A decision on school closures and shelters will be made by the local emergency operations team later this afternoon. We will update you here with any news and information to assist the community. Thank you!

Dear Families, Attendance is especially important at school next week. Students at JAL will be taking assessments in reading and math called FAST progress monitoring. Students have been given a detailed letter to share with you.
Here are some helpful tips for when your child is sick.

James A. Long Elementary practiced a lockdown drill on August 18th at 9:32 a.m. Our school practices safety drills so that students and employees are ready to follow procedures in the event of a real emergency. The drill went well. Have a great weekend.

First, come to the cafeteria to pick up class assignments, bus routes, and new student registration packets. After going to the cafeteria, you will go to your child's new classroom. Here you will pick up car tags, white information cards and other important information.

This message is for all Putnam County School District staff and families:
Due to the increased speed of the incoming storm, local emergency operations and district officials have made the decision to dismiss students one hour early today, Wednesday, November 9th. Please prepare to pick your child up from school or be at the bus stop one hour early. Please know students who are in 3rd grade or lower will not be released at the bus stop without a parent or guardian present. Those students will be returned to their school for supervision until someone can pick them up. We recognize this may be burdensome for many families, and appreciate your cooperation as we are working to staff and open shelters for our community members.
Thank you and stay safe!
