Open house and staff updates

By

It’s hard to believe our first academic year is drawing to a close. But that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down any. We have lots of news to share.

—Our spring open house will be held Saturday, May 21, from 9:00 am to noon. You can tour our space, meet the director, learn about summer camps, and get information about our next academic year. Please join us.

—We will offer three summer camps this year:

Ancient Egypt, June 20 – 24

Ancient Greece, July 25 – 29

Puppetry, August 15 – 19

Camps are for rising first grade through middle school and will offer the same structure, consistency, and positive environment that our students enjoy throughout the year. You can use the camps to see if the school might be a good match for your child, or come just because your child loves the subject for the week. For more information, use the contact form on this website or call the school number.

—JRA will offer our first year of high school as some of our students move up to the 9th grade. We will add a grade each academic year. Ninth grade courses will include world history, English 9, math, physical science, foreign language (either Spanish or Japanese) and art.

—We welcome Jen Minnelli, SLP, to our staff for the 2011-2012 academic year. Mrs. Minnelli will work with the younger students as well as those most impacted by language difficulties for math and language arts, giving those students almost two hours of work with a speech and language pathologist each day. In the afternoons, she will work with individuals and small groups on pragmatic speech and social thinking. This is offered at no extra cost to parents.

There are even more exciting things going on at JRA. Stop by and see us and we’ll tell you all about them!

Comments

  1. Thanks! I’ve been meaning forever to ask if you would be offering high school by the time we need it. I can’t imagine ever leaving JRA — anywhere else would pale in comparison!

  2. Congratulations, Linda! This is such a major accomplishment by you, your staff AND the students!

    What will the fees be for the summer camps?

  3. Summer camps are $300 for a 9-3 day, with a $10 extra charge for after camp care until 5:00. We’re really excited about the camps.
