Parents and Guardians, Letters of Notification for Summer School are going home with students today, and will be mailed to virtual students.

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.

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.
