IMPORTANT! DUAL CREDIT Announcement
JCS Dual Credit students: Dual credit courses will begin on August 17. That is BEFORE we actually begin school. We will have a Zoom meeting with Jama Griffie, HCTC Dual Credit coordinator on August 10 @ 6:00 pm. She will go over how to set up your account and how to access Blackboard. If you have never done this or need help starting back, you need to join us. We will post the link closer to the date of the meeting. On campus classes will now be a hybrid model, where you will join the class virtually at a specific time.
Also, if you need to make a schedule change, you may do so at school on August 10 or 11. Remember, if you make a change in a dual credit course, you MUST change it with both JCS and HCTC. I will also be available to assist anyone who needs help. Don’t hesitate to ask. We want you to get off to a good start!
We are waiting for ACT registration to open back up. They have added several more test dates in September and October. Right now, HCTC has waived placement testing for their courses for the fall semester.

The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program - $313.50 per student.
Read more to see if you qualify.
Kentucky Approved for P-EBT Benefits
The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program is a financial resource for families with students who lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to COVID-19. P-EBT provides households with an EBT card with funds (up to $313.50 per student) to spend on food at home for students. Kentucky has now been approved by USDA to provide these benefits. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) and the Kentucky Department of Education are partnering in providing this benefit to families as quickly as possible. The program will be expedited in three specific groups of students.
