Welcome to St. John Brebeuf School
MISSION STATEMENT Our mission is to co-operate with parish families to help children become creative Christians in the world. Drawing on the resources of the Catholic Church, the professional competency of the staff, and the strength and love of the family, we educate children in spirit, mind and body.
Come and Join Us! Applying for our 2010-2011 Full Time Kindergarten program? Don't forget to submit your application for the 2010-2011 school year by March 15, 2010 to reserve your space. +++ "Safety Over Convenience" The Winnipeg Police Service reminds all SJB Parents of the importance of following safe pick-up and drop-off protocol for all students. Please watch for a letter from Constable Henry Burzynski, coming home this week, or click here to view the letter. Please also be reminded that parents are not to use the back lanes adjacent to the school yard for drop-off and pick-up due to safety concerns of our neighbouring residents. +++ WANTED Two (or more) parents to assist with monitoring of the St. John Brebeuf School Dropoff and Pickup Zone. Over
the course of the last year, St. John Brebeuf School, in conjunction with the
Winnipeg Police Service, has put into place a program to monitor and improve
the traffic situation in the area of the drop-off and pick up zones adjacent to
the school. The underlying rationale of the program, as clearly set out
in the notice to parents included in the Student Handbook and in handouts sent
subsequently to parents, is the safety of the children. We
are now at a point where the program appears to be showing results and the
double parking, which has been identified as the single most dangerous
practice, has with continuous monitoring, been practically eliminated. In
order to maintain this situation, we are in need of one and preferably two or
more parents who can be on hand for two or three days a week in the afternoon
to monitor the pickup period which runs from approximately 3:15 to 3:30
p.m. Anyone interested in assisting with the morning drop-off period would
also be welcome. However, maintaining a presence for the afternoon pickup period
is the real need at present. A
very straightforward overview of procedures will be provided for those parents
volunteering for this important duty. The current monitor will coordinate
the availability of parents and oversee the continued overall operation of the
program. We
urge you to seriously consider volunteering for this activity intended to
safeguard our (and your) children. Parents
interested in volunteering for this minimal time commitment are asked to
contact the school office at 489-2115 ext 241 or email carreiro@sjbcommunity.ca
Thank you for your consideration. Currently, our school is reporting a normal rate of absenteeism. When a report of unusual absenteeism is received, the school contacts public health for expert advice and direction. Public health will tell the school if any changes need to be made to reduce the spread of infection, and the school will inform parents of these recommended changes. It is important to note that absenteeism reports may not be because of the flu. Absenteeism may be related to other medical or non-medical reasons.
