Parents and Guardians,
Letters of Notification for Summer School are going home with students today, and will be mailed to virtual students. These letters were based on grades on the last progress report that went home. It is important to note that students still have time to avoid summer school by working in class to bring up their grades.
Please complete the bottom portion of the letter and send it back to school with your student next week. If no response is received by Thursday, we will be making phone calls home to discuss.
Feel free to call the school with any questions you may have, 502-255-7781. Thank you!

Trimble County Jr/Sr High School is pleased to announce plans for the 2021 Graduation Ceremony!
We are fortunate to have the ability to host a traditional in-person ceremony this year. In an effort to ensure we meet the capacity restrictions provided in the most recent guidance, graduates will be allotted 12 guest tickets. These tickets will be given out to graduates closer to the date of the ceremony. Guests must present their ticket to be admitted. Masks will be required, and social distancing is recommended. Members of the same household are encouraged to sit together.
Graduation is set for Saturday, May 29th, 10:00 am, at the Jr/Sr High gymnasium! We can’t wait to see you there!
Students and Families: It is almost that time of year for state testing. Students in 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th grade will be taking K-PREP (Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress) in areas of Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies and On-Demand Writing. This year, students should be able to accomplish all testing in one day as the test has been modified during the COVID 19 Pandemic. Students in the 10th grade will test May 5th, 11th grade will test May 6th, and 7th/8th grade will test May 10th. If you are a virtual student, you are encouraged to come to the school on your test day and test with your class. If you are virtual and would like to make other arrangements, please contact your virtual liaison. Virtual students need to communicate and confirm your plan for testing to the following: Michelle.Jones@trimble.kyschools.us for virtual B and Amy.Pyles@trimble.kyschools.us for virtual A. You may also reach out to Andrea.Howerton@trimble.kyschools.us. Please contact one of the above by May 3rd so we can plan accordingly.

“Late penalties for daily assignments may be applied as follows:
1 Day = 10% grade reduction
2-3 Days = 20% grade reduction
4+ Days = 50% grade reduction
Daily Assignments will not be carried over from one unit of study to another.”
Please encourage your student to work on MOST RECENT assignments first, as they continue to work, and to follow up with their teachers for class specific information. Also, please remember ESS is offered on Tuesdays and Wednesday, after school until 4:30. Additional tutoring options may be scheduled with Mrs. Pyles.
It is that time of year – time to hold Parent Elections for Site Based Council!
A parent is defined as, "parent, stepparent, or foster parent. Guardians also qualify as parents if the student lives with them and they have a court order giving them legal custody." Parents MUST have a student enrolled in TCJSHS. Employees of TCJSHS, the Central Office, and the Board of Education (and their immediate family members) are not eligible to serve as a Parent Member on the Council. If you would like to nominate yourself, or another parent, please email the nomination to Shawna Jent: shawna.jent@trimble.kyschools.us.
Nominations will be accepted thru April 22nd at 5 pm. Election will be held on April 30th. More details regarding the election will be shared soon.
