National School Choice Week is the last week in January. We are so appreciative of your decision to be a part of Jefferson Academy and will do everything within our power to make sure your family has a spectacular school experience.  

The Panorama Survey is still accessible for your insight. Please know we take your feedback to heart and continue to work to make JA even better than it already is. In response to the School Accountability Committee (SAC) survey this fall, we have already submitted to the JA Board of Directors a school calendar for 2024-25 (which they approved this week) that aligns both the elementary and secondary campuses for the upcoming school year. Additionally, our teaching staff has spent significant time in professional learning looking at the academic workload we ask of JA students to ensure that a school/home balance exists while preparing students for their post-secondary lives.

Interested in Taking College Classes in the 2024-2025 school year?

There are two mandatory meetings in the upcoming weeks for students interested in becoming a Concurrent Enrollment (CE) student and taking college courses for the first time.  This includes current 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th grade students who have never taken a CE/college course.  

A concurrent enrollment student is a 9th-12th grade student enrolled at JA and our partner institution of higher education, Front Range Community College.  If the requirements of the program are met, JA will pay the tuition portion of those college courses. Students are responsible for fees and books, including technology costs. There are specific criteria to qualify for Concurrent Enrollment courses which will be reviewed in detail at the meetings.  Qualifications include being academically ready (all A’s and B’s), having high social maturity, strong attendance, and a desire to work hard.  Concurrent Enrollment needs to be a student led process.

Meeting Information: You must attend both meetings and qualify to take college courses.

1.  JA Meeting on Thursday, February 15, 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm via Zoom.  This meeting will have specific JA information including qualifications and policies. Students and a parent/guardian are required to attend. I will send the Zoom link to student emails during the school day on February 15.

2.  FRCC Information Session on Wednesday, February 21, 5:30 pm-7:00 pm, via Zoom.  This meeting will focus on FRCC processes, information, and policies. Only students who attend the mandatory meeting on February 15 will be sent the Zoom link for this meeting. Students and a parent/guardian are required to attend.

This annual process will be your only opportunity to take college courses for the 2024 - 2025 academic year.
