Midterm of the second nine weeks is tomorrow, Friday, November 14, 2025. Please check your student's grades in CANVAS and contact your student's teacher should you have any questions or concerns.

Today, after school, Affordable Pest Control will be at Ripley High to spray for bees / wasps and other winged stinging insects in and around the cafeteria.
The deadline to order your announcements, senior products, and cap & gown at the lower cost is December 1st. Any order not placed before December 1st will incur increased pricing, and the announcement will not be the foil leaf announcement on fine paper. Jostens will go to print in the middle of December, so make sure to have your order placed online at www.jostens.com or call the local Jostens office at 681-235-3138 to place your order over the phone. You can order anytime right up to graduation, but you will fall into the late order program and lose the in-school group pricing if you order after the deadline.

Good evening,
Tomorrow, Jackson County Schools will join districts across the state in celebrating West Virginia School Service Personnel Day. This annual observance, recognized by the Governor's proclamation, honors the essential contributions of all service personnel staff who work tirelessly to support students and maintain the day-to-day operations of schools.
West Virginia School Service Personnel Day is an opportunity to recognize the individuals who are instrumental to the success of our students and the smooth functioning of our schools. These dedicated professionals include bus drivers, cooks, custodians, maintenance workers, aides, secretaries, and more.
Our school service personnel are a critical component of our school system. They ensure our students have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment to learn in, and they provide the support that allows our teachers to focus on instruction. Their hard work and dedication often go unnoticed, but they're absolutely vital to everything we do.
Jackson County Schools encourages all students, parents, and community members to take a moment to thank these staff members for their unwavering commitment. Whether it's a simple thank you note, a kind word, or a gesture of appreciation, every effort helps show our gratitude for their critical role in our educational community.

Good evening. This is an important update regarding enhanced safety measures at our secondary schools.
Starting tomorrow, the Shield Coordinator, in conjunction with sheriff deputies, will be implementing a weapons detection system in our secondary schools. As part of this new security protocol, students may be asked to walk through the detection system before entering the school buildings.
This system is mobile and will also be deployed at various events throughout the county to further strengthen 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.
