Comprehensive School Survey

Between navigating those giant city snow piles and the usual weekly chaos, we know your "to-do" list is probably a mile long. However, we have one small task that makes a huge impact on our school.

The JCPS Comprehensive School Survey (CSS) is officially open!

Echo Trail families are legendary for a reason—we currently hold the title for the highest participation scores in the entire JCPS Middle School Zone. Every year, our new families join the "Wolfpack Way" and help us keep that #1 spot.

Why take 10-15 minutes to do it?

• Real Change: Our Principal works tirelessly to address the specific feedback you provide regarding school safety, curriculum, and our school culture. Your voice is the blueprint we use to improve.

• It’s Not "Vanilla": Unlike those standard emails, your specific feedback helps us keep Echo Trail unique and student-centered.

• Bragging Rights: Let’s show the rest of the district that the Wolfpack is the most engaged community in Louisville!

• Goal is 80% - Currently at 29% (If we reach our Goal Dr. Ammerman will allow a Free Dress Down Day, announced at a later date)

Ready to help us Three-Peat? The survey is 100% anonymous and takes less time than waiting in the afternoon car rider line.

Thank you for being an active part of our success and for helping us keep Echo Trail at the top of the leaderboard!

Uniform Donations

Our students are growing up -- literally!

Does your student have spirit wear or school uniforms that no longer fit? Or maybe apparel from a previous grade-level team that your student is no longer on?  PTSA is partnering with the FRC to replenish clothing for students and families in need.  You can bring donations to the front office or email PTSA to make other arrangements.

Damaged Devices

Dear ETMS Parents and Guardians,

We want to share an important update regarding student technology devices.

At this time, ETMS does not have sufficient inventory to provide loaner or replacement Chromebooks. If a student’s device becomes damaged and requires repair, the district requires it be sent into the IT department for servicing. While the device is away, teachers will provide paper-based materials or alternative assignments to ensure students are still able to participate fully in their learning.

Currently, the district is experiencing a high volume of devices needing repair. Because of this backlog, we are unable to provide an estimated timeline for when repaired devices will be returned to students once they leave the building.

We also want to remind families that, per JCPS policy, students may not bring personal devices (such as laptops or tablets) into the building to use as a replacement.

We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work through these challenges.
