Next week is KY Safe Schools Week, and yesterday we saw a true strength of our community. 💙 Students, first responders, law enforcement, and local & district leaders came together to sign a joint declaration to keep school safety a top priority. We’re so grateful for a community that stands united—investing time, expertise, and resources to protect and support our kids.

To count as a complete meal under USDA guidelines, school breakfasts and lunches are made up of a mix of healthy food groups. This variety helps give students the balanced nutrition that supports focus, energy, and learning all day long! 🥦📚 Thank you for helping us to reduce food waste by encouraging your student to "Take what you like and eat what you take!"
What an incredible first day, JCS! From big smiles at the bus stops to high-fives in the hallways, our schools were buzzing with energy, laughter & learning. Here's to a year filled with new friendships, exciting challenges, and unforgettable moments-today was just the beginning! 💙
