Dear students, families, and staff -
We look forward to an exceptional school year for 2025-2026! Thank you for choosing Newcomer Academy. We hope you are having a relaxing summer vacation. The school year will begin for students on August 7, 2025. I want to share a few notes to keep you updated.
Our "Back to School" event will be August 4, from 12 pm to 4 pm. Please look for an invitation in the mail for more information. You will also find it, along with all other upcoming Newcomer events, on our events page
Parent calendars for the 2025-2026 school year are available on the JCPS school site. Choose which language works best for you!
Newcomer Academy will have several Fall Sports that will start practicing in late July. These include Volleball and Cross Country running, as well as High School Soccer! Learn more at our athletics site, linked here.
JCPS has approved a new cell phone policy. To learn more about it - click here. Beginning with the new school year, all JCPS students will not be able to use their cell phones during the school day.
Another new policy is about staff communication with students. Per Kentucky Senate Bill 181, all electronic communication directed to students must be routed through the parent or guardian, or via a student's JCPS email. Examples of direct communication no longer approved include direct text messages and/or the use of messaging apps.
Accelerate to Graduate (A2G) is a growing program at our school! The goal of our A2G program is to help students accelerate their coursework and literacy/language learning to help them to graduate faster. Eligible students are ages 17 to 21, are multilingual learners, and have been in the US for less than five years. Contact us to learn more!
Enjoy your summer!
