Julington Creek Elementary will hold classes Nov. 2 to make up for flood day

Julington Creek Elementary Principal Michael Story announced this week the school will hold classes on Friday, Nov. 2 while the rest of the St. Johns County School District gives students a break for a District Inservice day.

However, Story said he was told by the district that Nov. 2 will also be an early release day, meaning students will be released at 1 p.m.

"That means we'll have two early release days next week," Story said, referring to the school's usual early-release day of Wednesday.

Julington students have to go to class in order to make up the day they missed earlier this month due to heavy rains and flooding on Race Track Road, which made road conditions in front of the school unpassable for several hours.

Bus routes to and from Julington Creek Elementary should run normally on Nov. 2, as will its after-school program.
