Here is this week's update for families. Week of March 30 - April 3

We will be posting a weekly update during this period of school closures. Please monitor this website (check under News and Links) for these updates. As well, they will be sent to you via email. We are thinking of all of our families and missing you very much. 

We are excited about our Scholastic Book Fair this week! From Monday to Friday, the book fair will be set up in the Learning Commons. Students will have an opportunity throughout the week to purchase books and other items. Thursday is Parents' Day at the book fair. Come and join us on Thursday morning, from 8:45 - 9:45 for a muffin and coffee, and take a look at what the book fair has to offer. Parents are also welcome to come after school on Thursday - we'll keep the book fair open until 4:00 pm. 

A reminder that we are closed tomorrow, March 5th, due to a one day provincial strike.

Spirit Week is one of the highlights of the year at Dr. F.J. We have many special activities planned, beginning this Friday with Pajama or DFJ Wear Day, as well as a school-wide BINGO game. Stay tuned for  information more events. 

Something new is 'popping up' at Dr. F. J. McDonald. Every Wednesday, students will have an opportunity to buy a bag of Papa Jack's popcorn, available in a variety of flavours. Bags will be sold at lunch time for $1.00 each.
