REMINDER: SCHOOL RE-OPENS TOMORROW 9/16/24
Dear JLPAA families,
In anticipation of welcoming our wonderful students back, our team has been preparing the building and grounds for the reopening of school tomorrow, Monday, September 16, 2024.
We know that many of you were displaced or inconvenienced by the Airport Fire, and we are grateful for your safety and continued partnership to protect the well-being of our students.
Ashes have been cleared, surfaces have been sanitized, and air systems have been checked to insure your children return to a healthy space. We are especially thankful for unity in our community during this unforeseen time.
We look forward to reconnecting with you all on Monday!

Throughout the year, we implement MAP Growth Assessment, the most trusted and innovative assessment for measuring achievement and growth in K–8 math, reading, language usage, and science. It provides teachers with accurate, and actionable evidence to help target instruction for each student or group of students regardless of how far above or below they are from their grade level.
