Dear Future Kindergarten Families,
As you prepare for this exciting new chapter in your child’s education, we invite you to review the attached attendance boundary map to determine which school your kindergartener will be assigned to based on your home address.
We recognize that unique circumstances sometimes lead families to request a school placement outside of their child’s assigned school based on home address. While we aim to support parent choice whenever possible, please note that hardship placements are dependent on space availability at the requested school. Each application is carefully reviewed, and we strive to accommodate families to the best of our ability. The hardship application is now open and will remain available through May 25. If you have any questions or need assistance with the process, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 606-723-2181.
This morning at 7:35 AM, the district was made aware of a possible threat circulating on social media. In response, our team acted swiftly and responsibly by placing the high school, middle school and ATC on lockdown while we investigated the situation in coordination with our district police and administration.
A general threat was identified and immediately turned over to the appropriate law enforcement authorities for further investigation. At 9:00 AM, after confirming there was no active threat to students or staff, the lockdown was lifted.
We want to reassure our families that the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We are proud of how quickly and professionally our schools and law enforcement responded to ensure everyone remained safe.
