Jefferson County Schools will operate on a modified Non-Traditional Instruction Day (NTID) on Monday, March 16. All evening activities are canceled.
This decision was made after monitoring the weather throughout the weekend and consulting with the National Weather Service Charleston, WV, office this evening. Forecasted severe storms, including high winds up to 80 mph, heavy rain, and the potential for tornadoes, are creating too much uncertainty to plan for either an early or standard dismissal tomorrow afternoon. Keeping students at home helps us avoid putting them or our staff in harm's way.
What This Means for Your Student:
- Students will not report to school tomorrow and will complete their learning from home.
- K–5 students will find assignments and information posted in Rooms, as we did not send devices home for Canvas access.
- 6–12 students should follow the normal NTID process and connect with their teachers through their usual platforms.
- Teachers and staff will be available to support students from 9:15 am – 12:00 pm.
All LSIC meetings scheduled for tomorrow are cancelled and will be rescheduled. Math Field Day has been postponed to Wednesday, March 18.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we work to keep everyone safe.

Hi everyone! I’m the new Esports Coach at WHS, and I am incredibly excited to launch this program. Esports isn't just about gaming—it’s a way for our students to build teamwork, learn strategy, and compete for college scholarships!
To get our players off the sidelines and into the game, we are looking for community partners and individuals to help us build our "arena."
We are currently seeking donations of:
🎮 Consoles: Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switches
🖥️ Hardware: Gaming monitors (high refresh rate preferred)
⌨️ Gear: Mechanical keyboards, gaming mice, and headsets
💼 Sponsorships: Local businesses looking to support a new kind of varsity sport!
Whether you are a business or a person with extra gear, your support makes a huge difference for these kids.
Let’s show them what Jefferson County can do!

Students, please remember NOT to store your Chromebook in your car—even for a short time. Cars can heat up or get extremely cold very quickly, and those temperature changes can permanently damage your device, including the battery, screen, and internal components. A damaged Chromebook may stop working and could result in fees for repair or replacement, up to $450! Please bring your Chromebook inside with you each day and store it in a safe place. Thank you for taking care of your device!
