Reminders & Updates From The Principal Julie Do, MS Principal
Hello Parents,
Throughout the year, our goal as a school and MS division is to regularly gather and incorporate student, parent, and faculty feedback to help inform and improve our programs.
Today, we will be sending out a survey to parents. It is designed to capture your perspective based on your observations and discussions with your child so far this semester. We are also seeking feedback from students in an additional survey just for them.
As always, please feel free to reach out directly if you have any additional questions or concerns.
MS Dean of Academics/MYP Coordinator Rachel Domenic

Le Jardin Academy's National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society Kara Omori, Activities Director
What is the National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)?
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation's premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle-level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS and NJHS.NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
LJA Chapter Requirements:
The LJA NJHS chapter enrollment for this school year is open to all 7th-12th grade students until Friday, October 9, 2020.
