Welcome Back to Janet Lee School!

Welcome Back to Janet Lee School!
The future of the world is in our classrooms!

The back to school season is upon us! To welcome returning families, and help orient new families, this post will provide information to assist you. We hope you have enjoyed the summer!
Whether you are new to Janet Lee or a returning family, our hope is that the year ahead will be a rewarding, positive experience for everyone. Our commitment toward working with, understanding, and nurturing each and every child are some of the many reasons why Janet Lee School is such a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.

Office Hours-Week of August 26th – August 30th
The office will be open 9:00am-2:00pm. If you are aware of any new families with children that have moved into the neighbourhood over the summer, please encourage them to come in and register!

First Day Procedures-Tuesday Sept. 3, 2019
First Day Information for Grades 1-8
All students in grades 1-8 will proceed to the back playground on the first day and will be greeted by staff when the bell rings at 8:10. Look for staff with signs in order to line up in the appropriate spots.
Students new to Janet Lee who are not sure who their teacher is are asked to drop into the main office first and then proceed to the playground to find their teacher.
There is usually a great deal of excitement on the first day which can lead to a bit of chaos. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work through this process. Please ensure that children clearly understand the end of the day arrangements for getting home.

Information for JK/SK Students
All JK’s and new SK’s have a one hour visit on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd. This gives staff the opportunity to meet you and your child. The postcards outlining each child’s teacher and visit time were mailed at the end of June. Please follow the information provided to you on your postcard. If you are unsure of your visit time, please call the office. On Wednesday, Sept. 4th ALL students (both JK and SK) attend school full time, every day.
