As you know 5th, 8th and 12 grade students will present defenses of learning as part of their transition to the next grade.

This year, JCPS added milestone presentations for students in the other grade levels.

On March 26th, students will be presenting a mini defense to their peers during their club time! They have been working on their presentation since January.

You can help get them ready by having them present to you!

8th and 12th grade students will present their formal defenses in the last two weeks of April

You can order your food discount card via the internet, or all students will have a paper order form this week. The window is only for two weeks – March 10th through the 21st.

Donation Letter

Each year, our graduating class gets to take part in “Senior Week”. During their final week of school, students get to take part in various fun events in and outside of the building. Our goal this year is to have at least four events dedicated to our graduating students.

To achieve our goal, we rely on fundraisers and the support of generous donations throughout the school year. Our goal is to host as many of these fun events for our seniors as possible, but our funds are limited. The seniors have put in 12 years of hard work and dedication, and deserve this special week of recognition!

We have rescheduled the dental clinic for April 16th and April 30th.

If you would like for your student to be seen by Big Smiles at The Phoenix - https://www.myschooldentist.com/TQJCKY_schsrm  

Big Smiles is a dental program that provides on-site dental for ALL students who sign-up to participate. Dental care will include a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride, sealants and/or restorative care such as fillings if necessary. They accept Medicaid or private insurance, and offer low-cost self-pay rates and a grant option through their foundation to cover the cost (upon request).

Attendance Matters

Click Here

1.State Law - HB 611 is a new Kentucky law that requires the referral of students with 15 unexcused absences to the Jefferson County Attorney's Office (JCAO).  The goal of HB 611 is to reduce unexcused absences, promote consistent attendance, and ensure students receive the support they need to stay engaged in school. 

2. The minimum attendance percentage is 80% (unexcused absences only). If your student drops below this number prior to January 1st, your student will be put on probation and may be exited by the end of the year.

3. Attendance Cards were mail out last week from the Board of Education.

Middle & High School - Social Security Numbers (SSN)

This is critical for all students. 

• Did you know that thousands of students don't receive free scholarship monies, often because they are just missing their Social Security Number.

• Over 54% of JCPS students do not have a social security number listed in Infinite Campus. Without a linked SSN, students cannot earn KEES money.

All students are required to have a copy of their Social Security card as part of their official school records.

Please bring a copy of your child's Social Security card to The Phoenix or contact Calli Hagan for other methods. 502-485-7700.
