We hope everyone is staying safe and warm as we navigate this week’s winter storm. Due to continued concerns with road conditions and low temperatures, Wednesday, January 8th, will be NTI Day 2 in Jessamine County. (NTI Day 1 was back in November.)
For families experiencing power outages, we want to reassure you that students will have extra time to complete their NTI assignments. Your family’s safety and well-being come first, and we will work together to ensure that students can stay on track.
Our teachers will be available via email to offer assistance and support with assignments throughout the day tomorrow. If you or your child have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
In addition, JCS Childcare will be open for students that are pre-registered and have a confirmed NTI spot from 8-5, and Athletic Directors will communicate with coaches and teams about athletic events.
We appreciate the crews who are working tirelessly to restore power, clear roads, and keep our community safe. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and make a difference in helping us return to in-person instruction as soon as possible.


Happy night before a Traditional Snow Day...no NTI work for tomorrow!
Look at all the fun Ms. Brown's and Ms. Richard's students have already had during this winter event! We’d love to see how your child enjoys their Snow Day tomorrow—feel free to share photos with their teacher. Have a fantastic and safe Snow Day!

Ms. B’s (Breitenbach) class loves to do Danny Go movement breaks to get their wiggles out between transitions in instruction. 🕺💃 They love singing 🎤 and dancing 🎶 along to all of his songs! 🎉🎵


Students learn in all different ways. These students are taking turns counting by 1s to 100 by using a pop-it! 🔢 Kindergarten standards can be practiced in many fun, engaging ways. Let your child show you how they can "pop" their way to counting with a pop-it!🎉🎈


Collaborative play is so important to our students! It's where they master the art of sharing, develop essential turn-taking skills, and learn the power of teamwork. Every moment is an opportunity to build friendships, boost communication, and unlock creativity!
