The Jasper County School District has been in contact with local and state officials about the upcoming eclipse. The Jasper County School District will not be in session on April 8, 2024, due to concerns of high traffic throughout Newton and Jasper County during school dismissal times. The District will be sending home eclipse glasses for all students to observe the eclipse. This school day will be made up on May 20, 2024.
All schools in Jasper County, including St. Thomas, will be canceled on this day.
