Dear JCSD Parents and Guardians,
We hope this message finds you well. In the interest of ensuring the safety of students and school personnel, we have made the decision to dismiss all schools in the Juniata County School District (JCSD) at 1:00 PM on Friday, September 8, 2023.
The reason for this early dismissal is due to concerns related to the bridge closure on Route 75 and the expected extensive traffic congestion through the traffic circle on William Penn Highway. We have been in close communication with the Juniata County Agricultural Society and other agencies regarding this matter, and both organizations agree that the potential for extended delays and safety risks necessitates this early dismissal.
We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we apologize for any disruption to your daily schedules. However, please know that the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we are taking these precautions to ensure their well-being during this traffic-related challenge.
We encourage you to plan accordingly for the early dismissal on Friday, September 8th. Bus schedules will be adjusted accordingly, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping to ensure a smooth dismissal process.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's school or the JCSD administration office. We will provide updates as needed, and we thank you for your understanding and support in prioritizing the safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Christie Holderman
Superintendent
