Carroll County students did a wonderful job representing our district at today’s Carroll County Chamber of Commerce meeting!

The district welcomed business and community leaders to Carroll County Middle School, where students from across grade levels took part in the program. Two students from Kathryn Winn Primary greeted guests, two Cartmell Elementary students led the Pledge of Allegiance, and two Carroll County High School students shared highlights about our district. The CCMS band performed for the guests and the W.E.B. Leaders served as hosts and hostesses.

Each student was well-spoken, confident and poised throughout their presentation. We’re proud of these students and the way they represented Carroll County Schools!

The season for flu, stomach viruses and COVID is here, and we are seeing an increase in students and staff coming to school while sick. We know it can be challenging for families, and we truly appreciate your partnership in helping keep everyone healthy.
Please take a moment to review this flyer for helpful guidance on when it’s best to keep your child (or yourself) home and when it is safe to return to school. Allowing time to rest and recover helps your child heal and protects classmates and staff as well.
Thank you for your care, understanding, and support in keeping our Panther community healthy and learning strong!

Kentucky is experiencing a measles outbreak with 170 confirmed cases as of October 16, 2026. Measles, a highly contagious illness, can be prevented by receiving the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination.
The Kentucky Department for Public Health has confirmed cases in Carroll County, but there are none in Carroll County Schools. Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes and a rash. Please be mindful of these symptoms before sending children to school. Kentucky measles information is available at this link: Kentucky Measles Dashboard

Some general information to consider:
‣ Kentucky currently has 170 confirmed cases of measles in Kentucky.
‣Measles is highly contagious. Exposure can occur simply by being in the same area, such as a gym, as someone with measles.
‣Two MMR doses are recommended for full vaccination.
‣If someone is exposed and is not fully vaccinated, they may need to remain home and be monitored for 21 days. We can offer home hospital services during this time if appropriate.
‣A healthcare provider can order a test to check immunity.
‣After exposure, a child may be able to receive an additional MMR dose if at least 30 days have passed since the previous dose.

Carroll County Schools is celebrating progress on the Kentucky Summative Assessment test across all schools.
We’re proud to showcase our student accomplishments, including:
Cartmell Elementary moved out of TSI (Targeted Support and Improvement) status. It has been a TSI school for the past two years and has required intensive state and federal support.
Carroll County Middle School received a blue rating, the highest rating, for progress in English language proficiency.
Carroll County High School received a blue rating, the highest rating, for postsecondary readiness. They scored 14% higher than the state.
Carroll County High School increased from an orange to a yellow rating for their overall score, moving from low performance to medium performance.
Reading scores at all three school testing levels - elementary, middle and high - showed an increase in the number of students who are performing at proficient and distinguished levels.
“We will continue to celebrate growth and focus on what our students need to be successful,” said Carroll County Schools Superintendent Dr. Robin Stephenson. However, the vision for Carroll County Schools goes beyond test scores.
“I want the schools in our community to be the most inviting places in town; places where students enjoy coming each day, families feel welcome, and community members are proud to visit,” Stephenson said, emphasizing that everyone should know they are welcome in Carroll County Schools’ buildings. “That kind of environment doesn't happen by accident. It comes from the way we treat one another, the relationships we build, the opportunities we provide, and the care we show our students, staff, and families every day.”
Staff and administrators continue to work together to make improvements that will benefit our students. More information on KSA results can be found at this link: https://reportcard.kyschools.us/

First grade Primary Talent Pool students designed a habitat for a selected zoo animal based on its specific needs. Students researched their animals and determined how to provide essential resources, including a water source, food, shelter, and an enrichment activity. They then created a habitat design and an Animal Care Sheet for the zookeeper, explaining how to properly care for their animal. Through this hands-on project, students apply science knowledge while developing research, problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, design, and communication skills.
