John Muir Weekly March 7

Dear Families,

As we approach the end of the second term, our teachers have been working diligently to assess students’ progress and complete report cards. This is an important time to reflect on the hard work and achievements of our students. We encourage parents to take some time over the break to sit down with your children, review their report cards and celebrate their successes this term. Your support and encouragement play a vital role in your children’s learning journey. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to an exciting final term!

On Wednesday, March 12, Ms. Rasheeda will be publishing report cards to MyEd for families to access. Should you have any difficulties accessing MyEd, please contact Ms. Rasheeda in the office.

Our next Scholastic Book Fair will be happening on April 8, 9, and 10. Families can access the book fair before and after school and during learning tours. Ms. Merx will be looking for volunteers to help run the book fair. Closer to the dates, Ms. Merx will be sending out a link to sign-up.

We have several items in our lost and found collection. The lost and found will be placed outside by the main entrance at the end of the day on March 7 and March 14. Any items not collected will be donated.

This week, parents of Grade 4 students received the information about the Grade 4 Student Learning Survey. The survey will be administered at school for Grade 4 students. Parents, guardians and caregivers of Grade 4 students are also encouraged to participate in the survey as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement. The survey contains standard questions for the Province – in addition, questions from the school and/or district that focus on local conditions or issues may be included.

 The survey can be completed electronically and can be accessed on the Internet at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/student-learning-survey.

 The e-survey site will be open until May 2, 2025.
