The Winter Storm appears to be approaching our area tomorrow morning. With cold temperatures in place whatever falls will stick immediately, quickly causing hazardous road conditions.

👀 Check out the newly remodeled Greenhouse for DMJ Students‼️
The greenhouse has been down for some time, but over the last couple months it has been completely restored to new!
We are excited for DMJ students to be working in this new greenhouse! ✅
⚠️ DMJ Alert‼️
It appears the weather this week will be challenging. With winter weather expected on Tuesday and frigid temperatures to follow families need to be prepared for the possibility of extended school closure. Whatever falls on Tuesday and Wednesday can be expected to stick around for several days.
We will make an announcement concerning Tuesday, sometime Monday afternoon, once forecasters confirm the timing.
Please take all precautions to stay safe and warm this week! We plan to see everyone on Monday morning!
Hopefully this will be winter's last hoorah and spring will be following close behind so we can resume our regular schedule! ✅
🚨DMJ Family:🚨
2-Hour Delayed Start for Thursday, February 13.
With the heavy weight of ice on trees and gusty winds to go along with the potential for black ice in the morning we plan to start school at 9:45.
We will have to run highway routes only and encourage you to make arrangements with your student's bus driver if necessary. The location your student is picked up in the morning is where they will be dropped off in the afternoon.
It is important to get these school days in as much as possible but the safety of our students, staff, bus drivers, and parents traveling is even more important.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
🚨DMJ Family:
Out of an abundance of caution school will not be in session today, Wednesday, February 12.
We will announce a make-up day at a later time. Stay safe and warm today.
🚨 Two-Hour Delay Announcement – Wednesday, February 12, 2025 🚨
Due to the Winter Weather Advisory and the potential for additional ice accumulation, Deer-Mt. Judea School District will operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. We will continue to run highway routes only.
⚠️ Weather Conditions:
• Freezing rain is expected between 3 AM and 7 AM, with additional ice accumulation possible.
• Ice is already accumulating on trees, power lines, and bridges, increasing the risk of hazardous travel conditions.
Please use extreme caution when traveling.
We will make additional announcements at 7 AM regarding any further schedule changes.
Stay safe and warm! ❄️
🚨DMJ Parents!
School will start at 9:45 this morning. That is a two hour delay.
Buses will run on highways only. If your road has low hanging limbs and branches the bus will not travel on that road. You may make arrangements with your bus driver.
We apologize for any inconvenience but safety for all is the priority.
🚨 DMJ School Delay Announcement 🚨
Due to the freezing rain and potentially icy road conditions, Deer/Mt. Judea Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, February 11. The safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority.
Roads may be icy in places and there are many trees sagging into the road possibly making it difficult for buses to travel. We will assess the roads and down trees in the daylight and provide an update around 7 am.
Please use caution if you must be on the roads, and allow extra time for travel. We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates.
Stay safe and watch for ice! 🧊
🚨🚨DMJ: Students, Parents, and Staff,
We are checking the weather closely. Tonight into Tuesday morning and Tuesday night into Wednesday morning are the concerns with rain and temperatures near freezing. Please check back for possible school closure announcements!
The Deer/Mt Judea Art Club is having a Valentine's Day Sale! Make your order today. Orders can be delivered to both campuses.
🤧 To help keep our school community healthy, please remember: If your child is feeling sick, has a fever, or is showing symptoms of illness, they should stay home and rest. Keeping sick students home helps prevent the spread of germs and allows them to recover faster. 🤒
✅ Fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning
✅ No vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours
✅ Encourage handwashing & healthy habits
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students and staff safe!
