We are proud to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino, Latina, and Latinx Americans throughout our schools.
Follow along all month for stories and highlights from across JCPS!
Wednesday, September 9 is High Attendance Day across JCPS, and we want to see our Bears show what Klondike can do when we all show up!
To celebrate, our cafeteria staff are planning a special Glow Party Lunch. The cafeteria will feature a glow-party atmosphere with neon colors, decorations, music, and other fun activities. Students are also invited to join the fun by wearing neon colors or glow-in-the-dark items to school.
Participation in the Glow Day theme and activities is completely optional. Students are welcome to participate, but there is no expectation to purchase or bring anything special. Students who choose not to participate will enjoy their regular school day.
While the glow theme makes the day fun, the real celebration is having our students present, learning, and connected to their school community.
Help us pack Klondike on September 9 and compete for one of the highest attendance percentages in the district!
✨ Be Here. Belong. Achieve.
🐾 Every Student. Every Classroom. Every Day.

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.
