Welcome February!
February is always a very full short month at school with Carnaval, Teachers' Convention and Family Day break and kindness activities related to Valentine's Day and Pink Shirt Day. Check out all of the events this month below!
Taking Attendance
We make an effort to do attendance right away at 8:00AM so we can make sure that students are safe inside the school. Children will be marked absent if they are not in their classroom at 8:00AM. They will be directed to go to the office for a late slip and our office staff will change their attendance code to late. This is to make sure that they are accounted for. Please call the office if you have any questions about your child's attendance.
Here is information about attendance from CBE: https://cbe.ab.ca/about-us/school-culture-and-environment/Pages/Student-Discipline.aspx
Lost and Found
The lost and found is piling up again. Teachers will take students to the lost and found to look for any of their items. Parents are welcome to come in and take a look. We will make an effort to return items that are labelled with children's names. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity at the end of next week.
Here's what's coming up at JJ in February!
