There will be no school for students on Friday, March 6th and Monday, March 9th due to professional development for faculty and staff. Classes will resume on Tuesday, March 10th (A Day).
The Main office will be closed on Friday, March 6th and re-open on Monday, March 9th.
It is time for current students to re-enroll for the 2026-2027 school year. Re-enrollment invitations have been emailed to parents/guardians. Remember all Business accounts must be current to re-enroll. If you did not receive an invitation to re-enroll email, please contact the Business Office.
Current students need to re-enroll each year (instead of re-applying). The link to re-enroll your student for the 2026-2027 school year was included in the email invitation. The registration fee is $600 per student and is made through the enrollment system using a credit card account or debit account. Please note: Transactions from savings accounts cannot be processed. The deadline for re-enrollment is March 6, 2026.
Course selections for the 2026-2027 school year will begin in March after re-enrollment is complete. Students must be fully re-enrolled (all required checklist items completed) to select their course preferences.
The Counseling Office will provide more details about this process in the coming weeks. Questions? Please contact Miss Eringrace Warner at registrar@jpthegreat.org or 703-445-0219.
