ZT Families,

Since the board voted to postpone the vote on the District’s proposal to close consolidate, and relocate some JCPS schools for the 2026–27 school year, we are not going to have our parent meeting after the Winter Concert this Thursday. We are still having our Winter Concert so please come and enjoy the show!

Thank you,
Mrs. Cravens
