Dear Families,

Thank you to the parent/guardian volunteers who attended Stampede School with some of our grade 3/4 SJ students this week. It was a great learning experience for the students. Thank you to the Stanley Jones Fundraising Association for covering the cost, ensuring this opportunity was accessible for all students.

School Council: The Learning Grounds Committee has kicked off their Winter Turkey Fundraiser with Indeygo. All proceeds will go toward our school’s Learning Grounds Project to help create more great outdoor spaces for students. Email sj.learning.grounds@gmail.com if you would like more information.

Lifetouch School Pictures: Your child’s school pictures are now available. To view them online, please log in to your account at mylifetouch.ca. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one using your email address. You’ll need your student’s ID number to locate their photos. Paper proofs containing your login credentials will be sent to your home shortly, allowing you to view the images online. Bonus: All families can also order a FREE digital Pictures2Protect Card—a great way to keep your child’s photo and emergency info handy. Learn more about the Pictures2Protect program here.

Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences: Our first round of Conferences is November 27-28. We encourage all families to book a time to meet with their child’s teachers. Please contact the office if you need assistance booking a conference.
