Good evening. Ripley Elementary School is scheduled to open for students on Monday, August 29. We are waxing the main lobby this weekend, one of the last outstanding items to complete. We have received confirmation from the West Virginia Dept. of Education, and West Virginia DEP that the air quality is good and all disturbed asbestos has been removed. Once again, thank you for your patience on this matter as we strive to ensure a safe learning environment for our students and employees.
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend.

Good evening. This is a reminder that Jackson County Schools continues to transition from paper forms to digital forms for opening day student packets. If you choose to complete a digital form this year, all information you provide will appear in next year’s forms. If you would like to complete a digital packet, please visit the Jackson County Board of Education website and click the “Parent Self Registration for School Forms Online”. https://app.droplet.io/form/jyEVeN
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

Good evening. This is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. Tomorrow brings much anticipation with the start of a new school year. I am so excited to see our students and employees back in our buildings as we work together to become the # 1 school district in West Virginia. We are so fortunate to have a fantastic community of parents and guardians that understand the importance of a first-class education and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure the success of our students and schools.
During the 2021-2022 school year, Jackson County Schools ranked 9th in WV in English Language Arts proficiency and 10th in Math proficiency. However, as I mentioned earlier, our goal is to be # 1. Leading the state will not come easy. It will take hard work, determination, and perseverance from not only our children but the entire community of stakeholders demanding high expectations and excellence in our schools. I believe in our educational system, our parents, our employees, and especially our communities. Anything is possible; we just have to be willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish our goal.
As always, I ask for your patience on the first day of school. There are many moving parts that we will continually perfect throughout the year. Once again, thank you for your support and encouragement as we start another exciting school year.
