Information about school closings, safety, transportation, child nutrition, and any other urgent matter that affects students will be shared through a text message.

Jefferson County Schools has a number of ways to share information with students and their families, but sometimes we need to connect quickly and directly. In those instances, any cell phone number connected to a student through one of our schools can receive text message alerts.

If you are uncertain about the status of a phone number, please contact the school where the student is registered.

Jefferson County Schools understands that you won't always be near a computer or have access to the internet, so when there is a change in school status or school schedule you can always call the JCS Hotline at 304-885-5105. Check the JCS Hotline for other important information throughout the year.

Canvas is a learning management system (LMS) that allows teachers to provide instructional support, class calendars, assignments, and resources for students in a safe online environment. For traditional face-to-face classes, Canvas is an integral part of sharing blended classroom instruction. Canvas is the best way to communicate directly with a student's teacher.
