#JaguarPride
Welcome back! We hope you had a restful and rejuvenating spring break. We were excited to see all of our JSS students and staff back on March 25, 2024. Now on the last leg of this 2023/24 school year. We have observed great leaps in student learning, social-emotional development and connections with others. We expect our students to finish the school year strong.
Student attendance has the greatest impact on student learning and success. Please help us out and ensure your child(ren) regularly attends school. Certainly, if they are ill or have an appointment, they will be marked excusably absent.
We look forward to the warm weather and puddles this spring. Please remember to send with your child their splash pants and rubber boots on warm days and snow pants and winter boots on cooler days. We want our students to enjoy their time outside during recess. Thank you to our JSS parents/guardians and staff who have gone above and beyond each day to ensure students are safe, cared for and have an optimal learning environment for all students.
Thank you to all our JSS parents/guardians and students who attended our Student Led Conferences on April 4, 2024.
As we continue to recognize students who say and do the right things, especially when no one is looking, we randomly pick two student Jaguar Cards (submitted into the “Caught in the Matrix” Jaguar Card Bin in the school office) each week to enjoy a free lunch (made possible by our local eatery/restaurant supporters). Those students have their picture taken and uploaded to the electronic bulletin board in our north entrance lobby. 139 JSS students received Jaguar Cards in September, 107 in October, another 224 in November, 120 students in December, 228 more in January, 121 in February and 61 in March … for a total of 1000 Jaguar Cards so far this school year. We are very proud of all our students living the school pledge each day. Stay tuned for our March totals and beyond.
Thank you to …
Our grade 5 Safety Patrollers who show up for early morning and afternoon duty.
Ms. Rak and Mrs. Raynard for coordinating our breakfast program.
The parents/guardians that continue to help out with our School (Parent) Council hot lunch program.
Community volunteers who continue to give of their time working with kids.
Parents/Guardians who have helped supervise field trips and assist in our classrooms this year.
