Today, we remember and reflect.
Did you know Jefferson County Schools has a Parent and Education Resource Center? That's right, and our PERC is already working hard to organize activities to help connect our students across the district. If you are interested in learning more about PERC, are looking for resources to support a student, or simply want to come out and make new friends, be sure to visit www.jcswv.org/perc.
9/7/23: UPDATE 9/7/23: Firefighters concluded their investigation at Page Jackson Elementary School and determined that there is NO DANGER to students or staff. Students returned to the building safely. We appreciate the quick response of our first responders and ongoing trust of our families as we work to keep our school safe.
From a sea of blue to sunshine rays of yellow, color days continue here at PJES! Friday is green 💚
The heat isn't the only thing making us see red! Today was RED day in Kindergarten; so many students joined to help kinders's learn their colors. Wednesday is BLUE day!
Dear JCS Families: Jefferson County Schools puts the safety of students and staff first. With temperatures expected this week to reach the mid to upper 90’s, we are taking proactive steps to prevent heat-related illnesses. That means limiting outdoor activities at elementary, middle, and high schools when a heat advisory or warning is in place for Jefferson County. Limitations apply to any physical education classes, outdoor classrooms, field trips, and recess activities. For athletics, we will follow WVSSAC guidelines and consult with certified athletic trainers and medical doctors before making a final decision about practice or games. Current guidelines include safety measures such as practicing without pads, eliminating conditioning activities, moving indoors, or limiting practice time. We recognize the importance of providing appropriate practice time and games and will do what we can to ensure our student-athletes can prepare and compete safely. Schedule changes will be communicated as quickly as possible to limit potential disruption to students and families. We appreciate your support of our students.

It's another exciting day at PJES! Kindergartners are here! After uniting with their teachers, all Kinders jumped right in learning the ropes with a great breakfast. How about a round of a-PAWS for these little Pandas!
PJES - It was great to see our new and returning Pandas. We are excited to welcome all Kindergarten, First and Second Graders tomorrow. Just a couple of helpful hints/ reminders as we start our year. Car rider arrival time is 8:50- you will need to stay in your vehicle, go around the loop, and we will help your child out of the car. We will be welcoming parents in for lunch beginning Tuesday, September 5th. This will give our students time to learn the lunch procedures.
Students were greeted with excited and eager smiles this morning! Welcome back PJES!
