June 2024
FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Dear SJF Jr. Community,
June arrives and announces the end of the school year. I can't believe it! Time has passed so quickly since I was appointed school Principal last January. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm welcome. I am extremely proud to serve such a fantastic community like SJF. We are a beautiful, united, close-knit, strong family.
If you are leaving us, I wish you all the best for your child's educational journey. It was a pleasure having you with us.
I wish you all a wonderful summer.
Looking forward to seeing you in August,
Best regards,
Eve-Marie Durand
Principal/directrice

SEED and Lunch news
Wishing all our families a fabulous summer break and can’t wait to see you in the new school year!
The last statements of account will be sent out during the first week of June.
Please note S.E.E.D users with outstanding balances risk not being accepted into the program next year. S.E.E.D users must have an account in good standing to attend the Ped Days.
Your failure to pay creates a serious financial difficulty for the lunch/ S.E.E.D program. The lunch/ S.E.E.D program is a self-financing program. It is the legal responsibility of each parent to pay the lunch fee for their child /children. Failure to have accounts in good standing risk losing different services and sent to collection.
We ask that all accounts are settled and paid in full by June 20th,2024. Any accounts with outstanding balances will be sent to collections.
Registration for K4 and K5 has begun and was sent to you by email. Please fill out the forms and return them to me by June 5th. Grade 1 and grade 2 will need to register on the Mozaik portal by June 5th.
Our last Ped Day will be June 3rd, 2024, we are having a Carnival Day at school.
The deadline for registrations has passed and the Ped Day is now closed.

Have a fantastic rest of June, and a happy safe summer holiday!
