START TIME IMPORTANT NOTICE
A reminder to parents that classes begin at 8:00 am every day! Arrival
after that time means that classes are being interrupted and activities are
being delayed. PLEASE RESPECT THE MORNING BELL.
April is upon us
There are only twelve weeks left until the end of the school year!
This time of year it is important to Stick to Routines – make home life as predictable as possible by continuing
the same routines that have kept your household running through the winter months. For example… maintain
bedtimes and expect all chores will still be done. When family life stays on an even keel LEARNING can remain
the central focus. HOME READING
So often parents ask what they can do to help their children at home. Reading with children at home and
encouraging them to read on their own each evening is HUGE in a child’s literacy development. Reading to
your child is as important as listening to your child read.
Parent Teacher
If you missed your parent teacher appointment, please call the school to speak to your child’s teacher regarding
school progress. A reminder that parents can log into PowerSchool and check on students as well. If you do not
remember your login information please do not hesitate to contact the school.

FROM THE DESK OF LEANA
KENNEDY
Spring is finally on its way!!!! There are lots of
exciting things going on this month at TJHS
News from the TJHS gym…
Gr.6/7 Intramural Basketball Champions were
crowned recently. The Fever defeated the Bulls to
claim the title. Celeste Sylliboy scored the gamewinning basket in overtime to seal the victory for the
Fever.
The Varsity and Junior Varsity girls and boys
basketball teams recently wrapped up successful
seasons. Final results were..
Varsity Boys= District & Regional Champions
Varsity Girls= lost out in District semi-finals
JV Boys= lost the bronze medal game in the Tier 2
division
JV Girls= finished 3rd in Tier 2
Gr.6/7 Intramural Floorball League play opened in
April. The 6 team league plays every day at lunch.
Determination
All TJHS students were taught the “Electric Slide”.
There will be a “flash mob” performing the dance at
the Rally Against Racism this year
In Grade 7 English Language Arts, we are working on
our last official unit, focusing on compassion and
gratitude. Students are exploring the concepts of
compassion and gratitude and keeping gratitude
journals to reflect on things in their lives that they
appreciate. We will watch the documentary A Dollar
a Day and incorporate essay writing in a review of
the film. We will finish the unit with a novel study of
Iqbal, the true story of a Pakistani boy sold into child
slavery by his parents. As part of this novel study, we
will hold a Pakistani feast. If you want to participate
by helping out with kitchen supervision, please let
me know! Many hands make light work!
Michelle Gillis
In Grade 7 Science, students are learning about
temperature and heat. They are completing work
sheets in class and there will be a test on those
handouts
Page 9
In Grade 7 Math, students are completing a Geometry unit. Here are a couple interactive websites for them to
practice their Geometry:
Math Frog http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/geometry/shapeshoot/TranslateShapesShoot.htm
18 Level Challenge
http://www.mathplayground.com/ShapeMods/ShapeMods.html
In Grade 7 Social Studies, we are working on Unit Three: Political Empowerment, students have been given time
in class to work on the structure of government and the leaders roles. This sheet is important for the upcoming
test and if students are struggling with it please feel free to come see Ms. Gillis or me for help.
In all classes and grade levels, teachers are finding that the majority of students are not coming to school
prepared. Students have no pencils, pens, loose leaf, binders, class work, etc. We have been providing supplies
and additional sheets but we need to encourage students to be more responsible, accountable and independent.
Students will work hard an entire period on something than stuff it in their bag and it is never seen again.
Teachers have bins, duotangs and binders in class for students to leave their work but students will not and
therefore their grade reflects that they cannot or have not done the work. In reality, they have often completed it
and would have done really well if they handed it in. Another issue teachers and students are facing is that
some students are missing a lot of time and not taking responsibility for work that is missed. This puts students
behind and creates gaps in their learning. Each year and unit builds on the next and it is important for students
to attend school and if absent, get what they have missed. The teachers and I are here to help students and
parents in whatever way we can, but we need to encourage our students to come for help.
One great experience this month was the Girls Empowerment conference. The TJHS student services teacher,
Mrs. Gaudet and I took 15 girls to the RECC center April 23rd. There were informative workshops, inspirational
speakers, presentations, supper and the girls got to rock climb, swim or participate in a fitness class. Thank you
girls for participating, I had a blast!!!
Wela’lin – Leana Kennedy
FROM THE DESK OF TOM WILSON
Parents please check to make sure your child has a calculator. I am constantly lending them out so there are
students who do not have them, students cannot do their math tests and assignments without one.
Parents should be aware that most grade 8 and 9 students have Math homework most days.
Well SPRING has finally SPRUNG!!! Students should be reminded that even though there are only 2 months of
school left they are the MOST IMPORTANT 2 months for a few students that are “just passing” or failing a
subject.
Over the past 20 years I have seen HUNDREDS of students work really hard in May and June. This extra effort
had a great Impact on how well they met their 3rd Term Learning Outcomes and their final mark for the year.
Most important of all, it made a Hugh Positive Impression on their teachers and in most cases resulted in the
student being promoted to the next grade.
Warning from Mr. Wilson:
STUDENTS - DON’T CATCH SPRING FEVER!!!
Attendance is crucial during the months of MAY and JUNE.
If there are any students (I can think of one or two) who missed a “few” classes and would like to get a copy of
the notes they missed, they need to come see me as soon as possible.
THERE ARE NO GRADE 9 EXAMS THIS YEAR.
