Newcomer Academy -

Greetings families! Just a few short weeks left until the summer begins. We have enjoyed learning with your students this school year.

Next week, a national tradition continues as we celebrate our teachers during "Teacher Appreciation Week". A thank you note for teachers would be a great way for students to show them how much they appreciate them.

Thank you to our Arts and Humanities classes, lead by Mr Joel Giro, as they showcased student art throughout our school last week. Art displays were in the library and the gym, and we had a special school-wide assembly on Friday to hear our chorus sing, students perform "Romeo and Juliet", and many other talented performances!

Please note that school will be closed this Friday, May 2, as our community celebrates Derby week!

A Message from Jefferson County Public Schools

Ensuring safe, supportive, and affirming environments for our students is a top priority for us. These efforts are critical to helping all of our students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. At JCPS, every child is valued, and we are committed to their well-being and success.
