Weather Update – Sunday, February 1, 2026
While the winter weather system has moved out of our area, snow remains on roadways. With temperatures forecasted to drop into the single digits tonight, there is concern that remaining snow may refreeze and create hazardous travel conditions.
Out of an abundance of caution and due to the potential for refreeze on roads, Jasper County School District will operate on an eLearning schedule on Monday, February 2, 2026.
A decision regarding school operations for Tuesday, February 3, 2026, will be announced on Monday as conditions are further evaluated.
Thank you for your patience and continued cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Jasper County School District is closely monitoring another winter weather system forecasted to impact our region this weekend.

Jasper County School District Offers Thanks to Bluffton Self Help
We want to thank Bluffton Self Help for their generous donation of toys to Jasper County School District.
Their support will have a meaningful impact on our youngest learners as we accomplish our mission to finish strong this school year.
The toys will be used as incentives for students in kindergarten through third grade to encourage regular school attendance and to recognize academic growth and achievement. Initiatives like this help motivate our students and reinforce positive habits that support long-term success.
We truly appreciate Bluffton Self Help's partnership and commitment to supporting the children of Jasper County. Their generosity helps us motivate students to attend school, do their best, and celebrate their accomplishments.
With sincere gratitude,
Dr. Laura Hickson
Interim Superintendent
