EJPS Week at a Glance (March 24-28)

Chers Parents, 

I hope everyone had a pleasant March Break and are enjoying some of the nice Spring weather! This week’s message will be a quick one. The return to learning is going well and there will be many exciting activities and learning opportunities over the next three months. We will share information as quickly as possible as these events are being planned and finalized. For example, we are still finalizing which weeks will be set aside for Gr 3 and 6 EQAO testing in the May-June window. Stay tuned!

In other news, we are happy to announce yet another very successful Dance-A-Thon. As a school community we raised $7,689 which is very similar to last year’s achievement. Thank you for all of your efforts! Our top student fundraisers were found in Mme Hills’ class and the entire class will be rewarded with a SUPER DUPER PIZZA PARTY. Again, thank you for your support and to our parent volunteers. 

Last, a few safety reminders:

  • Please do not use the school parking lot between 8:15 AM to 9 AM and from 2:45 PM to 3:15 PM. We have many students and parents walking and biking around the premises at these times who we need to keep safe from busy traffic.

  • Please ensure students and parents leave the school property at 3:05 PM each day as that is the time that supervision ends. There are many nearby parks for students to enjoy and continue their play.

  • We aim to officially open the climbers on April 1st. We do not allow students to play on the climbers at any time when they are wet from the rain or frozen from the cold as they are a slip hazard.
