Jamestown  (JPS)  It was announced that Jamestown Public Schools will be closed on Veterans Day, Thurs Nov 11. and the District will not have school on Friday Nov 12.  With nearly 100 student-athletes earning opportunities for regional/state competition on Friday, this results in 16 total coaches and a large number of parents on staff who, understandably, want to support their children in these events.

When factoring in activities, other approved leaves, an already limited pool of substitute teachers, and a high volume of students planning to attend events to support their classmates, the district believes the best course of action is to cancel school on Friday November 12.
