Please don't forget to pick up your fundraiser items. The company requires a signature to ensure you received all your items so you will need to actually come into the building to collect your orders. There will be someone in the office until 4:00. If you need to make other arrangements to have your fundraiser picked up, please call the school ASAP. Some items require refrigeration so we need to make arrangements for items not picked up today.

Congratulations to Gilmore Elementary School for being selected as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. Gilmore ES was 1 of 356 schools throughout the United States to be chosen for this prestigious award. As stated on the NBRS website, "this prestigious award serves not only as a symbol of exemplary American schools, but also as an inspiration for schools across the nation. It affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students thrive". Once again, congratulations to the students, faculty, guardians, and community for being selected as a top school in the nation.
Jackson County Schools and Henry J Kaiser Elementary School are committed to the safety and education of all our students. Essential to this commitment is open communication with our families and school community about potential concerns when they arise. For this reason, I wanted to share some information regarding unsubstantiated or rumored threats circulating on a social media messaging platform. Please rest assured that we take all threats seriously. Upon notification of reported threats, we contact law enforcement immediately to investigate any threat and its validity. The reported messages are being investigated and appear to be similar to other threats or messages being spread throughout our region. Jackson County Schools has not been identified in a post to our knowledge, but many schools in our region have been named. We understand that situations like this can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all. Once again, we want to emphasize our unwavering commitment to the safety of our students and staff. We are grateful for the support and collaboration of our school communities and law enforcement agencies. Together, we will continue to work diligently to keep our schools safe and secure. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly at (304)273-2692. Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work together to keep our school community safe.
