A new Facebook page "JPPS Parents" has been created … for those of you who use Facebook please "like" the page to stay informed about meeting dates, community forums, news articles, and education issues.

Just as important - please help by spreading the word about the page. The more likes we have the better. The goal is to keep all parents informed and to get all parents involved.

If you have any problems or questions please let me know.

Thank you!

Distinguished Invitees,

We, Shawn Puleo and Senthil Natarajan, two Juniors at Haynes Academy, are honored to announce the culmination of our vision and work towards a project that has been very special to us. This Friday, March 16, 2012, will mark the commencement of our MILES program. Succinctly described:

“MILES is a leadership seminar for underclassmen (9th and 10th grades) in the Greater New Orleans area. The vision of MILES is to be able to empower the Greater New Orleans youth to stand up and be as influential and vocal in their community as their older counterparts. Before they embark on their respective journeys, the students are the ones with the power to effect change.”

The School Board recently approved the following calendar change:

Staff Development/Parent Conference Day has been moved from                        April 9 to March 26.

Therefore, students DO NOT ATTEND school on March 26.  Parent conferences will be held from 4:30pm - 7:30pm on March 26.  April 9 will be a REGULAR school day for all students.  This is the beginning of Stardardized Testing Week and will allow for a regular schedule for students for the week.
