*If your child requires a prescribed medication during the school day, you need to fill out a Medication Form in the office.

Health Information
If your child requires a prescribed medication or over the counter medication during the school day, you need to fill out a Medication Form. Medicine should be brought to school by an adult with complete instructions and in its original container with the label attached (dose, name, time). Please make sure your child’s teacher and the office staff are aware of any health concerns/ allergies that require special monitoring or precautions during the school day.
Before a single dose of medication can be administered to a student in a JCPS school or on a field trip, appropriate authorization must be on file.
Authorization forms are valid only for the current school year.
Any time a change occurs for the medication (a change in dosage or a change in the time the medication should be taken, for example), written authorization from the health-care provider must be submitted.
JCPS cannot accept written or verbal requests from parents for medication administration or for any changes related to medication.
The time the medication is to be administered must be specified for all daily medications.
Authorization forms must be signed by the parent/guardian, and over-the-counter medications must also be signed by a health-care provider.

School Health Plans
Blue Lick Schedule - Coming Soon!
The first day of school is Thursday, August 8th! We ask that our students be at school by 9:30 on the first day. School hours are 9:40-4:20. If your child rides a bus, it is extremely important that they ride the FIRST DAY so that we can correctly tag each student. Also, keep in mind that the buses may run late for the first week or two of school.
Communication
Informing parents and families of school events and activities is very important to us. We will use several ways to communicate with you this year such as our Blue Lick Facebook page, email, text message, and School CNXT. It is essential that you communicate throughout the year with the office regarding transportation changes, medications/health conditions, custody paperwork, updated phone numbers/ address, and student needs. Also, every night your student should bring home their agenda that will include class and school information. You can also find the latest information on our school Facebook page and school website! Weekly messages will be sent out to parents as well.
To make sure you receive text messages, simply opt in to School Messenger by texting Y to 67587. You MUST opt in to this system to receive text messages. Even if JCPS has your correct phone number on file, you won’t receive text messages if you haven’t opted in to School Messenger.
To receive emails from the district and your child’s school, you must have your current email address in our JCPS system. Information can be updated in the Parent Portal. If you do not have a Parent Portal login, you can set up an account here.
Class Assignments
You will receive a tentative class assignment in the mail. You can also meet your teacher at the Meet Your Teacher on August 6th! Due to enrollment and class size balancing, changes could occur up to two weeks after school starts.
Meals
All students receive FREE breakfast and FREE lunch every day! Parents must complete the Educational Benefits Form (EBF) online or the forms will be sent home. Without completing these forms, our school could lose these programs that provide free breakfast/ lunch, programs, and field trips, etc.! Please complete the form at https://jcps.me/ebf
Lunch Menus can be found at: https://jcps.nutrislice.com/menu
Transportation
It is very important that we know how your child will be safely arriving and leaving school each day. You should receive a letter in the mail to verify transportation for your child. If you need to make a change, you will need to contact the office at 485-8212. Each student will receive a tag on the first day of school to indicate transportation. Please do not remove the tag or bracelet. Students will need this all year. * If there are changes to your child’s transportation, you must send a note to school about the change. There will be no pickups in the office after 4:00pm.
Bus Rider- Bus riders will enter and exit the building from the front circle each day. You will receive a bus confirmation letter indicating the bus number and stop. The bus information will be available at www.jefferson.kyschools.us/content/bus-finder
Walkers- Walkers will be dismissed from the side door between Blue Lick and Knight. Only students that live within a mile of school will be allowed to be walkers. Do not park in the in the lot and pick up your child!
Car Riders- Car riders will enter and exit at the rear door. Car Riders can be dropped off at 9:10-9:40. Cars will be given a tag to ensure only approved adults will be picking up their child. Do not drop off students in the front of the building! The front is reserved for buses only!
Visitors
For the safety of our students, visitors will be limited in the building unless you have a scheduled appointment during school hours. If you need to pick up your child or drop something off at the office, a staff member will meet you at the front door. Lunch guests will not be permitted at this time. We will provide further guidance about school activities and events as we receive additional information.
Important Reminders
Please DO NOT send any medications to school with your child. This includes all over the counter medications and cough drops. ALL medications require a physician’s approval. Medication forms are available in the front office at any time or they can be found and printed here: JCPS Medication and School Health Plan forms. Please contact the school office if your child will require either daily or emergency/as needed medications during the school day.
Custody Papers
If there are any circumstances relating to custody, visitation, or protective orders, please provide the front office with current court documents each school year and when changes occur during the school year.
Please call the school office each day your student is absent. Please send a written explanation of the absence on the day your student returns to school. Absence notes must be received within 3 days of the absence to be considered for excusal. If you know your child will be absent due to an upcoming event or travel, please inform the school office in advance. Some absences may be eligible for approved educational leave. These must be submitted on the appropriate form and approved by the principal at least 2 weeks prior to the absence.
All children will be dismissed according to the transportation plan on file. If dismissal plans must change for a particular day, please submit those changes in writing the day of or in advance of this change. There may be some instances where a change arises during the school day. If this occurs, please contact the school office before 3:30 pm so the student and teacher can be adequately notified of the change.
