John Ware Families - 

We are only a week from report cards being released (Monday, January 27) in MyCBE. If you require a printed copy for your child, please let their homeroom teacher know so we can send one home with them. Semester two begins on Tuesday, January 28.

Open House | January 30

On January 30 from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm we will be welcoming upcoming grade 6 students and families to come and visit our school and learn about our school’s arts, athletics and academic programs. It will also provide an opportunity to connect with our administration, teachers and student services to discover what Longhorn culture is all about.

1 | Arts - Showcase some of the amazing opportunities your child will have at John Ware School, through option programs, extra-curricular clubs and activities.

2 | Academics – Come and meet some of our amazing teachers who work hard to create engaging quality learning experiences for all students.

3 | Athletics – Showcase a variety of sports teams and development opportunities your child can be a part of.

Informal presentation in the Learning Commons at 6:30.

School Council | Bring a Friend February

We are hoping to have a higher turnout for our upcoming council meeting on Tuesday, February 18. We will be hosting “Bring a Friend February” where parents and guardians are encouraged to bring a friend to the meeting to get to know more about the work at our school. Did you know we don’t spend time talking about how to sell things or fundraise? We’ve had volunteers who worked our last casino to allow us to focus on the fun of spending and enhancing programming opportunities. Come be part of the fun!

Not so subtle bribery: Families who attend meetings (in person and online) are eligible to put their child’s name in a draw to win a prize for their homeroom! Prizes could be an extra PE block, additional break time, be a school administrator for the day, or even a pizza party.
