Juniata County School District is aware of the rumor circulating on social media regarding an anonymous threat at schools. This unsubstantiated school threat is being circulated throughout Pennsylvania as well as other states across the nation. We want to reassure you that we are taking the steps necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. There have been no specific threats made to any schools within the Juniata County School District.

As you are likely aware, there will be a solar eclipse during the afternoon hours of April 8th. However, its timing coincides with our usual dismissal times, posing a potential safety risk as students may inadvertently view the eclipse without proper precautions while leaving school or riding the bus and Guidance from PDE recommends early dismissal as an option for this event. To ensure the safety of our students, we have decided to initiate an early dismissal and suspend all afterschool activities until 5:30pm. This measure guarantees that all students will be safely home before the eclipse begins. All students will be dismissed at 12:30pm.
For information on safely viewing the eclipse, please visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
This week is Spirit week at JHS to promote social inclusion through unified sports so in honor of our Bocce team, wear green on Monday and celebrate an extra day of St. Patrick's Day!
