All students who have not already will need to turn in a new nurse consent form for the new school year to receive over-the-counter medication or treatment from the nurse. This form will need to be filled out completely, printed, and given to the nurse or emailed directly to the nurse at v.dstive1@jefferson.kyschools.us. For parents without access to a printer, I can provide a hard copy to their student.
I have attached the new consent below. Let me know if there is any other information that would be helpful.

SUBJECT: Upcoming Travel Opportunities (Ireland, Greece, and Italy)!
Hello Centurions!
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming trip to Ireland in Summer 2028, and your student is invited! This life-changing experience will help students build confidence, independence, and global perspective.
I went to Europe with 14 travelers back in July, and we had a great time! We got to see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Big Ben, The Louvre, and much more! I'm excited about taking students to Northern Ireland in Summer 2028!
Also, Ms. Parkerson is going to Greece and Italy during Spring Break 2027, and you can learn more about this trip during the meeting, too!
We will meet on September 17 at 6pm in the JCTMS Cafeteria. Both Ms. Parkerson and I will be there to tell about our trips!

The LAP explains the language support services, resources, and communication assistance available throughout the district. It also describes how JCPS provides interpretation and translation services, approved language-access technology, employee training, and multilingual communication practices across schools and programs.
If employees prefer to communicate in a language other than English, they can contact their immediate supervisor for work-related communication within their department or the appropriate district department when seeking assistance from another district office, such as Human Resources.
Schools, programs, and departments may request language support services through the Language Services Office to facilitate communication with students, families, and employees who prefer to communicate in a language other than English.
To learn more about the LAP, information about language support services, and district language access resources, visit the JCPS Language Services webpage: https://jeffersoncpsky.sites.thrillshare.com/o/jcps/page/language-services

Student attendance is crucial to academic success, and we are excited to encourage and celebrate excellent attendance throughout the school year!
Beginning Monday, August 10, 2026, we will launch our Perfect Attendance Monthly Incentive Program. At the end of each month, we will hold a prize drawing for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The prize wheel will be spun three times—once for each grade level.
Students with perfect attendance and no tardies during the month will be entered into the drawing. If their name is selected, they will be able to choose one of the following rewards:
Dress Down Pass
48 PBIS Points to use in the PBIS Store or for other PBIS activities
Gym Time
Patio Lunch
VIP Lunch Seating
One Free ID and Lanyard Replacement
We appreciate your continued partnership in supporting your student's success. Thank you for entrusting us with your child; we look forward to celebrating our students' commitment to being at school and on time every day!
Go Centurions!
