Game information for Tuesday's high school basketball games at Rossville
Good afternoon, this is Denise Jennings with your local weather update here in JCN country: Yes, there is sleet and slush on the roads but the forecast for drop in temperatures is not until later this afternoon. So, we are staying the course. We will be in school the rest of the afternoon. I have been on the roads the past hour and they are actually getting better instead of worse with salt treatment taking place on highways. I am cancelling all after school activities. Our buses and students will pull out of the parking lots promptly at 3:20. That will be a 5-10 minute lead time from normal.
Again, we are staying in school (sorry students!). We will have all students leaving the parking lot at 3:20. All evening activities are cancelled.
Have a good evening and be safe.
For those of you watching the news for school closings, give up. Wake the kiddos! We are going to school today. Roads, parking lots, windshields are just wet. Temperatures are supposed to remain above 32 degrees. I will continue to monitor snow accumulation and roads today. Be safe.
In chemistry, the students created supersaturated solutions of Sodium acetate trihydrate the other day. After letting the solutions cool down overnight, they performed a few different “treatments”; either pouring the solution onto a plate, dropping a seed crystal into the flask, or even writing with the solution. The results were pretty dramatic….and pretty neat!

Good morning, JCN. Needless to say, I ‘m NOT a weatherman. I’ve been on roads on our northern in for the last hour. Roads and parking areas are beginning to turn white. With the significant winds, I am concerned regarding visibility with buses this morning and throughout the day. That all being said, I am cancelling school today. School and activities are cancelled for today, Friday, January 15. Please remember Monday is a holiday so we will see students back on Tuesday. Have a wonderful weekend.

I want to welcome you all back to second semester.
We returned with three positive cases from the holidays. All were connected and at the EMS. We have a small number of students home awaiting test results and/or on quarantine. None of these situations have had any exposure at school since students have been home so we are hoping our positivity rate stays low. Remember, you can see our positivity rate under "current covid info" on our website or app. Numbers are updated daily.
Keep up the good work of watching for symptoms and being proactive in keeping students home. We appreciate your work in helping keep schools open for business.
I hope your 2021 has started out well.
