ATTENTION – Due to unknown circumstances there will be NO Jonesboro Alumni Association meeting on September 28, 2019. The Jonesboro ISD has no involvement in preparing or sending the Jonesboro Alumni Association Newsletter and has not received any word as to why the alumni meeting has been canceled. The Jonesboro ISD is in full support of the Jonesboro Alumni Association and loves hosting the Jonesboro Alumni Association Meeting annually. The Jonesboro ISD has a confident expectation that this is a one year hiatus and next year, or even later this year, the Jonesboro Alumni Association will band together and once again utilize the Jonesboro ISD facilities for future Jonesboro Alumni Association meetings or other events.
Sincerely,
Matt Dossey
Superintendent, Jonesboro ISD

Due to the possibility of bacterial meningitis at another local school, Jonesboro ISD is required by the state to post information about the disease. Please note that there has NOT been an outbreak as first thought.
Our thoughts and prayers go to the Valley Mills student that is gravely I’ll because of a rare amoeba that she contracted.
