We are quickly approaching the End of Year, so we wanted to provide tentative dates for our 8th Grade Week, starting May 15th. On the 15th we will have our annual Mental Health Fair. Afterwards, there will be an incentive for our students. More information on that event will be sent soon. This flyer has events, dates and cost. Students will be given a contract today that requires signatures from you both, verifying that you understand the consequences of misbehavior and noncompletion of work. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Davis or Mr. Peake.

JCPS UPDATE | Thank you for your patience and flexibility this week as we transitioned from Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) days to today’s delayed start. We want to remind you that all JCPS schools will return to a regular, in-person schedule on Friday, April 11, 2025.

Please note: Early Childhood programs will not be in session on Friday due to a previously scheduled Blue Day.

There are still some bus stops that remain inaccessible. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide pick-up or drop-off service at these locations on Friday. You can find the list of impacted stops here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRIl0tf3ZPkf60Kjvp3WYDh6z1zYNwIBuUlP7uPH1-Z6nqQFXCg8dlcFppAHjhWpSnznOchIOng-Rkx/pubhtml

Please check the impacted bus stops list again on Friday morning to see if there have been any changes.

If your student is unable to attend school due to flooding or road closures affecting bus stops or your route, their absence will be excused Friday, April 11, 2025—just be sure to notify your school.

As always, we encourage everyone to use caution and their best judgment when traveling to and from school.

We appreciate your continued support of our students and staff throughout JCPS.

FROM JCPS: Reminder: all JCPS schools operate on a regular, in-person schedule Friday, April 11, 2025. Early Childhood programs will not be in session on Friday due to a previously scheduled Blue Day. Please visit our website for information on bus stops that are not accessible:
