JLA Penguins and Family,
JLA will be closed for the Thanksgiving break next week. This is an opportunity to take the time to be with family and slow it down a bit. Make the memories count and give thanks! From our JLA family to yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Break

JLA Parents and Students,
Please save the dates for the upcoming December STAAR EOCs being administered after the Thanksgiving break. It is important that we have STAAR testers present on their testing day with their charged Chromebook and charger on the day of their tests. We ask that STAAR testers be on campus from 7:45-3:30. We offer breakfast and lunch. Non-test students will follow their regular schedule.
Thank you,
Dr. de la Pena

This Friday, JLA will host their 3rd Annual Occupation Symposium for all students. It will be held during the AM session and PM session. This is a requirement for all students to participate as part of their exit out from JLA. It's a great opportunity for our students to learn & build on their employable skills.
