Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have made adjustments due to the winter weather.

🚨DELAYED START | JCPS will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, February 2, 2026. There will be no JCPS Early Childhood classes. This decision will allow students to be waiting at bus stops and walking to school in the daylight.

If your child is a bus rider, their bus will pick them up two hours later than normal. We appreciate your patience as bus drivers prioritize safety. If your student is a bus rider or walker, please make sure to check their route and talk with them about safe places to stand and walk. If you are driving your student to school please allow extra time for transportation.

School start times when operating on a two-hour delay:

7:30 a.m. schools will start at 9:30 a.m.
8:40 a.m. schools will start at 10:40 a.m.
9:40 a.m. schools will start at 11:40 a.m.

All dismissal times remain normal.

After school athletic and extracurricular activities remain scheduled as planned.

If there are any changes to the YMCA Child Enrichment Program (CEP), families will be notified by CEP.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to welcoming students back to school!

❄ NTI DAY | Today, our teams spent the day evaluating road conditions and school campuses across the District. While many main roads remain in good shape, several side streets and neighborhood roadways are still icy.

These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

❄ NTI DAYS | After evaluating road conditions throughout the community, Wednesday, Jan. 28 and Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, will be Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Days for JCPS students and staff. While our crews report that most main roads are in good shape, many side streets and neighborhood roads across the county remain hazardous. Due to these lingering conditions and low temperatures, we believe transitioning to NTI is the safest choice for our students and staff.

Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday and Thursday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we navigate these winter conditions. Please stay warm and safe.

Stay safe and keep warm

❄ SNOW DAYS | Due to snow and hazardous road conditions, Monday, Jan. 26 and Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026 will be traditional snow days with no online learning.

All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled.

If there are any changes to YMCA CEP, families will be notified by CEP.

We will re-evaluate conditions on Tuesday and provide an update on Wednesday's schedule as early as possible so our families and staff have time to prepare.

❄ NTI Day | Due to forecasted winter weather, Friday, December 12, 2025 will be a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day for JCPS students and staff.

This short-term NTI day is recognized as a standard instructional day and will not extend the school calendar. On these days, instruction is asynchronous and self-paced, meaning students will not receive live, online lessons from a teacher. Families received school-specific NTI plans in November; please refer to those plans for details on assignments and expectations. Each Kentucky school district has 10 NTI days available, and this will be our second NTI day of the school year.

Additionally, all after-school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, December 12. If there are any changes to the YMCA Child Enrichment Program (CEP), families will be notified directly by the CEP staff.

SCHOOLS OPEN THURSDAY | All JCPS schools and buildings will open and operate as normal tomorrow, Thursday, November 6, 2025.

Out of an abundance of caution after yesterday's plane crash, we tested water and air quality at all of our schools and buildings today. All tests confirm conditions are normal and safe for students and staff. Louisville Metro Government officials have also informed us that it is safe to reopen schools.

Our thoughts remain with all those affected by Tuesday’s tragedy. We recognize that students, families, and staff may need extra support and we are here to help. We want to remind you that counseling and mental health teams are fully prepared at every school to assist students. Please reach out directly to your school on Thursday if your child would like to talk with a staff member. We also partner with Care Solace to connect families with professional counseling supports.

For our employees, please use our Employee Assistance Program available at no cost for you and your family members.

Thank you for your continued support of JCPS. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our schools on Thursday morning.
