Hi Families!
Do you need a little extra time after school before picking up your child? Still waiting for a spot in CEP? An after-school activity might be a great option!
We have several after-school activities available that run for 6–10 weeks and give students a chance to have fun, learn something new, and extend their day at Greathouse.
Worried about the cost? Don’t let that stop you from exploring an activity! Families can contact the individual program about possible scholarships or sliding-scale options, or reach out to Ms. Roper, our Family Resource Coordinator, for assistance.
After-school activities begin the last week of August, and space may be limited, so be sure to check out the available options and sign up soon!

Greathouse Families! Tonight is Panera Community Night (500 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy) supporting our Greathouse PTA! Take the night off from cooking, grab dinner at Panera, and help support our students and school at the same time. We hope to see lots of Lions there tonight!

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
If you haven't already, download the My Ride K-12 app and add your student to track bus locations in real time, check route schedules, and view substitute bus numbers.
