‼️ 4 DAYS LEFT | Don’t wait! There are only 4 days left to apply for the 2026-27 school year. As a reminder, if your student is entering kindergarten or has never attended a JCPS school, you must register online first to get your access key. If you need assistance, call 502-485-6250.






Farnsley: Monday, Dec. 15, 2025 will be an NTI day for students and staff. Students should complete Day 3 of their NTI packets. Digital copies can be found on Farnsley.us, if needed. All athletic and extracurricular events are canceled and will be rescheduled.

Due to forecasted frigid temperatures in the early morning hours on Monday, December 15, 2025, we have made the decision to use a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day for students and staff. Temperatures are expected to warm throughout the day so all after school athletic and extracurricular activities will go on as scheduled.

ONE WEEK | Reminder! The Application Period for the 2026–27 school year closes in one week. Families with incoming kindergarten, 6th, or 9th-grade students who live in the Choice Zone will need to select between their close-to-home or their far-away school options before next Friday’s deadline.
