A Big Thank You! Happy National School Nurses Week! Kristen Mattioli.

Her efforts have created a space where students feel safe and cared for, which is an undeniable talent of a great school nurse.” - Mary Texas, APRN, FNP

Happy National Speech-Language-Hearing Month! “Never assume a person who has difficulty communicating has nothing to say.” — Stacy Sekinger Being an SLP in JCPS has always been about meeting the needs of our littlest learners and their families. Everyday I get to play, laugh, and—sometimes—cry with them as we navigate what can be a very overwhelming introduction to the ECE world. Communication is a foundational right for all people. Helping toddlers access that right by developing a way to communicate with their loved ones is so very rewarding. I love my job! — Jenny Lockwood, Speech-Language Pathologist at Early Childhood Diagnostic Center

Graphic says: A Big Thank You. Happy National School Nurses Week! Katelyn Young, Okolona Elementary. “Katelyn works diligently to provide quality care to all students at Okolona Elementary. She goes above and beyond to build relationships with families, ensuring they have access to resources and feel comfortable contacting her with any questions or concerns. A recent example of her commitment is contacting families of students that failed vision screenings and making sure they were aware of Adarsh clinics. This resulted in 5 students getting access to much needed glasses that will play a huge role in their academic success. She has been a great resource to our zone and is always willing to answer any questions from fellow nurses.” - Mary Texas, APRN, FNP

Dear Layne Elementary 3rd-5th Grade Families,

As we prepare for the upcoming Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA), we want to ensure our 3rd–5th grade students are energized and comfortable after testing. To support them, we are kindly asking for snack donations that can be distributed to students after the testing sessions each day. Individually wrapped, single serve snacks that are peanut free such as granola bars, pretzels, crackers, or fruit snacks are a good idea. Your generosity helps set our students up for success, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school at 502-485-8290.

Thank you!
