CSLC Parent Information Night – Monday, June 19th

As you may already know, SJAM was chosen as the host school for the 2017 Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC), coming to Waterloo this September!  SJAM’s staff administration and staff, along with all the WRDSB high schools, are delighted to welcome this nation-wide student conference.  

With such a major event coming to SJAM, we will be altering our timetable for 4 days to accommodate over 1,200 student leaders and teachers from across the country.  We believe the rich opportunity and lasting legacy of the conference will be worth this disruption.

Don’t worry, we have a plan to continue to deliver the program your child needs to learn!  SJAM students will have the opportunity to attend at school during normal school hours, or learn in an innovative online format during the conference!

Want to learn more?  Please join us for our CSLC Parent Information Night on
Monday, June 19th at 7pm in the SJAM auditorium.

Pride flag to fly at all WRDSB locations during June

During the month of June, all Waterloo Region District School Board locations will fly the Pride flag alongside the Canadian flag. The month of June is Pride month. Many of our students, parents/caregivers and community members identify as members of the Rainbow (or LGBTQ+) community.

We’re joined by more than 200 #WRDSB staff and students at this year’s #GSAconference at @bingemans. It’s been an incredible honour to partner with @kwcounselling for 7 years for a day of learning, growth and acceptance. #OK2BME2017 #lgbtq #OK2BME #prideineducation
