A Message from the Head of Primary Division |
Aloha PK-5 Parents, Our first week of school is off to a fabulous start with students and families meeting their new teachers and getting to know new friends. It was great to meet so many of you at Meet the Teacher Day on Tuesday. I look forward to getting to know more of you at our Parent Nights coming up in just a few weeks. The first few weeks are always a unique transition, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your child's teacher. We want to make sure everyone is on the same page in supporting your child best this year. Aloha, Leah Magaña |
Report an Absence/Late Arrival/Early Pick-up: LJA ATTENDANCE FORM This year, Kindergarten through Grade 12 attendance should be reported using the LJA Attendance Form. This new procedure replaces the SchoolPass app and can be accessible through your phone. Through this form families report absences, late arrivals, early pick-up or multiple day absences. Please contact Seon.Lecher@lejardinacademy.org for questions regarding the form. Please continue to notify your homeroom teacher of all attendance matters. For Extended Absences please see below. EXTENDED ABSENCE REQUEST PROCEDURES It is the responsibility of each family to request extended absence approval in a timely manner from the administration prior to any absence not due to illness or family emergency. Parents must contact the Dean of Academics for prior approval. (From the LJA 2022-2023 Code of Conduct in the Parent Portal.) |
