Children are our future. We
are dedicated to their success.
We will prepare our students
to become independent learners with the desires, the skills, and the abilities
necessary for lifelong learning. This will require creating a learning
environment that is centered around students, directed by teachers, and supported
by home and community.
I
am pleased to welcome students, parents and staff to another exciting year at
Jaffray School. As Principal, I look forward to helping make the school year a
great one. We have a great team that is dedicated to providing quality learning
experiences for all of our students in a safe, caring, friendly, supportive,
and inclusive environment.
It
is important for all of us to work together in your child’s education. I
believe regular communication is critical between parents and their children and
between parents and the child’s teacher in order to support the child’s
learning. Building a positive working
relationship with all the concerned parties will help the child develop a
positive attitude toward learning and the school. I highly recommend parents
get involved in the school. Some ways to get involved are by joining PAC, helping out with
One-to-One Reading, going on field trips, helping coach, to name a few. If you
have a few hours to help out the school, please feel welcome to come in and
make the school a better place for your child.
School personnel will do their best to keep parents
informed of what is happening at Jaffray Elementary Junior Secondary during the
year. There will be weekly school
newsletters issued every Monday by email and are also available on our school website.
If parents have questions or concerns please do not
hesitate to phone the school at (250) 429-3211 or email me, erin.boehm@sd5.bc.ca. If parents
wish an interview with a teacher, counsellor, or administrator please phone and
request that the secretary arrange a convenient time.
