Emergency Text Messaging System Jones County Junior College strives to provide a safe learning environment for our students, employees, and visitors. As part of this effort, JONES is equipped with a textmessage and email emergency alert system. Students may enter two cell phone numbers and two email addresses. (Jones officially recommends that the student use a parent or spouse as the second phone number and e-mail address.) EMAIL LINK All enrolled students are entered into the alert system using telephone information provided on the Admissions Application. A link to the system will be e-mailed to the student at the beginning of each semester giving login instructions for updating information. The system will only be used for school closings, emergency situations, monthly tests, and important registration messages. We urge students to take advantage of this service.
