Parents and guardians will be immediately notified once we hear a restoration time from AEP. We will begin dismissal procedures if electricity cannot be restored in a reasonable amount of time. Please be patient as we wait for AEP to contact us. Thank you.

Good afternoon. This is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. On Tuesday, December 19, (and possibly Wednesday) our internet service provider WVNET will be completing network maintenance on their server systems. It is very likely all governmental agencies and schools in West Virginia will not have internet access. However, all school phone systems should work if you need to contact the school. School personnel are aware of the internet outage and have adjusted their plans accordingly. Tuesday will be our last full day of school before Christmas break, while on Wednesday, December 20, students will be dismissed 3 hours early. Please have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Ripley High School will be open on Monday, September 18, 2023. Water was restored to the building yesterday, while custodians and other support staff finished cleaning the first floor of the main building this morning. I would like to take a second to thank all the community agencies, the Jackson County Schools Maintenance Department, and other school personnel for their help over the last three days. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Parents and Guardians, Unfortunately, Ripley High School has a severe waterline break on the first floor of the main building. All Water is currently shut off to the school. At this time, we have no other option but to dismiss students for the remainder of the day. If your child is a walker or driver, they will be dismissed within the next fifteen minutes. If your child rides a bus, the buses should arrive at Ripley High School around 12:30 to take students home. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you.
