The Popcorn Order Has Arrive
Phoenix Families ordered more than $8,000 worth of popcorn. It is important that the right popcorn gets to the right home. At $20 a bag, it is important that students DO NOT EAT the popcorn on the bus ride home. In addition, we do not want other students on the bus to take any of the popcorn. We have alerted bus drivers to be vigilant.
If you have ordered popcorn, we need your help
Your students CANNOT eat the popcorn on the bus. It needs to arrive at home.
Compare the order form (attached to outside bag) and what popcorn arrives at home
A few items have been back ordered, we will get the backordered items to you as soon as possible
Chicago Style Popcorn has changed to Carmel Cheese

Attendance Matters
1.HB 611 is a new Kentucky law that requires the referral of students with 15 unexcused absences to the Jefferson County Attorney's Office (JCAO). The goal of HB 611 is to reduce unexcused absences, promote consistent attendance, and ensure students receive the support they need to stay engaged in school.
2. The minimum attendance percentage is 80% (unexcused absences only). If your student drops below this number prior to January 1st, your student will be put on probation and may be exited by the end of the year.
3. Attendance Cards were mail out last week from the Board of Education.

2024 Walk A Mile in My Shoes
The 2024 Walk A Mile in My Shoes event will take place at 10 a.m. ET on Oct. 19, 2024 at Shawnee Park. This one-mile walk is to support homeless & other at-risk students in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS). Join us to learn more about the challenges our students face, the resources available and how the Louisville community can help support them!
Did you know? Last school year, JCPS identified 3,590 students as being homeless. We believe the real number of our students experiencing housing instability to be DOUBLE that number.
That is why this walk is important so everyone can learn more about how they can help!
You can RSVP and learn more about the walk here:

Social Security Numbers (SSN)
This is critical for all students.
Did you know that thousands of students don't receive free scholarship monies, often because they are just missing their Social Security Number.
Over 54% of JCPS students do not have a social security number listed in Infinite Campus. Without a linked SSN, students cannot earn KEES money.
All students are required to have a copy of their Social Security card as part of their official school records. Please bring a copy of your child's Social Security card to The Phoenix or contact Calli Hagan for other methods. 502-485-7700.
