John Muir Weekly January 30

Dear Families,

Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) plays an important role in enriching our students’ learning and school experiences. Through their ongoing fundraising efforts, generous volunteering, and organization of school supplies and resources, PAC helps support programs, activities, and opportunities that benefit all students. Their dedication and collaboration make a meaningful difference in our school community. To continue this important work, PAC is always in need of volunteers, and we encourage families to get involved in any way they can – every contribution of time or support truly matters.

Our school was fortunate to have a visit from Chris Daw – Paralympic Gold Medalist this afternoon. Chris shared his extensive experience in sports from curling to rugby to volleyball. Students had the opportunity to hold real gold medals as well as an Olympic torch from the Vancouver 2010 Games.

 

We encourage parents to reach out to their child’s classroom teacher as the first point of contact when questions or concerns arise. Teachers work closely with students each day and are best positioned to provide timely information, context, and support. Open communication at this level often leads to quick and effective solutions and helps strengthen the partnership between home and school. When needed, the principal is always available to support further conversations.

 

Just a gentle reminder that the loop route in the lower parking lot is not to be used for parking except in the designated parking spaces. The loop route is for drop off and pick up only. Please help us to keep the traffic flowing during morning and afternoon drop off and pick up. Thanks so much for your support.
