Re: October School Calendar Revisions
Dear Jones County School Community,
We at the Jones County School District have as our number one goal to provide a safe and
orderly environment in every school for all students and staff. Recently, due to anticipated
severe weather the schools were closed on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. The following
plan has been Board approved to fulfill the state requirements for the make-up of this day:
1) Monday, October 12, 2020, will be a Professional Development Day for All Faculty
and Staff (minus 185-day personnel) and a Fall Break Holiday for students.
2) Tuesday, October 13, 2020, will be a Regular School Day for ALL Students and
Staff. Additionally, ALL students (Both A & B Groups) in Grades 7-12 will begin
reporting to school on October 13, 2020, every day continuing with the COVID
Schedule with start and end times of 8:30 am to 1:31 pm.
We appreciate the support and input from all in our community, and we look forward to
