Parents Mother Nature is acting up again. She’s making sure that we keep all forms of clothing out of storage. Tomorrow will be a heavy jacket day!
Parents/students with show animals please take a look at the weather for thus week. It was a beautiful weekend but that isn’t going to last. Please make sure pigs have extra straw/shavings to bed down in. If you use a heat lamp please make sure it is secure. Lambs and goats MUST have blankets on. We do not want our animals using energy to keep warm and in the process burn what fat they have put on. Again, remember safety precautions with heat lambs... secure them well so we do not have any barn fires.
Do not forget the importance of water. Offer warm water if you can to keep them hydrated.
Playoff game will be Thursday at 7 pm in Brady, Tx versus Leakey.

ATTENTION – Due to unknown circumstances there will be NO Jonesboro Alumni Association meeting on September 28, 2019. The Jonesboro ISD has no involvement in preparing or sending the Jonesboro Alumni Association Newsletter and has not received any word as to why the alumni meeting has been canceled. The Jonesboro ISD is in full support of the Jonesboro Alumni Association and loves hosting the Jonesboro Alumni Association Meeting annually. The Jonesboro ISD has a confident expectation that this is a one year hiatus and next year, or even later this year, the Jonesboro Alumni Association will band together and once again utilize the Jonesboro ISD facilities for future Jonesboro Alumni Association meetings or other events.
Sincerely,
Matt Dossey
Superintendent, Jonesboro ISD
