SJA is excited to announce that Year Ahead Day is happening again this year!  All SJA PYP students will be participating in this exciting event on Wednesday, January 25th.   Year Ahead Day is a fun and interactive day for the students at SJA to spend a day in the class of the grade level ahead of them (example: SK students spend their day as Grade 1 students, Grade 6 students spend their day as Grade 7 students, etc.).  This is a great way for the students at SJA to get a glimpse into their future life at SJA!  Students can get to know the teachers, see their future classroom, and take part in activities they will be participating in next year. Please know that the teacher that is assigned for your child does not mean this will be your child's classroom teacher next year. Our class will be going to Ms. Ramnarine's for the day to get an idea of what a day in Grade 5 will be like! Re-registration forms are due on February 7th.

January 20th is International Day at SJA. Parents, family and friends are welcomed to join us at 2:30 to enjoy the different cultures we have researched. 

Dear Parents/Guardians,  SJA is excited to announce that our lunch ordering system has now been upgraded! Beginning today you will place all lunch orders on-line.
