Cultivating Critical and Creative Thinking in Responsive Learning Environments
As I visit classrooms, I continue to be impressed with the level of student engagement and effort in learning activities. I hear students asking great questions, sharing ideas and building on the ideas of others. I see students taking risks to try new things, practising skills, using feedback to improve, and proudly reflecting on progress! Our new director, Debra Rantz, came for a visit last week and was also very impressed with the exciting learning happening at JPS!
If you would like to get a glimpse into what has been happening at school, check out the link below to see a storify of our school tweets!
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to share, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Heather Campbell,
Principal

Reminders
- If you have not already, and would like to, please send a $5 contribution for your child's agenda - a valuable home-school communication tool!
- Morning supervision starts at 8:50. Please do not drop your child off before this time unless there is a scheduled practice or club.
- If you need to change dismissal plans for your child, please contact the office by 3:00. This gives us time to get the message to your child.
