The previous notification had the wrong link. Please use this link below to let us know if you need a device for your child on NTI days.

ZT Families, as cooler weather approaches we are preparing for NTI. As we know, this is more likely to occur during inclement weather. We need to know who needs a device sent home for NTI. Please fill out this very short survey so we can make sure that when JCPS has NTI, all students who need a device have one.

ZT Families,

It is time to prepare for our Thanksgiving Family Meal.

We are sending a flier home with all students today for you to reserve a meal. Please fill out the flier this weekend if you want to eat and return it to school on Monday. Even if you don't want to pay for a meal for yourself, you are still welcome to come and sit with your child while they eat.

All students will get a Thanksgiving meal. This RSVP is for adults only.

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.
