Happy New Year Jags!
SCHOOL NEWS
Tuesday, January 7th is students first day back for second semester and it is a full day schedule. Please note that there is NO LATE start in January (the first Wednesday of the month), so please be sure your student arrives at school on time.
Inclement Weather: Jefferson Academy will follow Jefferson County Schools when they call for a late start or cancellation of school due to inclement weather. Jeffco schools will communicate delays and closures via messenger emails, phone calls and text messages directly to families, in addition to local news media platforms.
Please confirm enrollment for the 2025-2026 School year: All current JA families will need to visit www.enrolljeffco.org to let us know your student's enrollment plans for the 2025-26 school year. The earlier we know, the easier it is for JA to plan for the next school year and determine what tools and resources we need to provide a thriving experience for our students. Please be sure to complete the Intent to Return in enrolljeffco before January 12, 2025 to confirm your student’s spot at JA for the 2025-2026 school year.
Traffic Pattern Reminder: Just a friendly reminder that parents and guardians picking up students need to follow our pick-up procedures. Upon entering the parking lot, follow the perimeter of the lot and pick up your student in front of the school (this is the east side of the building). Please refrain from exiting the drive line until you reach the front of the building and exit onto Reed Way. As a reminder, parents are not allowed to park in MKS or other nearby warehouse parking lots to pick up students. You may pick up students on Reed Way or 113th where there are designated bike lanes - however, do not block fire hydrants or street corners where vehicles are turning. This procedure has been put in place to keep our students and staff members safe and to prevent potential accidents in our parking lot. We appreciate your cooperation!!
2nd Semester Fees: With the new semester, please be sure to check your accounts for any fees. If you don’t remember where to find them or if you are not seeing any fees, be sure to follow the directions on the Fee Paying Guide for any updates.
