We were excited to host an ELL Family Workshop, led by Mrs. Fox, to support the families of our English Language Learners. This event provided families with a glimpse into the curriculum their students are using in the classroom, as well as tools designed to support language acquisition. In addition, representatives were on hand to share information about valuable community resources and provide translation assistance. We appreciate the families who joined us and the staff who helped make this event a success! At LAJH, we believe in supporting every student and family on their journey to success!








A huge shoutout to these incredible team members who go above and beyond for our students every day:
Mrs. Dechman – Intensive Reading
Mr. Dougher – Math Teacher
Ms. Andersen – Media Specialist
Mrs. Johnson – Media Tech
Mrs. Jones – Band Director
Your dedication, hard work, and positive impact make a difference at LAJH! Thank you for all you do to support our students and school!

Weather Update #1: Winter Storm Enzo - Schools and Offices Closed on Wednesday, January 22nd.
Clay County is under a Winter Storm Warning, and after consulting with Emergency Management and reviewing the latest storm projections, we have determined that the timing of the storm’s impact in the morning will make it unsafe to transport students to school and for employees to commute to work. As a result, all Clay County District Schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, January 22nd.
We anticipate resuming normal operations on Thursday, January 23rd. Information regarding a make-up day for the missed instructional hours will be shared soon.
Please continue to monitor our social media channels for updates. Stay safe, Clay County!
