Thanks a Latte Volunteers!
We are so fortunate to have a dedicated crew of volunteers who support us at the school in many ways! We want to send a huge THANK YOU / MERCI to everyone who was able to attend the volunteer tea and those who were not able to make it. You are a big part of what makes us Better Together / Meilleur Ensemble at JJ!
June is Here!
June is a month of many feelings! There are many exciting events and some worried feelings about change. Our school team is committed to help all children navigate these big emotions. Here are some of the things we are doing to prepare for the transition to next year:
Transition visits with middle schools have already occurred and our grade 4 teachers will meet with the teams at these schools to share information before the end of the year.
Teachers will work with their students to reflect on their growth from this year and to set some goals for next year. There is a lot to celebrate!
Teachers will pass on important information to next year's teachers and will carefully place students in balanced classes with peers that they work with. ***Please note: Teacher and classroom assignments will not be final until just before the first day of school.
Younger students will visit their new grades and see what next years classrooms may look like.
We will continue our school-wide mixed Family Groups for the month of June so students have the opportunity to meet students and teachers from other parts of the school.
Our Welcome to Kindergarten evening is coming this week! New kindergarten families are welcome to join us at 6:00PM on Thursday, June 4. Parents and next year's kindergarten children are welcome! Welcome
Mark your calendar for Friday, August 28 at 10:30AM. All families are invited to our Open House so students can come to the school, meet their teachers and see their new classrooms!
