✅ STRATEGIC PLAN COMMUNITY FORUMS THIS WEEK | JCPS is developing a strategic plan—a blueprint as we shape our students’ futures together. It is vital that our strategic plan reflect the hopes and aspirations our community has for our young people. This week, we are hosting the final two of four community forums to engage staff, families, and community members. Please join us at a session near you!

🌟 Wednesday, Oct. 28 | 6 to 8 p.m. | Central High School
🌟 Thursday, Oct. 29 | 6 to 8 p.m. | W.E.B. DuBois Academy

📢 NEW HOTLINE LIVE | JCPS is making it easier than ever for families and staff to share confidential tips and resolve school concerns with our upgraded JCPS Reporting Hotline.

Whether you need to report a safety concern or address an issue that wasn't resolved through standard school channels, secure support is always available:

💻 Online: Visit jcps.ethicspoint.com or click the red ❗️ icon at the top of any JCPS webpage. Forms translate directly into our top non-English languages!
📞 Phone: Call 888-393-6780 to submit a tip over the phone with additional language support.

Your child's teacher and principal remain your main contact for daily school matters, but this hotline is here whenever you need direct, confidential support.

🚍 ALL ABOARD | Don't worry about driving or parking for the Showcase of Schools on Oct. 24! Hop on the Showcase Shuttle! We’re running free JCPS buses back and forth all day from select JCPS schools directly to the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center.

Park at one of the designated school pick up locations, ride with your neighbors, and let us handle the driving. More details, including bus schedules & locations: https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/article/3155640
