We forecasted what life would be like 100 years from now. 

We rolled a die 100 times to see which number rolled up on top the most often. 

We created a quilt with a 100 Chart using letters in our names. 

We jumped up 100 times and touched our toes 100 times. 

We had fun learning about 100 in our lives!

The Week Ahead for Parents February 15 to 19

No Food for Sharing on Valentine's Day

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This note is to remind all parents and guardians that as Valentine’s Day approaches we want to ensure that we are engaging in best practices so that our students who have severe food allergies are safe at school.

Our best practice is to ensure that we are not bringing in food, candy, baked foods or snack foods for sharing with other students. 

This means that for tomorrow we will NOT be accepting any food product (this includes ALL candy) for distribution in the school. Any food received will be returned, unopened.

We ask all parents and guardians to continue to be vigilant in reading food label packaging to avoid products that come in to contact with peanuts and tree nuts.

Thank you for working with us to keep all of our students safe.

Spirit Day at JVPS

To all of our students, show your spirit at JVPS by wearing
RED, PINK or WHITE on Friday February 12.

Dressing for Winter Weather

During the winter months, it is very important for children to come to school appropriately dressed for snow, slush, wind chill and icy conditions. We encourage students to wear proper waterproof footwear, scarves, gloves and warm coats and snowpants. This is important for students of all ages for both safety and comfort. Students must plan and prepare for our winter weather!

Please discuss the importance of winter clothing and footwear with your child. An extra pair of socks and indoor shoes that fit are also important to keep feet warm and dry. As well, children must always be prepared to go outside for morning recess and lunch recess.

The school’s expectations are that students dress appropriately with all winter gear on BEFORE  going outside for recess,  as we want to reduce the number of  students coming back in to the building to find an article of clothing.

Only in severe conditions such as extreme cold, strong winds and snow storms, will outdoor activities be cancelled by the school Principal.

The Intermediate Girls' Basketball Team played an excellent game against Henderson Public School on Tuesday afternoon (February 9) here at Johnsview Village P.S. The girls fought hard and vastly improved, eventually to come out on top 
28-21.

We look forward to competing in the area tournament next Wednesday, February 17,  at Frechette Public School.  

Go Jaguars! 

Book Fair at Johnsview Village

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school from February 22^nd to February 26^th and you are invited to come and share in this celebration of literacy with us!

Now more than ever, reading is vital to leading a better life. It’s the door opener to the 21^st century for all children. Knowing how to read is just the beginning. Motivating young people to KEEP READING, comprehend what they read and develop the ability to think creatively are the end goals.

At the Book Fair you will find books to purchase that will help to motivate more reading. With your involvement, we can inspire children to practice reading and read more often. Together, we can make a difference in their lives that will last a lifetime. Your support of this vital literary event is a key part of helping us obtain new books and resources for our library and classrooms.

Don’t forget to visit the Classroom Wish List display when you visit the Fair. Take a moment to learn how purchasing books and donating them to your child’s classroom, or the library and how you can give readers even greater ACCESS to the books they want to read by expanding existing classroom libraries.

Visit the Scholastic Book Fairs website at www.scholastic.ca/bookfairs to read reviews of the Featured Books. You can also watch book trailers and author videos with your child on the Book Tube page.

Next week, your child will be bringing home a Book Fair flyer that provides a preview of only a FEW of the many books available to purchase at our Fair. Scan the QR code on the front of the flyer with the QR reader on your device to get more detailed information about these books. On February 22^nd students will have the opportunity to preview the books and create their wish lists, which they will be sharing with you at home.

The flyer also contains a special ballot that parents can deposit for a draw. Your child can win $50 in books – $25 for your family PLUS $25 for your child’s classroom!

Don’t forget to mark the Book Fair dates, February 22^nd to February 26^th, on your calendar! The Book Fair will be open at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and after school until 4:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you during our Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary event and our school.

Calendar on the School Website

Please note that the calendar feature on our school website for Johnsview Village Public School is now operational.  

Parents and guardians can check the calendar on the website for all activities and holidays that will be taking place at the school throughout the year.

Thank You from Yellow Brick House

The Executive Director from Yellow Brick House would like to sincerely thank all the staff, students and Johnsview Village families for the generous donations of winter clothing.

With special partners such as Johnsview Village Public School, the Yellow Brick House is able to maintain and improve their services which provide the opportunity for women and children to help rebuild their lives. 

Happy Lunar New Year

We would like to wish all of our families who celebrate the Lunar New Year a wonderful year full of good luck, prosperity and health.
