6th Grade Families - 6th grade students will return from Outdoor Lab tomorrow between 1:00 -1:20 p.m. Please be here to pick up your student, as they will be exhausted and anxious to go home with you. If you are unable to pick up your student at this time, their luggage will be in the atrium by the main office, and students will be supervised until the end of the traditional school day at 3:00 p.m. Also, please be sure to pick up any medications from the main office. Generally the buses with luggage will arrive before the students at JA between 11:30-1pm. Any help is appreciated.
