Doss High School

Today, Ms. Broughton’s Anatomy & Physiology students took their learning to the next level! Students explored anatomy through immersive VR technology brought to Doss by the University of Louisville Department of Physiology. A huge thank-you to Dr. Terson, Dr. Maldonado, and their crew for bringing the equipment and experience to our Dragons! We also want to give a special shoutout to our very own Mr. Downs for making this connection possible. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a strong and lasting partnership with UofL. We’re excited for the collaborative learning opportunities ahead!

Open House is this Thursday, August 27, from 5 to 7 pm. Doors open at 4:45pm. Here's how the night runs!

Student ambassadors will be posted throughout the building. If you get turned around, ask one. That is what they are there for.

Bring your student, or download the Infinite Campus Parent Portal app so you can see the schedule on your phone.

Need the elevator? Enter at exit 38 on the first floor.

See you there, Dragons.

Dear Dragon Families,

We’re excited to welcome you to Open House on Thursday, August 27 from 5-7pm!

As we begin a new school year, we want to build strong partnerships between our families and school so that we can work together to best support your student(s).

To help families get connected and stay informed, we’ve included links to three short instructional videos that walk you through accessing Infinite Campus, our online student information system where you can view grades, schedules, attendance, and more.

We look forward to seeing you at Open House and starting the year strong together!

💡 DID YOU KNOW | JCPS has adopted a Language Access Plan (LAP), available in multiple languages, to help ensure multilingual students, families, and employees can communicate effectively and access district services and information in their preferred language.

View the LAP: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG2bBklRnQ/3r-5oYH2VnEDGflVdbC5PQ/view?utm_content=DAG2bBklRnQ&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hfa48bdac12

Available in multiple languages: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FSP9gKb5lplKaJpYFC3WZrHpgf5puE6U/view?ts=6a724033

The LAP explains the language support services, resources, and communication assistance available throughout the district. It also describes how JCPS provides interpretation and translation services, approved language-access technology, employee training, and multilingual communication practices across schools and programs.

If employees prefer to communicate in a language other than English, they can contact their immediate supervisor for work-related communication within their department or the appropriate district department when seeking assistance from another district office, such as Human Resources.

Schools, programs, and departments may request language support services through the Language Services Office to facilitate communication with students, families, and employees who prefer to communicate in a language other than English.

To learn more about the LAP, information about language support services, and district language access resources, visit the JCPS Language Services webpage: https://jeffersoncpsky.sites.thrillshare.com/o/jcps/page/language-services
