Welcome to the JLC Classroom!

About the Curriculum
Welcome to the 2018-19 school year. Below you will find a link which will introduce you to the curriculum that your child will be interacting with. Don't forget to check out the section dedicated to parents Enjoy!
Tools of the Mind
Getting Started
- A family photo that we can display in our classroom.
- Two complete sets of clothing (socks and underwear).
- If your child is potty training, we ask that you leave the pull ups at home and bring in extra clothing. Please bring in wipes labeled with your child's name on it. Wipes are only for children potty training because of limited space in our room for extra storage.
- A labeled open top bag (to go back and forth between home and school daily.) Please only send in a small back pack if preferred over an open top bag. We want to ensure your child's belongings all fit in their cubby.(bedding, bag, jackets)
- A set of sheets: 1 fitted and 1 flat. Pillows are discouraged, since we just do not have space to store them.
- Please don't forget to hand in any important paper work to our family worker Sarafina Fennelly.
- If you haven't done so already, please sign up for Brightwheel.
Please Keep in mind that toys from home are NOT permitted.
