If you will need care for your child after school next fall, please register here today for Extended Day 2020 -2021 school year. The extended day program provides a fun and enriching program from after school until 6:00 p.m. for grades PK- 8 grades, and there are a variety of program options available, including holiday care. Please note that space is limited and on a first-come-first-served basis. You will be notified if your child is placed on a waitlist. New this year, payments for Extended Day will not be due at the time of registration. Payments will be due in September 2020. If you have any questions, please contact the Extended Day office.
LAST DAYS OF SCHOOL We are currently planning the last 3 days of school, with virtual visits to the next grade level, pajama day and summer birthday celebrations.
We are organizing the last pickup of school items (yearbook, art portfolio, Big Book etc.) on Wednesday, June 3 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the JS front courtyard. Items not picked up will be available at the main campus reception in the Administration building from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. We appreciate it if you could return your child's sleeping mat. Please consider donating your child's sleep mat cover to the school if your child will not be returning to the Junior School next year. Merci.

ENROLLMENT CONTRACTS FOR 2020-21 A reminder that enrollment contracts for the 2020-21 school year go into effect on June 1 and the first payment will be due on July 15 for annual and semi-annual payment plans and August 15 for monthly payment plans. If you have not re-enrolled yet it's not too late, please access MySchoolApp to sign your child's contract.
If you would like to apply for financial aid for the 2020-21 school year, please submit applications and all required documentation to www.sssbynais.com. If you have any extenuating circumstances keeping you from making an enrollment decision by June 1, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Admissions Office at admissions@lejardinacademy.org.
TUITION DISCOUNTS AND DISTANCE LEARNING FOR 2020-2021 We are reviewing contingency plans for financial support and distance learning for next school year and will continue to make every effort to support families should school closure become necessary. The Board of Trustees has approved additional financial aid funding, and families are advised to apply for financial aid at any point in the year should financial hardship become a concern.
We are also looking at safeguards that will allow us to sustain face to face learning longer, and other models should we have to go into distance learning for periods of time that will allow flexibility for students who may need to learn from home while others learn at school. We will provide further information at the back to school meetings prior to the start of school.
INFORMATION FOR 2020 - 2021 Families returning to the Junior School next year will receive an email over the summer with information on what is needed prior to the beginning of school. The first day for all students will be August 19 with students starting in half groups on August 17 or August 18. Classroom assignment letters will be emailed home in August showing your child's homeroom teacher and which day will be your child's first day of school. Students returning to the Junior School for the 2020-21 school year will need to complete the Magnus Health information in July, but do not need to resubmit the Form 14 or the preschool supplement form 908. The only exception will be if your child was previously missing immunizations.
