To the CJP Community,
Thank you to the families that were able to attend last Thursday evening’s Meet the Teacher event. Your presence made a significant impact and helped foster a strong sense of community within our school. Connecting with you and your children is helpful in creating a positive and supportive learning environment. Your engagement and support truly enhance our efforts to provide the best education possible. Please remember that our teachers are here for you, and we encourage you to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.
We also want to extend a special thank you to our school council for organizing the food trucks on site. Your efforts made the evening even more enjoyable.
Traffic Safety | Please Be a Good Neighbour
As traffic congestion becomes routine during school pick-up and drop-off, we encourage everyone to allow extra travel time and slow down in our school zone to keep our students and families safe.
We kindly ask that you take a moment to reflect on what it means to be a considerate neighbour during these busy times. If you’re dropping off your child outside the immediate school zone, please follow all traffic rules and signage, drive carefully, and avoid blocking driveways and roadways.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping to create a safer environment for our community!
Bus Rider Communication
For families with students who ride the bus, please inform the front office if your child will not be riding the bus on any given day. To ensure a smooth and timely departure, we request that you notify us by 3:00 pm. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
