After School Activity Pick Up

We are so proud to offer a wide range of extracurricular activities at JJ. With multiple activities letting out at the same time, we ask that all parents or guardians use our car rider process to pick up after these activities. Please make sure to enter our parking lot from Halcyon Rd, wait in line to pick up your child, and exit the parking lot near the Charlestown Library. Do not park and walk over to get your child. This makes dismissal from these activities unsafe.
