Good evening Comets! Due to the conditions of our backroad routes, JCS will have to close for tomorrow Thursday, January 26th. I know the main roads are good to go but we have many students who live out of town or drive themselves. We would be unable to get these students and would be at risk of not hitting our 75% attendance required by the state.I have confidence that we will be ready to go by Friday. Have a good night!
Good evening Comet families! In anticipation of the incoming inclement weather, JCS will be closed tomorrow Wednesday, January 25th. My hope is that this earlier announcement will provide parents with some extra time to make arrangements if necessary. Have a good evening
The Williams Elementary Comet Cruisers running program is looking for individuals, organizations, and businesses to sponsor students to complete a couch to 5K program this spring. We will begin in mid March and run the 5K during Riverfest weekend. It is $80 to sponsor a runner to receive certificate, t-shirt, and a brand new pair of running shoes. If you sponsor 3 or more students, your company name will be on the back of our shirts! Please see the attached donation form or contact Rachel Mandrelle at rmandrelle@jonesvilleschools.org.
In honor of school board appreciation month, Jonesville Community Schools would like to thank our school board members for all they do for our staff and students. The position requires a lot of work behind the scenes and some long nights. Thank you for all you do! We look forward to what the future has in store!
Students in kindergarten recently learned about width and height by creating some adorable penguins.
After the artwork was finished, students measured their penguins and recorded the results. The finished products are now decorating our halls.
Great work, students!

CONGRATULATIONS to students who were nominated as a November Student of the Month!
(Yes, this is late... we were waiting for permission to post all pictures.)
These students were selected because they exhibit integrity. This quality is a trait that will carry them far in life and we are so very proud of them.

I want to thank all the people who have taken time to complete the facility assessment survey! We have had a pretty good response but we could use more. Here is the link to complete it: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DRH9JSC.
It's also on our jonesvilleschools.com webpage. You can also find the results of the facility assessment there too. Thank you and go Comets!!!
From Williams Elementary:
Our 1st grade students have been working hard preparing for the holiday season!
Even 4th graders can help their community!
During an ELA unit, students brainstormed ideas to assist their community. They chose the Hillsdale County Medical Care Facility. “Warm Their Souls (Soles).
We have a treasure trove of donations! Items like fuzzy socks, blankets, chapstick and lotion. Students also made Christmas cards and ornaments to donate to each resident.
Our generous 4th graders and their families know that it is so much more rewarding to give than to receive.
Comet Pride, community wide!
From Williams Elementary:
Mrs. Snyder's 3rd grade class participated in a STEM challenge from author Sandra Markle with the help from Mrs. Warner. The kids completed a mystery spot challenge to figure out what colors make up the color black. They used chromatography to create art! They were able to discover that black was made up of MANY other colors. Because of their hard work the students were entered into a competition and they WON!
Sandra Markle sent the class a gift in the mail to celebrate their success.
Jonesville Community Schools would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to the Jonesville Police Department for their work on the recent break-ins and vandalism at JCS. I know Director Etter and Sergeant Albright put in extra hours to help put a stop to it and it paid off. Thank you!!!
Comet community! A reminder to please go to jonesvilleschools.org and take a look at the facility assessment and then take the facility survey. You will find a tab for each on the webpage. The more responses we receive the more it helps the staff and students. I appreciate your input!

Jonesville's Mayor Gerry Arno came to talk with the 4th grade today. The 4th grade is learning about government in Social Studies. Mayor Arno discussed his position and responsibilities as our city's mayor.
Thank you so much, Mayor Arno!
From Williams Elementary School:
Today students in grades 4 & 5 were treated to live opera music during lunch!
Two students from Hillsdale College who are studying music presented a lunchtime performance, including songs from 3 different operas. The students were impressed by the number of languages that the singers could sing in, along with their vocal ranges.
Jonesville Community Schools would like to thank Ryan Scheetz from ABC Challenge for the $400 donation! Our kids competed in the challenge which is a one and a half mile obstacle course that includes climbing, crawling through mud, sliding, and problem solving. Williams Elementary had some of the most participants. Go Comets and thank you ABC Challenge!
From Williams Elementary:
Michigan Representative Andrew Fink talked with the 4th grade students today about government and his duties as a Representative.
Thank you Representative Fink for visiting our school!
