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!

The final day of school for Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) students will now be
Friday, May 23, 2025.

Under the Sea, Friday, April 25, 2025 - 6:00 to 9:30 PM
St. Matthews Community Center, 310 Ten Pin Lane
$25 per ticket
See Ms. Rapp for tickets, guest forms and questions.

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.
