It's Red Ribbon Week! Each day we focus on a different aspect of how to live your life drug free.
Monday: Your choices are the key to your dreams. Wear school appropriate pajamas today. No slippers, please!
Tuesday: Team up for safety! Wear your favorite sports shirt or jersey!
Wednesday: Be someone's sunshine. Shine a little brighter - wear yellow and be someone's sunshine.
Thursday: Safe schools, strong community. Wear school spirit shirts or colors to show that we are united as a school.
Friday: Creepy but careful. Wear a school appropriate Halloween costume or shirt to scare unsafe medicine habits away. No face paint, masks, or props.
Are you a veteran of the armed forces or do you have a family member who is a veteran? We would love to connect with you to help educate our students about your experiences.
If you are willing to connect and work with us to teach students about the armed forces as a veteran, please reach out to our Family Resource Coordinator, Eric Adams at eric.adams@bullitt.kyschools.us.
We love having visitors join our students for lunch, however we must ensure we are following the state guidelines for food. Visitors are not permitted to bring outside food into the school cafeteria. Thank you for understanding.
We hate having to turn family away from awards ceremonies and other family events during the school day, but student safety is our first priority.
What does this mean?
A Title I school is a public school receiving federal funding through the Title I, Part A program of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. These funds are allocated to schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families to help raise academic achievement for all students, particularly those at risk of failing to meet state standards.
How does LJES use Title 1 funds?
Title I funds supplement, rather than replace, state and local funding and can be used for various activities, such as hiring more teachers, providing additional instructional supplies, implementing after-school programs, or supporting parental involvement.
Here at LJES, we use our funding to:
- pay for half of the school librarian
- hire an additional staff member to work with small groups throughout the school day
- purchase technology that accompanies our Reading and Math curriculum to enable teachers to plan and meet individual needs
- pay for staff to receive training to further their teaching skills and knowledge
