We capped off our 12 Days Before Winter Break in grand style, with holiday fashions, reindeer games, gingerbread fun and joyful singing and playing. I hope that everyone has a safe and special holiday season with your loved ones, making more memories and sharing the magical moments with one another. A special thank you to our SJES staff that made the final week of 2024 such an amazing time for our students. You guys are awesome! Enjoy your break!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Ms. Mahoney
The halls of South Jefferson have been filled with the sights and sounds of creating gingerbread houses, ornaments, snowflakes, pajama day and holiday sock day!

Congratulations to fourth grader, Audrey Mawyer, who was nominated by her teacher for being so kind and helpful to everyone in class. Way to go, Audrey!
Our fourth graders traveled to Skyline Caverns for their first field trip of the year. What a cool adventure they had (and learned about the natural wonders of nature at the same time!). Thank you to our chaperones and for the fourth grade team for creating this experience for our students. 💜💛

Congratulations to Addison Kiser for her Positive Office Referral! Addison was nominated by her teacher, Mrs. Hipp, who shared that Addison is always working hard in class, following directions and being prepared to learn every day. What a great role model you are, Addison! 💛💜
South Jefferson celebrated with snuggly scarves and snowmen gear! ⛄️
Third grader, Judge Bowman, was nominated for a Positive Office Referral by his teacher. Judge, according to Mrs. Mangum, chooses to straighten up the classroom at the end of the day, putting away supplies and throwing away trash. This kindness and help always deserves to be recognized and celebrated! Well done, Judge! 💜💛
Congratulations to Jackie Jenkins, who received a Positive Office Referral from Mr. Atkins. Jackie helped him put glow in the dark tape on every scooter in the gym (for a fun activity for his students) and then he witnessed Jackie helping another student pick up the items that he dropped in the hallway. Two exceptional kindnesses in one day—-awesome, Jackie! 💛💜
Red and white “candy cane” day at SJES! ♥️🤍
Hard work, dedication and focus pays off for fourth grader, Caleb Benner. Caleb was nominated by his teacher, who shares that Caleb remembered that he had to complete a project that was started before our fall break. He worked through study halls to get everything completed, all on his own. Super proud of your work ethic, Caleb! A great example for us all! 💜💛

Today brings a Positive Office Referral for third grader, Deklin Brown! Deklin was nominated by his teacher for coming to school prepared and organized EVERY day, for putting his whole heart and mind into learning and for being kind. Sounds like an exceptional role model to me! Well done, Deklin!! 💜💛
❄️ We hear you, JCS families! Going forward, we’ll make weather-related robocalls until 9PM, giving you more time to plan for the following day. If a decision isn’t made the night before, all notifications will go out by 6AM the following morning. A quick reminder: safety is our top priority! When snow is in the forecast, we closely monitor weather and road conditions with local and state agencies to ensure safe travel. We aim to make all decisions the night before, but if needed, our team checks conditions early in the morning to determine if a delay or closure is needed. Read more about this process here 👉 https://www.jcswv.org/page/delays-and-closings. Thanks for your understanding as we prioritize safety for everyone! 🌨️🚍
JCS Families: All Jefferson County Schools (Pre-K-12) will operate on a 2-hour delay on Thursday, December 5, 2024, due to inclement weather.
