JCPS Satellite Offices

JCPS satellite office opening

 

JCPS provides services to families at the office through a variety of departments:

Access and Equity (Homeless Education Sort)

Staff will be available to connect parents with resources that strengthen educational access and student achievement, such as out-of-school-time learning opportunities, volunteer recruitment, homeless education, and foster care services.

Community Schools (Available at Shawnee location only)

Community Schools are public school buildings that are open after the regular school day and offer programming for the entire family. Every community school program site is unique, much like the communities they serve, and every community school will make the effort to meet the needs of its particular community. The Community Schools Programs is a partnership between Louisville Metro Government and Jefferson County Public Schools.

Volunteer Talent Center

Many volunteer opportunities are available through schools. Some efforts have a districtwide focus and are linked to specific programs. All volunteers select the task, time, and where they want to work. Depending on the activity, volunteers can commit for a day, week, or month or for the entire school year. (The preferred commitment for tutors and mentors is a minimum of 30 minutes to an hour weekly throughout the school year.) While most volunteer activities do not require special skills, all efforts do require patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude.

Office of School Choice

Staff will be at the satellite offices to assist families with applications for students with enrollments or who have a change of address. They will also help families who wish to submit a student transfer request or learn more about optional and magnet programs in the district.

Student Relations

Staff will be available on Tuesdays to meet with students and families who are recommended for choice and alternative school placement. They will work with the case manager, school staff, parents, and students to make appropriate decisions regarding student placement in choice and alternative behavior support schools. (Only at the West Louisville Satellite Office)

Exceptional Child Education

Staff will be available on Thursdays to focus on the individual needs of students who are eligible for special education and related services according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). (Only at the West Louisville Satellite Office)
