I would like to take a moment to share my reflections on this first part of the 2020-21 school year with you. As a community, you have always placed a lot of trust in us to care for and educate your children. As a parent myself, I know how much more you have been depending on us this school year to best serve your children in the context of a pandemic. We do not take this responsibility lightly and we rely on the relationship between home and school for students to be successful.
Thank you for being such a generous community, not only with donations for those in need at JSM but with your kind words of encouragement and support for our staff as we navigate countless changes to our practice of teaching.
Our school's current level of morale remains very positive and it comes not only from our camaraderie as a staff and the culture we have created in our building, but also is encouraged by the positivity and willingness to accept change as modeled by your children. They have shown a level of resilience and energy that is contagious for the adults. Thank you for the hard work you do at home in supporting their mental health as your families have had to navigate longer absences from school and increased accountability in meeting provincial guidelines around attendance.
We are all looking forward to a restful Break and our staff wish all of you the best as we end this calendar year. We will see you in the New Year – stay healthy!
Happy Holidays to all.
