Strong family connections don’t happen by accident — they grow through consistent, thoughtful communication. As part of #KyFamEngage25, we’re highlighting how our families stay connected even with busy schedules and multiple kids in different stages of life. This week, one of our East Jessamine families shared how they make intentional moments to check in, stay supportive, and keep communication flowing in meaningful ways. Their story reminds us that every family looks different, but making time to truly listen makes all the difference. Check out their full reflection in the graphic below and consider how you build two-way communication in your own home.
We are thrilled to celebrate Madeline, one of our incredible Students of the Month! Madeline is a shining example of a JCS Critical Thinker. In the classroom, she doesn't just look for the easy answer—she digs deeper, consistently applying her skills to tackle complex problems. Her commitment to exploring and understanding new concepts, especially in math, demonstrates the kind of rigorous inquiry we strive for in our students. Keep challenging yourself, Madeline!

This week, we are excited to celebrate four incredible educators who make East Jessamine High School a better place each and every day — Ms. Bradley, Mr. Wallace, Mrs. Conn, and Mrs. Coofer. Each of these teachers brings something special to our Jaguar community. They build strong relationships, create engaging learning environments, and consistently go above and beyond to support our students. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment to excellence shine through in everything they do.
Today we’re kicking off Family Engagement Week with Monday’s theme: Relationship Building! As our students move through their high school years, families play a huge role in shaping the relationships that will carry into adulthood. Today’s question asks: How do you support and guide your emerging adult while also helping them grow in independence? We’re grateful to Crystal Moore for sharing her perspective with us. Her thoughtful approach to fostering independence—while staying present, supportive, and connected—reminds us just how important these moments are as our students step into who they’re becoming. Families like hers show that relationship-building doesn’t end in childhood; it evolves. It becomes conversations, trust, boundaries, shared moments, and the steady reminder that home is a place of unconditional support. We invite you to join in today’s theme by sharing your own experiences below! #KyFamEngage25

Give it up for Ms. Albertson! Let's hear from our Jaguars on how she makes East such a special place!
"Ms. Albertson is one of the most amazing teachers, people, and friends anyone could ever ask for. She radiates light, kindness, and positivity, and she showed up just when I needed those things most. She lets me tag along with her to games and events, and I am in awe of her ability to make everyone around her feel welcome. She's hardworking and hilarious and funny. You never once could doubt where her priorities lie. Her ability to connect with students while also maintaining total control of her classroom is inspirational. I am beyond grateful for her each and every day. There's no one I'd rather be interdepartmental besties with! We are so lucky to have her here at East." -EJHS Colleague
"Ms. Albertson is a great teacher because she inspires everyone in her classroom to do well. She keeps everyone on task and she can be fun but she encourages her class to stay on task and do all of their work whenever they start to get chaotic. " -EJHS Student
