Junior School - April 18, 2024

UPCOMING EVENTS

What you need to know

  • Class placement survey email will go out to parents on April 29, 2024. The aim of this survey is for parents to share with us, based on conversations with their children, names of three students that will be a good pairing for the upcoming school year. This will inform our class placement process.

  • The Junior School Celebration of Learning is an opportunity for Grades 1-4 families to see learning in action. Your child will guide you through their learning in their subject areas including Unit of Inquiry, Language, Math and French. We will also be showcasing the artwork in a Junior School Art Gallery.

STUDENT LIFE & BELONGING

JUNIOR SCHOOL ECO WEEK -
MONDAY, APRIL 22 - FRIDAY, APRIL 26

Our Junior School Community Service Club is leading our Eco Week initiatives to raise awareness about how we can all be more environmentally friendly and protect our planet. 

Please note that there are three casual days this week. 

  • Monday, April 22 - Green and blue clothing to represent the planet we call home and to remind us all that we are caretakers of the Earth. 

  • Wednesday, April 24 - House Colours for our Eco Week House Meetings 

  • Friday, April 26 - Children’s Choice for our regularly scheduled  last Friday of the Month Casual Day

GRADE 5 GRAD SWEATSHIRTS

Each year, the Grade 5 class has been invited to purchase a special sweatshirt featuring their graduating year from the Junior School and the names of all their classmates. Please remember the purchase of this keepsake is completely optional.

The Grade 5 Class will vote this Friday, April 19 from 12 different designs and the attached ordering form will be updated with an image of the final design. 

  • The sweatshirt will be a black cotton hoodie with the small York School logo on the front left side and on the back will be the student selected logo with their names'.

  • The school has confirmed that the sweatshirt will be able to be worn as a uniform piece next year in Middle School. (Tip: It might be best to size up for wear next year!) 

  • The cost of these sweatshirts will range between $45 - $65 and will be charged to student accounts. We will not have an exact price from the vendor until the final design is chosen. We will update families on the exact price once we receive a quote.

The Grad Sweatshirt Order Form 2024 will need to be completed by Monday, April 29 at 5:00pm to purchase a sweatshirt for your child. We are hoping to place the full order with the vendor by Wednesday, May 1 to be sure that the sweatshirts arrive in time for the Grade 5 Celebration.

Thank you,
Ms. Charley & The Grade 5 Celebration Committee
