Blue Lick Elementary School's vision is “Our students will be academically, socially, and emotionally prepared for middle school.”Pictured is Elizabeth Johnson, the Family Resource Director at Blue Lick Elementary. DHC gave a gift card to assist with the students' Meet the Teacher Night and Back to School Bash.
Last week, school supplies were delivered to J.B. Atkinson Academy for Excellence and Portland Elementary School. We're so proud to have these great Jefferson County Public Schools as our friends and community partners. Have a great school year!
Over two weeks from May 28th to June 12th, 2026, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) health care staff are hosting district-wide school physical opportunities. The JCPS students can get their mandatory physicals, vision and hearing tests, and confirm their immunizations are up to date. This is a fantastic opportunity for children and families to get prepared for the upcoming school year. The staff are also on hand providing free eye examinations.
