🚨NTI DAY | Due to the additional snow and ice on roads and sidewalks throughout Jefferson County, JCPS will utilize a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday.

If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we navigate these winter conditions. Please stay warm and safe.

Shelby will begin admitting students at 11:05.

🚨DELAYED START | JCPS will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, February 2, 2026. There will be no JCPS Early Childhood classes. This decision will allow students to be waiting at bus stops and walking to school in the daylight.

If your child is a bus rider, their bus will pick them up two hours later than normal. We appreciate your patience as bus drivers prioritize safety. If your student is a bus rider or walker, please make sure to check their route and talk with them about safe places to stand and walk. If you are driving your student to school please allow extra time for transportation.

School start times when operating on a two-hour delay:

7:30 a.m. schools will start at 9:30 a.m.
8:40 a.m. schools will start at 10:40 a.m.
9:40 a.m. schools will start at 11:40 a.m.

All dismissal times remain normal.

After school athletic and extracurricular activities remain scheduled as planned.

If there are any changes to the YMCA Child Enrichment Program (CEP), families will be notified by CEP.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to welcoming students back to school!

❄ NTI DAY | Today, our teams spent the day evaluating road conditions and school campuses across the District. While many main roads remain in good shape, several side streets and neighborhood roadways are still icy.

These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
