7th Grade Families!
🎒 We are just 8 days away from the first day of school, and we are so excited to welcome everyone back! 🎉
📱 Many of you may already know that student schedules are now available in Infinite Campus. If you are unable to access them online, schedules can also be picked up during Registration this Friday from 9:00–11:00 a.m. 🗓️
⚠️ At this time, schedule change requests will not be accepted until after the first day of school. Once school begins, a Schedule Change Request Form will be available in your student's Google Classroom 💻 and will also be shared during registration for those who need to submit a request.
💙 We can't wait to see all of our amazing 7th graders and begin another great school year together! Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer break, stay safe, and we'll see you soon! ☀️✨
Mrs. Darden
7th Grade School Counselor
Our goal this school year is to get a completed Educational Benefits Form (EBF) on file for every JCTMS student regardless of whether your child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. 📋✨
Completing the EBF is quick, confidential, and secures valuable funding for our school’s programs and resources! 📚🎓
🗓️ Deadline: Before registration on July 31, 2026
🔗 Complete it here: jcps.me/EBF
Questions? Reach out to Youth Service Coordinator Andrea Cook at 📞 502-901-2086 or 📧 andrea.cook@jefferson.kyschools.us.
Thank you for your partnership! 💙🤝
