Thank you to the entire Child Nutrition staff at Jefferson County Schools! Our cooks, cafeteria managers, and secretaries have continued to provide tasty, nutritious meals to students during unprecedented circumstances brought on by a global pandemic. Despite staffing shortages and supply chain issues, they served students more than 155,000 meals in October alone. They have not only continued to build good habits in our elementary school students with balanced meals for breakfast and lunch, but are also reducing food waste and helping middle and high school students make good choices by allowing them to make individual decisions on which menu items they choose, including the salad bar.
A reminder that Jefferson County Schools has returned to a regular schedule for Fridays. That means that today, Dec. 3, 2021, is a full day of school for all students. Thank you for supporting our staff!

Scheduling Night at Jefferson High School
JHS will present in our auditorium and cafeteria (as needed) to rising 9th grade student parents on Monday, December 13th from 6-8 for HFMS students who will attend JHS.
Dear HFMS Families,
This morning we dealt with an unfortunate threat to our school that stemmed from some social media activity yesterday evening. Since that time, our school administration has worked closely with the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department to thoroughly investigate this threat and bring it to a resolution. We have just received word that the individuals responsible for the threat have been detained by the Winchester City Police. At this time, there is no longer any threat to HFMS or any of our students. We have lifted the modified lockdown and will returning to a normal schedule as of this notice. If you have further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 304-535-6357 or email at evandell@k12.wv.us.
Eric R. Vandell
Principal, HFMS
Last night a social media threat was made against a HFMS student. Law enforcement was notified and investigated. A security check confirmed there is no current threat to the school. However, in an abundance of caution, we will have an increased law enforcement presence at the school. Thank you for your patience and support.
Please see the attached schedule for today.
