Autism Awareness Events

On Tuesday, April 3rd JLPS will be showing our continued  commitment to supporting all students through various events that bring attention to Autism.The eleventh annual World Autism Awareness Day is April 2, 2018.
Joined by the international community, hundreds of thousands of landmarks, buildings, homes and communities around the world, light blue in recognition of people living with autism. Autism-friendly events and educational activities take place all month to increase understanding and acceptance and foster worldwide support.
*On Tuesday, April 3rd students are asked to wear blue. We will have a short school-wide assembly to share some information prepared by our staff and students followed immediately by a school-wide walk through our community. Families are welcome to join us for the assembly and the walk at 12:50pm.
*Also, Our Primary Autism class will be selling cupcakes at morning and lunch recess  for $1.00 to raise funds to purchase resources for their classroom. If you would like your child to purchase one, please send them with a loonie.
On behalf of our whole school community, thank-you for supporting all our students.
