Dear Families, As we prepare to close out a successful school year, we wanted to share a few important end-of-year reminders and procedures for students. Locker clean-out will take place tomorrow (Friday) according to the following schedule: Middle School * 6th/7th Grade: 7:45 AM – 8:45 AM * 8th Grade: 8:50 AM – 9:45 AM High School * All High School Students: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM Please encourage your scholar to remove all personal belongings from their locker tomorrow, as lockers should be completely cleared out before Monday. Additionally, tomorrow will be the final day students are permitted to bring backpacks to school for the remainder of the school year. To help celebrate a strong finish to the year, students will also be permitted to wear school spirit wear throughout next week. 🧡💙 Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we finish the school year strong! One Pride. One Brotherhood.

A Big Thank You. Happy National School Nurse Day!
❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.

"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week. To: Mrs. Lopez. Fern Creek High School Dear Mrs. Lopez, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for me. When I look back on my high school experience, I don’t think about or talk about my grade in your class, but rather, I remember and talk about you. There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew. You are someone who listens without judging, someone who can make anyone feel safe and welcome. Now, as I’m about to graduate high school, I can wholeheartedly say you were one of the most important people in my high school journey. You changed me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. You made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind to. I don't think I've said it enough and I will continue to say it, thank you Mrs. Lopez. From Itzel R. 12th Grade Fern Creek High School
Good afternoon, Save these important dates. See you soon!
