JPS Week Ahead
February 3 - 7
GLOBAL PLAY DAY
Wednesday will be Global Play Day. Students will be allowed to bring in toys with which to play for the whole day. The purpose of the day is to bring back full day unstructured play.
Students can bring anything they wish to play with to school on Wednesday, February 5, 2020. The only restrictions: they must bring toys and these toys may NOT require batteries or electricity. No devices. Some examples are board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, racetracks, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, jigsaw puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.) The only exception on the electronics rule would be a board game that has an electronic timer, an electronics play kit, or similar.

New Administrative Procedure 325 - Exemption From Human Development and Sexual Health Instruction
Teachers need to send home a LDSB form prior to doing your Human Development unit. Parents will have the option of exempting their child. I'll put the list of expectations in the parent newsletter after March Break. Please let me know if you are doing HD & SH before that time.
Thanks!
Indigo!
Dawn will give e-gift card numbers to each teacher. You need to have this when ordering (on-line) and/or purchasing at the store. These will also give you 30% off I believe. Please only spent the $850. The rest of the money will go toward other resources.
