JA SECONDARY’S OPEN HOUSE
Do you have family or friends who are interested in having their student attend JA Secondary? Our annual Prospective Family Open House is a great time for families who want to learn about all the amazing opportunities that JA Secondary has to offer students and see our school. We will open our doors and offer student-led tours on Wednesday, November 11th from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. No RSVP is necessary.
TIS THE SEASON FOR WEATHER
As temperatures start to change, the potential for bad weather increases too. Jefferson Academy follows Jeffco Public schools decisions on school closures and 2-Hour delays due to inclement weather. If Jeffco closes schools or issues a 2-Hour delay, then JA will follow. Jeffco schools will communicate closures and delays via email and text messages and phone calls. JA Secondary will also communicate this message on Social Media and our school website.
