Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a great night! Here are a few pics from our long weekend. I meant to post yesterday!






Just a reminder to dress according to the ever-changing weather!

We have begun uniform checks again! These will happen every now and again to ensure that all SJA students are wearing proper uniform. Uniform pieces must be bought through Apla and Multiform Canada. Uniform violations will be sent home if a student is not wearing the proper piece of clothing! First violation: a warning to parents. Second violation: the office will notify a parent and the correct uniform piece must be brought to the school the same day. Third violation: uniform piece will be sent home at parent’s expense. Fourth violation: community service hours will be assigned. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

The last day of school, Friday, June 10 will now be a full day with Kiss n Ride beginning at 3:30 and after care running from 3:45-6.

Please be aware of our new Kiss n Ride and after school pick up procedure! We thank you for your patience as we work out our kinks! Please review the email below:

Dear SJA Families,

We are excited to announce the newest addition to the SJA campus- a full soccer field! Once completed, the students at SJA will be able to use this field as part of their PE classes, and as an integral part of our extra-curricular program. 

The soccer field is being constructed in a section of the SJA parking lot. This creates a need to modify the Kiss-and-Ride system, as the route previously used is now occupied by the soccer field turf.

Beginning today, May 17th, the 'exit' lane of the parking lot will be split into two lanes, with cars passing in and out. The entrance to the parking lot will also be modified. These areas will be clearly marked with pylons, and staff will be on hand to provide assistance to cars entering and exiting the Kiss-and-Ride. 

Parent/Guardians not looking to join the Kiss-and-Ride system are encouraged to use the Meadowvale 4 Rinks parking lot to park their cars. The parking lot will be very busy during Kiss-and-Ride times (3:30- 3:40), though parking spaces will be available if desired. The front door will be unlocked right at 3:30pm to allow parents who have parked to have access to the school to pick up their children.

We thank you for your patience while we work on perfecting this new system. Please let us know if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

MATH
This morning was our unit test. I will mark and send home as soon as I can!

LANGUAGE
Today we had another Art’s Night rehearsal. We have come so far and it is wonderful to see the student’s confidence growing with each practice. We also did a fun booklet activity, which contained math and language activities.

UOI
Today we talked about what parts of a plant we can eat and we copied down parts of a plant and a small description of what each part does.

Thank you to Mme. Stella and Mme. Hou for holding down the fort.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Stay cool!!


Mrs. Hocevar J
