Tuesday, November 12th, the road between Primrose and SFA Elementary will be closed in the morning starting at 7 am. You will need to use Bluebonnet to SFA Road to get to drop your children off at the school that morning.


Wednesday, November 13th, weather permitting S F. Austin Road between Primrose and the School will be under road construction from 7 am – 6 pm, absolutely no thru traffic.
This road construction will affect morning drop off and pick up at the school; you will need to need to take Hwy 36 to Bluebonnet to SFA turning left into the circle drive off of SFA. When leaving the school, you will then need to travel down SFA in front of City Hall back to Hwy 36.
Please do not turn back down Bluebonnet Street. Using this route will help the flow of traffic and not cause a back up if parents are turning back on to Bluebonnet once they have picked up their children.

Evening update 5/12/19 @ 6:00 pm.... There has not been any change in the water level for the Brazos River or Jones Creek since observations from our update this morning. We will again have a low tide at 7:17 pm this evening that will continue to help water drain off. We will continue to keep you updated and do our best to serve our community as best we can. We hope all the Mother's in our beautiful community had a wonderful day! Have a blessed evening everyone!!!

Update 5/12/19 @ 8:00 am....Both the Brazos River and Jones Creek water levels have decreased slightly overnight at the areas near our municipality that we are monitoring. Things are looking better but we are still being very cautious due to the continued rainfall runoff from upstream. If you have any question you are encouraged to contact Marshal Tidwell at 979-292-6393. 

Update 5/11/19 @ 7:30 pm....Levels for the Brazos River remain the same. With the rainfall we had today Jones Creek has increased but only due to rainfall and runoff. We will have a low tide at 2 am which should help move water to drain and help keep the Brazos River moving. There is still a lot of water to drain from upstream and we will continue to monitor the situation and let you know what is going on. Have a great evening!

Good morning...5/11/19 @ 9 am....The update for this morning is we have observed a 3" drop in the Brazos River level and it has not come over into Jones Creek; HOWEVER, we cannot let our guard down. There is still rain anticipated for the region today and water upstream is still due to drain off. We will continue to monitor the River level for you and keep you updated. Please continue to monitor our Facebook page and our Website www.villageofjonescreektexas.com with the most up-to-date information. We hope everyone has a blessed day!

Update 5/10/19 @ 5 pm....There are no changes in the Brazos River at this time. We will continue to monitor and give updates throughout the weekend.
