Enrollment for the Jessamine County School's After-School Program opened today! If you'd like to apply for a spot, please visit https://bit.ly/JCS-ASP2425. Families will be notified beginning the week of July 8th if their child has a spot in the program.
It is hard to believe that there are only three weeks remaining, and much focus has shifted to the 2024-2025 school year. During the placement process, which has recently been revised by SBDM, we like to include input from all stakeholders including parents and guardians. If you would like to complete the Parent/Guardians Input Form, you can do so at the link in this message. Your input can help with the placement process and also help new teachers have a better understanding of their incoming students. Please note, that per our Placement Policy, we do not accept parent/guardian requests for specific teachers. Next year is going to be amazing! Input forms will be accepted until May 3rd.
