Therefore, all Jefferson County Schools and offices will be CLOSED today. We want to thank our essential personnel as they continue working to ensure our schools will be ready to safely welcome students back on site.
A huge shout out to Mrs. Pamela Flanagan, who together with her students from last year Owen Bond and Brylin Carney, was instrumental with working with the National Park Service in developing a virtual unit plan with the Saratoga (NY) National Historical Park for grades 4-7!
Mrs. Flanagan is a 4th grade teacher at CWS and has hosted virtual lessons and field trips almost every month since the beginning of the 20-21 school year!

The C. W. Shipley Elementary fourth grade partnered with the Potomac Valley Audubon Society for their watershed program. Students completed five lessons via Zoom to learn about their connection to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The program ended with a field experience to test the water quality of Bull Skin Run. Since we were unable to travel to Cool Spring Preserve, the PVAS brought the macroinvertebrates and stream water to us! During the second semester, students will be making and carrying out an action plan based on their new understanding of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Happy Holidays to all our families! Just a quick reminder that dismissal is at 1:40 pm today (2 hour early dismissal) and students return on Monday, January 3, 2022! Have a wonderful break!
Thank you to the entire Child Nutrition staff at Jefferson County Schools! Our cooks, cafeteria managers, and secretaries have continued to provide tasty, nutritious meals to students during unprecedented circumstances brought on by a global pandemic. Despite staffing shortages and supply chain issues, they served students more than 155,000 meals in October alone. They have not only continued to build good habits in our elementary school students with balanced meals for breakfast and lunch, but are also reducing food waste and helping middle and high school students make good choices by allowing them to make individual decisions on which menu items they choose, including the salad bar.
A reminder that Jefferson County Schools has returned to a regular schedule for Fridays. That means that today, Dec. 3, 2021, is a full day of school for all students. Thank you for supporting our staff!
