EJPS Week at a Glance (April 1 – 5)
EJPS Week at a Glance (April 1 – 5)
Chers parents,
Spring is in the air! We have many exciting things to look forward to. For instance, after I perform my yearly spring playground inspection of the climbers it is highly likely that our students will be able to enjoy playing on these structures once again as of next Tuesday. With that being said, this is also a good time to review some rules and safety measures with the activities associated with the change of season.
On the climbers, please remind your children about the following rules. These will be repeated on the announcements next week:
- No pushing
- Slides are for sliding down
- One person on the slide at a time
- Keep your eyes open (no grounders)
- Do not jump off platforms.
- Use the equipment as intended
- Share time on the swings
- Do not cross through the swings while they are in use
- Do not accept a dare or challenge others to perform a dare (Truth or Dare)
Since we are discussing some rules, here are few more regarding items coming from home to school that require parental support:
- Do not bring toys, electronic gadgets, or other distractions from home to school
- Do not bring Pokemon or other trading cards to school
- Do not bring baseballs, softballs, or hard bats to school
- Nerf bats or light-weight foam bats are acceptable
- Tennis balls are a good substitute for baseballs
Lastly, a friendly reminder about dogs on school property:
When dropping off or picking up children, dogs must be on a leash and kept on the sidewalk off school property. This is the expectation for all Upper Grand District School Board parents/families. Some students have allergies to animal hair/dander or have a fear of dogs. There is also potential for people to be scratched, tripped, jumped on or bitten. Dog walking is not allowed on school property during the school day.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Some notes from Mme McLeod in the office:
Mitten & Hat Lost and Found Display – April 2-April12
Our GIANT collection of lost Mittens, Gloves and Hats will all be on display for the next 2 weeks. Please take some time to come and collect your students’ lost gear. After April 12th all items will be donated.
Snacks & Lunches
Spring has sprung…and the students seem to really be growing too 🙂. Please try and pack an extra item or two in your students lunch.
Lastly, we wish our christian families a blessed Good Friday blessings and a happy Easter Monday.
Enjoy your extra long-weekend,
Olivier Cutz (Principal)
