Dear Families,
With the significant drop in temperature today and tomorrow, we want to make you aware of the potential impact on road conditions and ensure the safety of our students and families. Temperatures are expected to fall well below freezing, with wind chills making it feel even colder. This could result in icy conditions on roads, sidewalks, and bus routes, particularly in the early morning hours. Please dress children in layers, including warm coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Allow extra time for travel, as delays are possible due to weather conditions. If your road is impassable, this situation does constitute a reasonable cause for absence from school.
We will continue to monitor weather updates and make any necessary adjustments to school operations, including delays or closures, if warranted. You will be promptly notified through our usual communication channels should any changes occur.
You may be wondering why we have not cancelled for today. We have driven on many of the back roads and determined that our state and township crews have cleared them thoroughly. We have also monitored both the actual temperature and real feel and it has not met the -10 degree threshold we usually use as a guide for closing. It is impossible to check every road in the county so if your road is impassable, your child would be excused for their absence from school.
An additional concern is the fact that students have not been in school since last Thursday. The schools are able to provide lunch and a warm place for those that may not have that in their home situation.
Your child's safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this cold weather period. Please stay safe and warm.
Christie Holderman

Good evening JCSD families. Just a quick reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow , Friday, September 20. Have a great weekend.
Good evening JCSD families,
The Pennsylvania State Police conducted a safety check for registration, seat belts, license, etc, at Juniata Elementary School this morning. There were many cars present with lights on at the entrance to the school. There was no emergency at JES this morning.
You may see emergency vehicles at any of our schools throughout the school year. Sometimes they are just visiting and conducting a walk-through. Other times they are there for an emergency situation. Please know that in the event of an emergency we will provide information to you as soon as we can but there are times that it is not appropriate to send information out to everyone. We will continue to work with our local law enforcement to ensure that our community is as safe as possible.
Sincerely,
Christie Holderman,
Superintendent
