Principal's Message

Hello JFK Families,

We are preparing for a Diagnostic Review on Dec. 2 - 5. This is a process conducted by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to identify Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools. The review is conducted by a team of educators, parents, and others who are trained in the audit process. To assist the team with their review, we need families to complete the following survey. It only takes a few minutes to complete! The link closes on Nov. 15, 2024. JFK Family Survey Link

Our Cubs will begin the Winter session of MAP testing next week. NWEA MAP Growth is a nationally normed, standardized achievement test which measures what students know and informs what they’re ready to learn next by using a computer adaptive test that adjusts to the ability and knowledge of the student.

Check out our “Upcoming November Dates,” as there are family opportunities that will take place this month.

Your Partner in Education,

Principal Helm
