Dear JCPS families,

We appreciate your understanding as our schools and buildings are closed today while the city has implemented a necessary shelter-in-place due to last night’s tragic plane crash.

Today, our teams are checking the air and water quality at all of our schools and buildings. We are doing these checks out of an abundance of caution, as the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

If you and your family need food assistance today, please reach out to Dare to Care Food Bank:
Website: DaretoCare.org
Phone: (502) 966-3821

We know situations like what happened last night impact our students in different ways. Every JCPS school has a mental health team that is available to talk with students about how they are feeling. If your child would like support when we return to class, please reach out to their school.

As a reminder, we provide important updates via text, email, JCPS social media platforms, the JCPS app, our website, and local media.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff.

Learning has never been sweeter! 🍬 Our Allied Health students got truly hands-on with the integumentary system, creating edible skin models to learn about its complex layers.

They built everything from the epidermis down to the hypodermis, proving that anatomy lessons can be both educational and delicious! What a fun way to bring the science of the human body to life! 👏

Hands-on healthcare exploration! 🩺 Our Health Science students recently had an incredible experience on their college tour at Galen College of Nursing!

Students didn't just walk the campus—they stepped right into the action, engaging in hands-on simulations in Galen's state-of-the-art labs. They got a real feel for nursing, patient care, and the advanced skills required for their future careers.

Thank you to Galen College of Nursing for giving our Chargers this amazing, practical look at the post-secondary pathway in healthcare! 💙⚡️
