With a winter storm and snowfall warning forecast overnight, we want to remind families how inclement weather impacts school operations. When school bus transpo...rtation is cancelled by Tri-Board Student Transportation due to poor weather or road conditions, Limestone schools remain open. When buses are cancelled in the morning, they are cancelled for the entire day. Due to COVID-19 protocols, class cohorts will not be blended. Students will remain in their assigned classroom or will be moved into a larger space and kept apart from students in other classes. Students who must remain home due to a lack of transportation to school may participate in asynchronous learning from home. Classroom teachers will provide students with direction and assignment of asynchronous work, likely through the class’s online learning management system. If your student is staying home due to a bus cancellation, or due to inclement weather conditions, please use the Board's SafeArrival absence reporting tool to report their absence: either inclement weather (walkers), or bus cancellation. Tri-Board and the school board report decisions to cancel buses around 5:30/6 a.m. Decisions sometimes happen quickly and can be different across the district based on different circumstances or conditions. This may include a decision after 5:30/6 a.m. based on changing or worsening weather and/or road conditions. Tri-Board and the school boards makes their decisions with the best information available at the time. The guiding principle in making these decisions is always the safety of students, staff and volunteers working at our schools and centres.

Reminder that Monday is Family Day and schools are closed. Enjoy the long weekend with your families. Stay safe. Stay local.

Thank you for supporting our school.

Just a couple reminders for those Jayhawks getting ready to return to in-class learning tomorrow. For anyone that borrowed a device/hot spot, and was unable to return it on Friday, please bring it on Monday. Remember to bring your indoor shoes, as well as a sweatshirt/sweater, in case the windows need to be opened for ventilation, and for outdoor learning/play. ... Finally, for anyone that hasn’t had a chance to read the week ahead yet...Monday is SCHOOL SPIRIT DAY! It's PJ DAY, because I'm sure some of us need a soft landing to returning to school! Please no stuffies/toys.

We hope all Jayhawks are as excited as the JPS teachers to be going back to school on Monday? https://youtu.be/BAQSKkBX5n8

Just a reminder...the 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Spirit Weeks start tomorrow!

***** LOST ***** One of our students lost their hat earlier this week, and has not been able to find it. If you happen to remember seeing it somewhere, or happen to find it, please return it to your teacher. The family would really appreciate the help locating it. ... Thank you!
