No Valentine's Day Deliveries: Valentine's Day is coming up and I know that we are all excited for the day dedicated to love. Please know that we love your students and strive daily to create positive meaningful educational experiences for them, even on Valentine’s Day. In past years on Valentines we have been inundated with deliveries. This is a major distraction for students and teachers. We believe it negatively impacts learning. Because of that, we will not be delivering Valentine gifts to students at school. Thank you for your understanding and support in this.

Valentines Dance: After school on February 14th from 3:00 - 5:00 PM we will be having a Valentine's Dance! It costs $3 cash to get in. Only SaJHS students (must show SaJHS student ID) are allowed and you need to have S’s in Citizenship to come! If you have any U’s or N’s get them made up with the teacher right away! There will be a live DJ! No date is required! Bring your friends and have a fun time!
