Jones Public Schools will cancel school for Friday, February 4 due to inclement weather. Basketball game at St. Mary's has been moved to Saturday at 1:00 varsity girls and varsity boys at 2:30.

JHS Seniors: Since there is no school today due to snow and the weather outside is one of those days where you can't get out and do much, it would be a good time to sit down and work on those scholarship applications and get them submitted.
