Most of our parents have registered for Parent Portal which is an online tool that enables you to monitor your child's grades and attendance. If you have not yet registered for the portal, please contact Ms. Kathleen for log in information.

Please encourage your students to build their math fluency by using First in Math in kindergarten through fifth grade. There are games and family activities at the site, and it is a fun way for students to strengthen their skills.

Applications for new admissions to the Advanced Studies Academies for the 2015-2016 school year are now available. If your child is currently enrolled at Metairie Academy and you plan to return for the 2015-2016 school year, you do not need to submit an application. Current fifth grade students who wish to attend Haynes or Patrick Taylor should not complete an application. The Admissions Office will provide these families a school selection form during the spring semester. There is more detailed information available at the Jefferson Parish Public Schools website or you can call our office.

We will conduct school tours for families who are interested in applying for admission to Metairie Academy in 2015-2016 at 9:00 A.M. on October 14 and 28. If you have family members, friends, or colleagues who are considering applying for admission to MAAS, please encourage them to set up an appointment to take a tour of the school.

Parent conferences will be on October 21 from 3:30 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Since the time is limited, I request that you schedule a conference only if there is a concern you have not yet discussed with your child's teacher. If you do wish to have a conference, please call the office to schedule your appointment.

Our neighbors appreciate your respect when parking and proceeding through the car pool lines. Please avoid blocking driveways and parking on lawns. There has been extensive roadwork around our school, and I appreciate your patience as you navigate the congested streets.

As of September 23, 2014 the lot across the street that we use for parking will no longer be available.  No automobiles or property of any kind may be parked, kept, stored, or otherwise situated on the property owned by Piana, LLC.  When parking for events on campus or waiting in the carpool line, please be mindful of our neighbors.
