PM***
Weather Update: 3/15/26 - 7:00 PM
In light of most recently observed weather predictions, the Jones County School System will be closed tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2026. Safety remains our top priority - and our actions will reflect such. While the exact path of the storm remains uncertain, we believe that potentially hazardous conditions tomorrow warrant the decision for closure.
This is not a distance learning day. Given our focus on the needs of the whole child, we are encouraging families to continue discussions on long-term goal setting tied to post-graduation success. It is our shared goal to equip students to be employed, enlisted, or enrolled. What is your childโs preferred pathway? Additionally, create space and time for your children to simply read! This makes a difference. With a focus on high impact practice, we believe that our teachers are our greatest asset and will leverage time during face-to-face instruction upon our return to account for any instructional time lost on Monday.
No athletic or extracurricular activities/practices will occur on Monday, March 16th given the school closure.
For those with scheduled appointments in centralized enrollment, we will contact you to reschedule as quickly as possible.
As we continue to monitor the storm, all official updates, regarding any changes to our school schedule and operations beyond Monday, March 16th, will be shared with our families via Infinite Campus through our mass notification system, posted and timestamped to our website (www.jones.k12.ga.us), and shared via our district page.
