The Letcher County Schools will be closed on Monday, September 30. We still have many families without power and roads covered in debris from the storms. We want to thank all those working to get the electricity restored and roads cleared.
The Letcher County Schools will be on a One Hour Delay for Wednesday, September 25, 2024.
Tomorrow will be another high attendance day at Martha Jane Potter. If our attendance tomorrow is 92% or higher, we will have ice pops at break and a glow dance at the end of the day on Thursday. We hope to see all our cardinals at school as we continue to emphasize the importance of showing up every day!
Good afternoon, Martha Jane Potter Families!
This is just a reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, September 12 is “High Attendance Day.” Our goal is to have the highest attendance in Letcher County and it will take all of us to make that happen!
We have prizes planned that the students can earn based on how high our attendance gets.
There is also a special celebrity surprise for all students who come to school tomorrow.
We hope to see all of our Cardinals tomorrow so we can show the rest of the county why we are the best!
Due to a water outage, Martha Jane Potter Elementary and Fleming Neon Middle Schools will be closed for Thursday, August 29, 2024. All other schools are on the regular schedule.
After checking building temperatures, the forecast, and with our roof company, MJP will also release at 1:00 pm on Thursday, August 29, 2024. We wanted to get this information out to our parents for planning purposes and we appreciate your support and patience while dealing with this project. We want to be cautious and proactive. We will be far enough along with the roof project, that it should not be an issue after this week. We will monitor it closely to ensure that our students have the best possible learning environment.
Due to the excessive heat and ongoing roof project, Martha Jane Potter Elementary will be dismissing at 1:00 PM today, August 28, 2024.
MJP Families,

Excuses will not be accepted after this point and the absences will reman unexcused.
Thank you for your help prioritizing attendance!
As a reminder, MJP will be having a special election for a parent member to our SBDM Council today from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. Parents may vote in person in the office between these hours.
Good afternoon, Martha Jane Potter families!
This is just a reminder that our school day begins at 7:45 am–-which means students are to be in class with instruction beginning at 7:45 am.
If your student wishes to eat breakfast at the school, they should be dropped off by 7:30 in order to have time to get breakfast before class begins.
The drop-off line tends to move the fastest between 7:15 and 7:25 am and we encourage you to arrive early to have plenty of time before dropping off.
Students who arrive after 7:45 will be counted tardy.
Thank you for helping us make the most of our 7 hours each day with students!
Bus 415 Tyler Holbrook's bus will be delayed about 15 minutes this morning due to mechanical issues.
