Here is more, updated information about our school reopening plans. The Jefferson County Board of Education approved the phased-in reopening of our schools to start on March 17th.
All schools will use the same hybrid model schedule, meaning there will be two days of in-person instruction and three days of virtual learning for students choosing the in-person option. In-person instruction will be available to all special education (ECE) students in kindergarten through fifth grade, four days a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Students will be assigned in two groups for in-person instruction. Students with a last name beginning with A-K will be in group A and students with a last name beginning with L-Z will be in group B. We will work with families to ensure all students from a household will attend in-person classes on the same day
- Grades K-2 elementary school students begin their hybrid learning plan on Wednesday, March 17th. We are still determining what the board-approved March 17th “first day of school” will look like for K-2 students and teachers and will announce those plans soon.
- Grades 3-5 begin their hybrid learning plan on March 18th.
- Early Childhood begins their hybrid learning plan on March 22nd.
Middle and high school students begin their hybrid learning plan on April 5th.
Families have the option to continue learning virtually five days a week.
Families are encouraged to make their selection to continue learning virtually or switch to in-person instruction on our JCPS website.
JCPS will have more details about what their reopening plan will look like next week.

MetroSWAP - A Safe Zone for Online Sellers
Did you just sell an item online and need a place to meet to complete the transaction? Marketplace, Craig's List, and all other online sellers, if you are looking for a public place to exchange your items, look no further than in the parking lot of a police station. Do you share custody of a child and are looking for somewhere to exchange custody? Again, a great place to consider is at a MetroSWAP Zone.
The Louisville Metro Police Department is providing MetroSWAP Zones around the city. These areas are located outside of some of our Divisions. There is 24 hour video surveillance.
Tips for using MetroSWAP:
- Agree to meet the person ONLY at a MetroSWAP station.
- Meet only during daylight hours.
- Tell someone you trust where you are meeting and at what time.
- Meet in the parking lot. There will be two (2) designated parking spots at each location for use.
- Make this interaction brief and to the point.

Be informed about crimes with LMPD's crime mapping website
The Louisville Metro Police Department uses a Crime Mapping website to display crime on a map in Jefferson County. Zoom in to see crimes in an area, or put an address in the address bar at top left to search. You may sign up for auto email alerts for crime around an address. Reports are made available to the public after a process of internal review, often in the same day as the report taken. Due to the nature of some crimes, reports are made available to public upon the completion of a thorough investigation and will be made available as soon as practical.
Or use the crime mapping iPhone app. If you see crime occurring, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department. Call 911 for emergencies. Call 502-574-7111 for non-emergency related help or to find a towed vehicle. Call 574-LMPD to report crime tips.
Please call the LMPD non-emergency number, instead of sending an email, if you're seeing suspicious activity in your neighborhood. Sending emails to LMPD delays response, and officers need to be dispatched for the activity. These citations continue the nuisance abatement process. The LMPD non-emergency line is 574-7111 or 574-2111
