***** ALL students in Grades 1-8 will be REQUIRED to use the OFFICIAL SJS Student Assignment Planner which will be provided for each student during the first week of school.

We recommend that sneakers (flat sole) rather than running shoes (ripple tread) be worn for gym classes. Running shoes worn indoors put an unsafe stress on ankles and legs, plus track in mud etc.

Cloth book covers are NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE as they do not provide adequate protection for our textbook investment.

 

GRADE 4 - June - the Final Frontier

What a pleasure it was to teach your children this year. They have grown up so much! Since the children are the last class of my teaching career, I hold a special place for them in my heart. Thank you for the privilege of instructing them every day. I know they will be very successful in the coming years.

Have a wonderful summer, enjoy nature, say your prayers, and be kind to eachother.
