I hope everyone is currently enjoying their summer break! This message is intended to provide some clarity around a new Kentucky Bill (SB 181) that goes into effect this summer. This bill directly impacts the ways our staff, coaches, and volunteers can communicate with your student(s). Effective Monday, June 16, 2025, all electronic communication directed to students must be routed through the parent or guardian or via a student's JCPS email. Examples of direct communication no longer approved include direct text messages and/or the use of messaging apps like GroupMe/Slack/TeamSnap. While the school and/or staff may continue to post announcements on social media platforms, staff (including school volunteers) will not be allowed to reply to students' comments within those apps. Examples of non-approved direct social media platform communication include Facebook Messenger, Instagram Messenger, and direct replies on X (Formerly Twitter). Any communication with a staff member, coach, or program volunteer must be conducted through their school-issued JCPS email account beginning on June 13th. Staff have been instructed not to reply to any communication that is received from students unless it comes through the student’s JCPS email. I realize this new law may disrupt the communication systems of many of our JCPS summer programs. However, staff have been instructed to shift summer program communication to students via the student’s JCPS email and/or to create a parent-only group (students excluded) for communication purposes. Additionally, staff members leading summer trips with students will be in communication with families soon regarding communication options while on the trip. If you have immediate questions, please call the Middle School Office at 502-485-3006.
