📢 Important Communication Update 📢
Dear Students, Families, and Community Members,
In accordance with House Bill 181, recently passed in the state of Kentucky, all school personnel are now prohibited from communicating with students through any untraceable or unofficial lines of communication.
As a result, we will no longer be able to use personal messaging apps or other informal methods to connect with students.
Moving forward, all communication must take place through one of the following official and monitored channels:
• 📧 School Email
• ☎️ School Phone
• 📱 Thrillshare/Apptegy App
Please know that this change does not affect how much we care about our students. We are simply committed to ensuring that all communication remains safe, professional, and in compliance with the law.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to protect both our students and staff.
