Spring has sprung here at PJ!  The weather is warming up and we continue to remind all families to ensure their children are coming to school dressed for the potentially wet weather.  Encouraging your child to check the weather patterns before coming to school is highly recommended.  Please stay updated by checking in with email updates from  the classroom teacher, as well as, Mr. Gilmore's  weekly Principal's Message.

Personal Items

Please label all personal items. Students are encouraged to have indoor shoes especially to be prepared for physical education classes, and to keep the school clean and tidy. Bring a reusable water bottle every day. Valuable items (such as electronic devices) are to be kept at home. Primary students are encouraged to bring an extra set of clothing which can be kept in their backpack. 

Lunch

Students are organized into 2 groups that have 30-minute lunch period in our South gym and 30-minute lunch recess.  Students have the option to go home for lunch, if a family member picks them up at 11:30 am and drops them back off at school at 12:30 pm. For students who need to remain at school, a litterless lunch is strongly encouraged (using reusable containers). 

Student Drop off and Pick up

Please note Entry and Dismissal times. Inform the school when your child will be late or absent. TDSB Safe Arrival policy requires a phone call home for students who are late or absent unless the school has been notified. The automated phone system will contact home until verification has been made to explain the absence.
