🚀 NEXT LEVEL | The JCPS Technology division teamed up with Google for Education and Forward Edge to host Google-Palooza earlier this week—welcoming 500+ teachers and staff to level up their skills in Google Workspace and dive into the future of AI with Gemini!

And that’s not all… 🎉 JCPS has officially completed its districtwide migration from Microsoft Outlook to Gmail, powering stronger collaboration, innovation, and connection across our schools! Huge thanks to everyone involved for helping keep JCPS on the cutting edge.

ZT Families,

Please complete the Comprehensive School Survey. If we get to 80% we will have ice cream for the students! We are currently only at 24% of guardians responding.

This needs to be filled out for each child in the household, not just one per family.

Even though we are closing, I will still get the results and use the information about school leadership to help me grow as an instructional leader. I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you,
Mrs. Cravens

Falcon Families,
We will be here until 5:30 tonight to register any remaining students in grades K-4 for next year. If you haven't completed the enrollment form for next year, please come by or call the school today.
Mrs. Cravens

CAR RIDER REMINDER: If a car does not have a car rider number in the window, they will be instructed to park and go inside to retrieve their child. YOU MUST HAVE AN ID WITH YOU.

If you need a new car rider number, please let us know. We will happily get a new one for you.

ZT Families,
Please fill out the Comprehensive School Survey. We currently have 16% of families complete. If we can get to 80% we will have ice cream for all of the students.

Remember, even though the school is closing in May we will still use this information. I will use the school leadership results to guide me as an instructional leader no matter where I am next year and the district will use the district leadership results to help guide them.

Due to the additional snow and ice on roads and sidewalks throughout Jefferson County, JCPS will utilize a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.

🌟 CELEBRATING SCHOOL COUNSELORS | Feb. 2 to 6 is National School Counselor Week, a time to recognize and celebrate the vital role school counselors play in supporting students’ academic success, social-emotional development, and career readiness.

Thank you to our JCPS school counselors for all you do!

🚨REGULAR SCHEDULE | After careful consideration, JCPS will return to its normal, in-person schedule on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.

As always, we encourage everyone to use caution and their best judgment when traveling to and from school.

We appreciate your continued support of our students and staff throughout JCPS.

ZT Falcon Family,
Please read this week's Family Newsletter. We need everyone to fill out the Comprehensive School Survey and get our Falcon's enrolled for next year.
