"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.

H1N1 Update

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.
