100 Days with Dr. Brian Yearwood.
What we've done so far...Seven community conversations, hearing from parents and community partners across the district.
Dozens of school visits, connecting with students, staff, and principals.
Raised more than $13,000 to fight hunger through Dare to Care.
Announced a 5% reduction in chronic absenteeism.
And so much more to come. Thank you, Dr. Yearwood.
Huge shoutout to our TEC Academy principal and teachers who spent their Saturday cutting, painting, decorating, and getting everything ready for a secret student celebration! Their dedication makes moments like this possible and we can’t wait for our Dragons to see what’s coming.

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.
