Konnichiwa!
Laura Jeffrey Academy is currently engaged in the redesign of our classroom webpages. Our goal is to create pages that are more readily accessible, easily understandable, and more consistent in format and content across subject areas. Additionally, they are being designed to complement and align with the new Parent Portal thaat we are now piloting and intending to implement fully in the fall. Until new pages are up, please find the course outlines and learning target for 5th grade LASS  by clicking HERE!!! This website will remain for use as a student website...(which you will be able to link to from the new website)
