Blankets at School:
Now that it is colder, I wanted to remind families that we do not allow students to have blankets out at school or on the buses. This is a safety hazard as it can cause people to trip and fall. Also, we do not know what students might have under them and there is really no place in the educational setting for these. If students need assistance with cold-weather clothing, they can visit our Youth Service Center in the front office, and Tonya Bass will help.

Students needing to fulfill their Graduated Driver Licensing requirement can register for a free class by going to www.kentuckysafedriver.com and clicking on the Alive at 25 links located under Courses or by calling 502/699-2295.
