Each family is asked to complete the Household Income Form (HIF), a completely private and confidential form that has a big impact on the funding our schools receive. Please complete the form today! If you have already completed the form, thank you!

Please take a few moments today to fill out your student’s Household Income Form. Your effort makes a lasting difference for our students, families, and schools.

Who is a Carroll County educator who goes above and beyond?

We have so many educators who give their time, talent and heart to help our students thrive. Now, our community has an opportunity to make sure their efforts are recognized beyond our schools.

The Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative is celebrating its 50th anniversary by celebrating our teachers. Three Carroll County educators will be selected as finalists for the Honoring Excellence Ceremony: 50 Educators. 50 Years. One Mission, with one educator receiving the award for our district.

We invite parents, families, students, colleagues and community members to nominate a Carroll County educator who invests in their students, continues to grow professionally and consistently goes above and beyond.

If someone comes to mind, take a few minutes to tell their story. Your nomination could help shine a light on an educator who deserves to be recognized.

Nominate a Carroll County educator at www.ovec.org/nominate.

Carroll County Middle School was named in an unfortunately popular internet trend involving the "Cat in the Hat." CCMS staff and the Carrollton Police Department immediately began investigating. No threats were made, but we are alerting families to the issue. An increased police presence will be visible in our schools.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter.

As temperatures change throughout the school year, so do our recess plans.

We have created a weather restrictions chart to help families understand when students will have recess outside and when recess will move indoors based on the temperature.

The chart provides clear temperature guidelines so families know what to expect and can help students dress appropriately for the school day.

Please take a few minutes to review the chart and keep these guidelines in mind as you plan for school each day.

Superintendent Search Committee Meeting Agenda
Kentucky schools now have a new accountability model that places a greater emphasis on student attendance, including chronic absenteeism.

A student is considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year for any reason, excused or unexcused. In a typical 170-day school year, that means missing 17 or more days.

Regular attendance helps students stay engaged, build strong relationships with teachers and classmates, participate in school activities and stay on track for graduation and their future goals.

We understand that illnesses, family emergencies and unexpected situations happen. Our goal is not to discourage families from keeping sick children home when necessary. Instead, we want to encourage consistent attendance whenever students are healthy and able to attend.

Families can help by:

🖤 Scheduling appointments outside of school hours when possible
💛 Planning vacations during school breaks
🖤 Encouraging students to attend school every day unless they are truly ill
💛 Communicating with your child's school if challenges arise that may affect attendance

Questions about attendance? Contact Mark Willhoite, Chief Operations Officer/Director of Pupil Personnel, at 732-7070.
