Jones High School Summer Activity Program begins Monday, June 1st. Please read program restrictions and requirements below. https://5il.co/gqkk

JHS students enrolled in AP Calculus for next school year. Please join Ms. Stanolis’ Google Classroom. She has a summer activity for you. Class code is qze3whb

Earlier today, the OSSAA board voted to conduct summertime activities in accordance with current Rules and Policies as listed in the Administrator’s Handbook. While many may feel this permits a return to immediate, full participation, Jones Public Schools will take a more measured approach. Over the last several days, Jones Public Schools has been in the process of developing a plan for the safe reintegration of our student-athletes and coaches into summertime activities. We will continue to develop that plan and provide it to our community in the coming days. This plan will ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local health and safety guidelines.

Thank you to town of Jones, Jones Kiwanis, Scott Colliver, and businesses of Jones for recognizing our Longhorn Class of 2020! #loveourtown #LonghornProud
