EJPS Week at a Glance (April 8 – 12)
EJPS Week at a Glance (April 8 – 12)
Chers parents,
You’ll see in the important dates below that the school calendar of events is filling up. Can you believe that we have 12 weeks of school remaining? Let’s make every day count!
Here is another 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!
