Chromebook Repair Reminders

If the device assigned to your student is in need of repair for any reason, please tell your teacher as soon as possible or bring it directly to Ms. Ward in the Library. 

• • After trouble shooting, if the device cannot be repaired, Ms. Ward will submit a heat ticket for District IT support and the device will be sent off for repair. 

  • Please be aware, the repair process may take anywhere from 8-12 weeks. Ms.Ward will email teachers and parents/guardians whenever possible to notify them of updates and/or progress towards completion.

  • Whenever possible, an NTI loaner device will be given to students for use until their device has been returned for repair. 

If you have any questions please email kari.ward@jefferson.kyschools.us 

Reminders for Picking Up Students After Clubs

We are so thankful to have so many students engaged with after school activities! With that, we have a lot of students who need to get picked up all at the same time, creating congestion in the parking lot.

If you are picking up a student after their club, please pull all the way forward through the circle, just like our normal after school dismissal, to provide as much space as possible for all waiting cars.

Additionally, we highly recommend that you park in a parking space to wait for your student. If you choose to park, you may slowly and carefully drive around cars that are waiting in line to get to a parking spot.

Because some clubs are released later than others, parking will allow more cars into the waiting area.

Thanks for your help in this matter!

No Asbestos in the Building

Below is a mandated message that is sent every school year.
(Short version: No need to worry! We don't have, nor have we ever had, any asbestos in our building.)

In compliance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, selected sections of an Asbestos Management Plan have been prepared for your building.

The Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in the administrative office of your facility.

The Management Plan shows No Asbestos containing materials are present in Echo Trail.

Tim Edlin is the JCPS designated person for the Asbestos Management Program and can be contacted at 485-3698 to answer any questions or concerns.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Meetings occur every Wednesday from 7:00-7:20am outside the Library on the social stairs.  Although this is a before school club, parents are to drop off their student as normal by the gym entrance beginning at 7am.  This means if your student is carpool, please drive through the single lane as normal and do not divide into two lanes or drop off early.  Please be mindful of our morning staff as they are making sure all students are dropped off safely.

If you have questions, you can email Mr. Stivers at joseph.stivers@jefferson.kyschools.us

We need your help! Cellphones and Peer Conflict 

We are seeing an uptick in peer conflict that is stemming from social media and group chats (text messages) communication. We are working to educate our students at school on how to resolve conflict and how to form healthy peer relationships. This work cannot be done alone and we are asking parents and guardians to partner with us in order to navigate healthy friendships while living in a tech world. Remind your child to always “Treat yourself and others with kindness” no matter if they are speaking face to face or online. Below are a few suggestions on how you can speak to your child about their social media use:

• Help them set boundaries and limits on tech. Make sure using social media doesn't get in the way of adequate sleep. 

• Have regular conversations with your child about their mental health and well-being. Talk about the platforms they're on, app features, and how they make your child feel. 

• Make sure they know to go to a trusted adult if they feel uncomfortable about something online.

Bus Transportation Update

At this point in the school year, we know the consistent number of students on each bus.  If a student needs to ride home with someone else, we will handle this on a case-by-case basis due to the availability of seats on each bus. 

The process will be:

• Both parents/guardians would send a note to school the morning of

• School Administrators will check to see if there is room on the bus

• If there is room, student will be able to ride

• If there is NOT room, student will NOT be able to ride and will need to go home their normal way

• A call will be made to let parents/guardians know if the transportation change is approved or not approved

Volunteer This School Year!

We'd love to have you participate in field trips and other volunteer opportunities. Head to the JCPS Volunteer page (Get Involved) and click Volunteer Talent Center to fill out a background check form. Background checks are kept on file with the district and are good for 5 years.
