Dear Junior School Parents,

I came across this quote today, that I wanted to share with you:

“Some Good Old Fashioned Fresh Air and Sunshine Are Hard to Beat!”

Laura Ingalls Wilder

As we head into the weekend, I wish you both in abundance.

Please take a moment to read this week’s edition of the JS Blog carefully, as it contains important information regarding the weeks to come.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy weekend ahead.

Sincerely,

Kate White

Toronto Public Health Update

Please see this update from Toronto Public Health regarding immunization clinics.

Please see the updated major dates calendar that reflects the newly-added Professional Development Days on May 7 and May 21. As we continue to navigate this prolonged remote learning period it is important to give teaching faculty time to review and adjust programming to ensure they are able to continue to deliver an exceptional academic program. As well, it is our hope that students will benefit from the opportunity to pause and step away from their screens.

These activities invite House spirit, artistic exploration, exercise, skill-building, and connection with peers outside of the classroom.
