By the week's end it will be June so if your son or daughter is in grade 8, they should be reviewing for final exams every night. Check out our calendar for exam times. There is no such thing as "I don't have any homework" in the month of June for Grade 8 students.

This Tuesday afternoon our last group of grade 8's, Divisions 5 and 6, visit EMCS to check out the facilities and programs. Meanwhile, our incoming grade 5's from John Muir Elementary will be visiting Journey on Thursday for an afternoon of fun and games with their Middle School Journey Dragon leaders. Not only are students making transition visits, but the Grade 5 students' parents and guardians have also been invited to visit the school on May 29th from 6 to 7pm.

It is our Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis Week here at JMS. We are raising money for research and treatments around Cystic Fibrosis. There will be events across the week to raise money so if your child asks you for a few bucks to throw some eggs at teachers, they are not putting you on. The fundraising drive ends on Friday with a Carnival. Click on the blog details for more information.
These last few weeks are busy with transitions or preparations for moving students from elementary to middle and middle to high school. This week Saseenos will be visiting on Thursday for their Future Journey Dragon's exploratory. Also, grade 8s in Divisions 1 and 2 will be visiting EMCS on Tuesday afternoon for an orientation.

A sunny week is forecasted. Please remember to wear sunscreen and to wear clothes that meet with our dress code. This is a work environment and our clothes should reflect that.
Reading assessments continue this week. When these assessments are complete, the staff will use the results to shape how we teach reading to our students. We call this "assessment for learning".
Say hello to our Future Journey Dragons visiting from Sooke Elementary this Thursday. Mrs Leppard and Mrs Bridal have been touched by how warm and friendly Journey's students have been with these young visitors week after week. You are excellent ambassadors for your school and we are proud of you.

As per the LRB ruling students will receive their first report cards today, April 30th. These reports represent performance in the first two terms and only feature letter grades. These reports do not represent students' performance in the third and final term. If you would like to know where your child stands in the third term in the interim, please contact your child's teacher. Third and Final report cards are issued in June.
School-wide reading assessments are taking place this week. These are follow up assessments to the Fall reading assessments. If you are interested in student literacy, visit our Literacy Page.
Blog alert. Many homeroom teachers maintain blogs that outline what they are doing in class, list homework, link to helpful learning websites and, in some cases, offer prizes for logging on. Check out the links on our Staff Page
A big welcome to our new staff members Ms Wendy Knowland and Ms Alvira Plett who will be running the office at Journey.
