Week of March 24, 2025
Hello Jefferson Leadership Academy (JLA) families and caregivers,
Our boys' and girls' soccer seasons have started off strong, with a win for our girl's team and a loss for the boys. Both teams will have the chance to show their skills this week when they play Cubberly. Our girls will be at home, and our boys will be at Cubberly. See details below.
Thank you to everyone who attended our spring Lunch with Loved Ones. We had over 260 families join us for a sunny day in the quad. We hope you enjoyed the event and look forward to seeing you at our next community event this spring.
Next week will mark the end of the Quarter 3 grading period. Please review your child's progress on Canvas and ensure they have submitted all assignments and are working towards passing their classes with a C or better. If your child needs tutoring, please contact their teachers or use office hours for support. All teachers offer before or after-school tutoring weekly. Here is the Student Support Office Hours 24-25 schedule.
Here are a few events as you prepare for this week at JLA:
- Regular Day Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:00-2:40
- Boys' Soccer Game vs. Cubberly @ Cubberly: Tuesday, 3:45 – 4:45 pm
