School Closed for Students - Thursday, Aug 8th | Jeff Davis Elementary School

Jeff Davis County Schools will be closed for all students on Thursday, August 8th due to storm damage and flooding caused by Tropical Storm Debby. The most recent report indicates there are over 40 roads closed or impassable within the county as well as numerous other roads that are difficult or unsafe to travel on. The school system is also taking into consideration the city sewage system, which has been heavily impacted by the additional flood waters and could become overwhelmed with the return of students.
Staff will report in the morning at 8:00am for a work day. Any staff member experiencing any weather-related issue, we ask that you please reach out to your principal or central office director.
We are optimistic that students will be able to return to school on Friday, August 9th, however, we will continue to monitor conditions with our EMA, as well as city and county officials for guidance. If a change is made, we will notify the community via the school/district Facebook pages, district website, and the school messaging system.
