Jackson High School and Pathways will be virtual Wednesday (3/24) and Thursday (3/25) off on Friday (3/26) for the already scheduled spring break. All students will return to in-person learning on Monday April 5, 2021. Individuals who had direct contact with the positive COVID-19 cases have been contacted and have been advised to quarantine for 10 days. JPS asks that all staff and students continue to monitor for symptoms and are encouraged to test/quarantine if they experience symptoms.
