You are invited to come to the school for Meet the Teacher this Thursday, September 26th (tomorrow!), from 4:30-6:00 pm. The purpose of this event is for you and your family to come to the school and have your child(ren) tour you through their school, their class and to introduce you to their teachers in an informal setting. Please drop by my classroom (Rm. 216) for a visit! Just a reminder that if you wish to speak to me about your child’s learning needs, we can certainly arrange for a separate meeting on another day. Teachers will not be available to have private meetings with parents during Meet the Teacher night.

Hope to see you and your family tomorrow!

Dear Families,

On Wednesday October 2nd W. Erskine Johnston PS  is celebrating walking and wheeling (and busing) to school as part of International Walk to School Month.

International Walk to School Month (IWALK) is an annual mass celebration of active transportation taking place around the world every October. Hundreds of Ontario schools participate in IWALK each year, with many holding their events on IWALK Day, the first Wednesday of October.

If you live within the Walk Zone, why not find some friends who live near-by, set a meeting place (parks are best) and walk to school together?  OSTA provides walking maps with best routes and locations of school crossing guards. You can also consider parking a few blocks from school and walking the last few minutes to school through the parks.

We hope you will join us in the celebration and create fun, healthy routines!
