Registrar Information

As we finalize student enrollment numbers, all remaining documents should be emailed to your appropriate registrar as soon as possible. All families have been notified by our registrars on what documents are still outstanding. Failure to submit all of the required documents may result in your student losing their seat at ALA Johnston for the upcoming 2022-23 school year.

Record Release Requests will be sent out to your student's current school starting this week. This request WILL NOTIFY your student's current school of your intent to withdraw for the upcoming school year. (Families who are currently holding seats at multiple schools will need to make a final decision).

Uniform Information
It has been great to meet families as they have come in to buy uniforms. Being that we have had so much success with selling uniforms out of our office, we will not be hosting a uniform night. Instead, we will continue to welcome families into our office to try on uniforms and then order online. We have our Interlock polos for sale in our office.

If you have not already done so, please begin ordering your uniforms so that you will have them before school starts. As we get closer to August, the shirts are more likely to be back ordered because there are 11 new ALA campuses opening this year.

Friday shirts are now available!

Student Services Update

The Student Services Department continues to review students’ course selections for 7-10th Grade Students in preparation for the Fall!

Families whose students registered prior to May 18th received a copy of their course selection requests via email and a link to request changes by June 1st. Those requests are now being reviewed and courses are being updated. Another course verification email will be sent toward the end of June reflecting those updates and will include those students who registered after May 18th. There will be an additional opportunity to request changes and updates at that time.

Also, Student Services will continue to verify and make adjustments to core classes as we receive final report cards and transcripts from students’ current schools. It is very important that all 7-10th Grade Students planning to attend ALA this Fall complete the Course Request Form (this was linked in your enrollment acceptance email). Course selection requests and/or additional requests for changes must be completed by July 15th in order to finalize schedules prior to the start of the school year. Missing requests will be assigned by the Student Services Department based on course availability.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Student Services at studentservices@alajohnston.org.
Sports Update

JH/HS Parents, thank you for your patience! We are still working out details for sports. We will be communicating information on tryouts very soon. We are excited for a great inaugural year of sports. Go Patriots!

Thank you to all of our elementary families who filled out our K-6 Extracurriular Activity Survey. We used the feedback from that survey to narrow down interests and make decisions on what will be manageable for our first year. Please note that we are still in the planning stages, but tentatively we would like to offer the following sports/clubs to our 3rd-5th grade students: soccer, basketball, running, Science Olympiad, MathCOUNTS, and Battle of the Books. More specific details about times and sign up information will be forthcoming as we get closer to the start of the school year.

If you requested bussing and have already made other carpool arrangements, please let our registrars know so that we can remove you from our list.
Construction Update
We are so excited about the progress of our buildings. We hope that all of our families are as excited as we are to have such an amazing and beautiful new facility to learn in.

As our construction continues, for the safety of all, we respectfully ask that everyone stay off of the site at all times. Thank you for your support with this!
