DuBOIS Family,
In alignment with Kentucky state law (KRS 161.148), staff members are no longer permitted to communicate directly with students via personal calls, text messages, social media platforms, GroupMe, or similar apps.
All communication must go through parents or guardians using approved school channels. This policy applies to all school personnel, including the principal, coaches, teachers, social workers, and support staff.
We are committed to maintaining clear, professional, and safe boundaries in all student interactions. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sincerely, Dr. H-K
