Due to some unexpected challenges in the installation of new phones across the Jamestown Public Schools, the district has learned that some outside calls are not properly connecting. If you wish to reach your child’s school and find that phone contact is unsuccessful, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher or principal via TalkingPoints. If you need immediate assistance, phone calls can also be made to the main desk of the district’s administration building at (716) 483-4346. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this transition.
