The Jim Thorpe Area School District will be on a 2-hour delay today. Please take your time coming to school as there are reports of several areas of black ice at this time throughout the county.
With the timing of the possible heavy ice arriving in our higher elevations making an early dismissal not possible and our regular dismissal possibly hazardous, the Jim Thorpe Area School District will be moving to a flexible instruction day today. Please have your students check their learning platform for assignments by 8:30. To be marked present for the day, your child must complete all of the assigned work. Teacher office hours will be available for assistance. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
The Jim Thorpe Area School District will be closed and be operating on a Flexible Instruction Day on January 19th, 2024.
Please check your online learning platforms for assignments from teachers.
