Jessamine County Schools

Today, please join us in showing some extra appreciation for our dedicated staff who keep our schools moving forward! 🚍 Long before our hallways fill with footsteps, our drivers and monitors are already on the road. They greet with a smile, offer a listening ear, remember routines, and help start and end each day on a positive note. Through early mornings, rainy afternoons, and everything in between, they make sure each student gets to school and back home safe and sound. We're so grateful for our amazing Transportation Team - they're at the foundation of everything that we do. 💛
