Purple Day and Homework Club

Thursday, October 20 is known in North America as Spirit Day. It is a day that people in business, government organizations, and schools wear purple to show their solidarity as they stand up against bullying. The colour purple was chosen from the rainbow as a colour that represents spirit. Show your Johnny Lombardi spirit on Spirit Day by wearing purple to show you believe that all students have a right to a safe and inclusive learning environment in any school that they go to and anywhere in the community!



Homework Club starts Wednesday,October 19!
We are happy to announce that we will be providing for students in grades 5 to 8 an after school Homework Club.  From 2:35- 3:05pm each day, students who have homework can come to the school library where staff will be available to support students with their homework. This is on a voluntary basis, unless teachers recommend that students should attend. In these incidents teachers will be contacting parents directly. Students come as they need the service; they do not have to come every day.


The expectation is that students must be working on homework. If they do not have homework they will be sent home. Students will not be coming to these sessions to be with their friends or for us to provide after school care. At 3:05pm students will be dismissed as they would have at 2:30pm.  Students must make their own arrangements to get home.  If parents are picking up their children, please wait at the front doors, where students will come out. It is the parent’s responsibility to know where their child is after 2:30pm dismissal. We will not be keeping track and informing parents if their child does or does not come to Homework Club unless the recommendation and agreement to attend Homework Club has been made between teacher and parent.

If you have additional questions, please contact your child’s teacher.
