We are so excited to welcome back our returning students and families and to welcome students and families who are new to our community.  Welcome to Ethel M Johnson everyone! The beginning of the school year always brings new adventures and opportunities.  We look forward to sharing them with you. 
 The staff at Ethel M Johnson have been busy preparing for this school year and we have enjoyed a very smooth start.  
Over the next few weeks, our teaching staff wil be reviewing and analyzing  a variety of school data that was administered  during the 22/23 school year. Our school data sets include student surveys, The Assurance Survery, Provincial Achievement Test results, early learning assessments and report card data).  The analysis of these data sets help inforrm the school's direction and goal setting for the upcoming school year and guides our work in School Development Planning.  More information about EMJ's School Development Plan will be shared with families in the upcoming weeks.  
September is shaping up to be a busy and exciting month at EMJ.  Details about a Welcome Back Pancake Breakfast will be coming to you shortly.  This is a School Council sponsored event and we hope all our families will be able to attend.  Other events such as Meet the Teacher Evening, the annual Terry Fox Run, Truth and Reconciliation day events and more are some of the school wide events that are coming up in the next few weeks.  
We hope you and your children are settling in to the back to school routine and are enjoying the first few weeks of this new school year.  
With so many possibilities for learning and growing together, I am certain it is going to be an amazing year!​
