Traffic Concerns

We have had an increase in cars being parked on both sides of the street on Lawford Road and Stanton Ave. Please be reminded that parking is permitted on the school side of both streets.  We have also had an increase in parents double parking and students running between cars to reach their parent's vehicle. With the arrival of snow the visibility of students has diminished, making it more difficult to see students as they move between vehicles. Please use our car loop Kiss n' Ride  when dropping off or picking up your child in order to ensure that all students are safe. A short wait is better than an unfortunate accident. 

Immunization Information from Public Health

If parents/guardians or students receive a letter from York Region Public Health requesting immunization information, here’s what to do:
Update York Region Public Health on your child’s immunization status in one of the following ways:

  • Online at https://eimmunization.york.ca
  • Fax documents to 905-895-6066 or 1-866-258-2026
  • Mail immunization information to Immunization Services, Box 147, Newmarket, ON L3Y 6Z1
  • Call York Region Public Health at 1-877-464-9675 ext. 73456

Thank-you to all our families who were able to join us for our very first Movie Night! We had over 150 children and parents join us. Special thanks go to our amazing grade 8s and Mr. Meagher who helped with the set up, running and cleaning up. We have awesome students at JLPS.  Thanks also go to the Donia family for donating 2 Toronto Maple Leafs tickets to our raffle draw.  All monies raised will go to supporting school events and resources for the students.  Thank-you to all School Council members who helped organize the event and  who were able to join us. Please consider joining us on our next Movie Night in the new year.

New Stop Signs

Parents/Guardians,
Please be aware that there is now a four-way stop at Stanton and Lawford. This will help to ensure that all our students are kept safe while crossing the streets to get to school.
