Happy New Year to our families! We are excited about the next 6 months full of learning and new experiences for our students.


Reminder About Personal Mobile Devices and Toys at School:

Some of our students have shared that they got new electronic devices and toys over the holidays. We want to remind you that personal mobile devices are not permitted at K to 9 schools in the CBE. Information can be found here: Away for the Day . We also ask families to help students remember that toys, including watches that can be used to record video or play games, need to be left at home. Here is our school policy on bringing toys to school: Personal Belongings


Friday Assemblies:

Friday Assemblies are weekly opportunities to foster belonging at Janet Johnstone where we participate in shared learning, singing together and showcase the amazing work that is going on around the school. Family members are always invited to join us on Friday mornings just after 8:00AM for our short gatherings. If your child's class or club such as choir is performing, you will be notified by your child's teacher or Mrs. Paul.
