THIS WEEK | Parents please go the scholastic site to shop online and set up an ewallet for in-school shopping.  Each class will have a day and a time to shop for some wonderful books.  

TUESDAY, MAY 5th - TUESDAY, MAY 12th | Mark your calendars! As we approach the annual Kentucky Summative Assessments (KSA), we want to remind you about the importance of your child's attendance and punctuality during testing. These assessments are a crucial part of your child's academic journey and provide valuable insight into their progress and areas of improvement. Thank you for your cooperation!

ALL FAMILIES MUST VERIFY TRANSPORTATION | As we continue planning for the new school year, we need to know how your child will get to and from school for the 2026-27 school year. The JCPS Transportation Verification (TV) form is now open. Every JCPS family must complete this form letting us know how your child will get to and from school - JCPS bus rider, car rider, walker, or YMCA Childcare Enrichment Program (CEP) student. Note: YMCA CEP registration will open in mid-May. 

The final day to request bus transportation for the first day of school is June 8, 2026. Eligible bus riders who fill out the Transportation Verification form by June 8, 2026, will be notified of their bus stop location in July via the JCPS Bus Teller. More information on Bus Teller will be provided to families this summer. The first day of school for 2026-27 is August 6, 2026.
