Happy Teacher Appreciation Week.  To: Mrs. Lopez. Fern Creek High School  Dear Mrs. Lopez,   I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for me. When I look back on my high school experience, I don’t think about or talk about my grade in your class, but rather, I remember and talk about you. There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew. You are someone who listens without judging, someone who can make anyone feel safe and welcome.   Now, as I’m about to graduate high school, I can wholeheartedly say you were one of the most important people in my high school journey. You changed me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. You made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind to. I don't think I've said it enough and I will continue to say it, thank you Mrs. Lopez.  From Itzel R.  12th Grade Fern Creek High School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

KSA testing at Olmsted Academy South starts tomorrow. It is critical that all students follow the school’s state testing cell phone rules. To ensure a secure and distraction-free testing environment, students must leave their cell phones at home or store them in their lockers before testing begins.
Phones are not permitted in the classroom under any circumstances during KSA testing. If a phone is seen, heard, or discovered during testing, it will be confiscated and a parent or guardian will be required to come to the school to retrieve it. In addition, the student will receive a referral and be assigned to ISAP for the remainder of the day after testing.
We have made this announcement to students all week and will continue to make the announcement through testing. We strongly encourage you to speak with your student individually about this policy so they fully understand the expectations.
These expectations are in place due to the serious implications cell phone use can have on state testing integrity, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing this expectation with your child.

Dear Families,
Our Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing will begin on May 4, and we want all students prepared to perform at their best. This assessment is an important measure of student learning and helps guide future instruction. Your support at home plays a key role in helping students stay focused, confident, and ready throughout the testing window.

Please help your student by:

- Ensuring they get a full night of sleep before testing days
- Providing a healthy breakfast each morning
- Making sure they arrive at school on time each day
- Encouraging a positive attitude and consistent effort
- No personal technology is allowed — all cell phones must be left at home, secured in locked pouches, or stored in lockers; devices cannot be in the testing environment at any time per state law

Thank you for your continued support.
