Good Afternoon,
Approximately 30 minutes ago, a bus transporting students from Ravenswood High School to the Roane-Jackson Technical School was forced to swerve into a roadside ditch to avoid oncoming traffic that had entered its lane.
Emergency personnel responded quickly and confirmed to Jackson County Schools that there were no reported injuries. As an added precaution, the nurse at Ravenswood High School will re-evaluate the students once they return to school.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Transportation Office at 304-373-1020 or Ravenswood High School at 304-273-9301.

Good evening,
In our ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and security of our schools, the Shield Coordinator—alongside local law enforcement—will be testing a weapons detection system at our secondary schools over the next few days.
As part of this testing, students may be asked to walk through the detection system before entering the building. Please note that this system is mobile and may also be utilized at various events across the county to further support and improve our existing safety practices.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
