#JaguarPride

We hope you had a restful and rejuvenating spring break. Welcome back! We were excited to see all of our JSS students and staff back on April 3, 2023. We are now on the last leg of this 2022/23 school year. We have observed great leaps in student learning, social-emotional learning and connections with each other. Our students have the foundation to finish the school year off strong.

Students will soon be experiencing spring and year end field trips, and our Grade 2 and 4 students will enjoy swimming lessons before the end of this school year.

Thank you to all our JSS parents/guardians who attended our Student Led Conference on March 21 (T/Th Kindergarten) and 22 (pre-Kindergarten, M/W Kindergarten and Grade 1 to 5). JSS will be sending home Grade 1 to 5 Report Cards for Term 3 on April 28. Please keep your eye out for that.

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. Each Jaguar Card remains in the bin for the entire month, then we start over with an empty bin the next month. 198 JSS students received Jaguar Cards in September, 262 in October, another 102 in November, 96 students in December, 204 more in January, 68 in February and 207 more in March…for a total of 1137 Jaguar Cards this school year. We are very proud of all our students living the school pledge each day. Stay tuned for our April totals and beyond.

Thank you to …

• Our Grade 5 Safety Patrollers for showing up for early morning and afternoon duty.

• Mrs. Rak and Mrs. Raynard for coordinating our breakfast program.

• The parents/guardians for helping out with our School (Parent) Council hot lunch program.

• Parents/Guardians for supervising field trips and assisting in our classrooms this year.
