As a parent/guardian of a child attending Janet Johnstone School, you are automatically a member of the School Council (JJSC). The Council consists of parents, teachers and community members who are eager to help guide and provide meaningful feedback on our children’s educational experiences, both in the school and on the school grounds and to make suggestions for how to make our children’s school experience the best it can be.
We also work alongside the Friends of Janet Johnstone School Association (FJJSA), which is the incorporated non-profit society responsible for fundraising. One of our responsibilities is to advise the school on how to allocate these fundraising dollars. Our goal is to enhance our children’s learning experiences and opportunities they would otherwise not be able to receive. We work together with the school administration to discuss purchases to be sure we are spending the fundraising dollars wisely.
Meeting Dates/Schedule
To help plan ahead, mark your calendars! Meetings are always the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. All meetings for the 2022/24 school year will be held at the school with an online link for those that can't attend in person. Please watch the weekly Week at a Glance for information about the meetings.
Please note: baby sitting will be provided free of charge.
