John Muir Weekly March 14

Dear Families,

As the second term comes to a close, we reflect on what has been a fantastic period of learning and growth. Students have shown progress in their learning and have engaged enthusiastically with new concepts and challenges. We are proud of their hard work and the support from our staff and families that has made this term such a success.

From all the staff at John Muir, we wish you a restful and fun spring break! We look forward to seeing students back at school on March 31.

Please find attached a poster for a job fair put on my WorkBC on March 20 from 1pm -5pm at EMCS.  This is a Sooke specific job fair and SD62 will be there.

 Sooke Sing Out

On Tuesday, our choir participated in the Sooke Sing Out. It was an amazing evening, and our students represented John Muir well. A big thank you to Ms. Bueckert for preparing and leading the choir. Thanks to parents who came out to watch.

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.

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.
