Today we celebrate our JCPS school nurses—compassionate, skilled, and absolutely essential. Thank you for taking care of our kids!
8th Graders, it is that time of year. Please take a moment to look at the attached 8th Grade Promotion flyer.
"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."
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.
ACTION REQUIRED | We need to know how your child will get to and from school for the 2026-27 school year. The JCPS Transportation Verification (TV) form is now open. Every JCPS family must complete this form to let us know how your child will get to and from school.
The final day to request bus transportation for the first day of school is June 8, 2026. Eligible bus riders who fill out the Transportation Verification form by June 8, 2026, will be notified of their bus stop location in July via the JCPS Bus Teller.

JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.
