Good morning LJPS community. As you are all aware, due to the recent cyber attack on the YRDSB network report card delivery via student Gapps accounts has been delayed and those reports will be shared with families once the network is restored.

Please use this opportunity to get your child (ren) to school on time. When students are late, this is extremely disruptive to their learning as they enter class after instruction has begun.  Daily Child Screening As the cold and flu season is upon us, we are experiencing many students showing up to that are not feeling well, have upset stomach, are coughing, and in some cases vomiting.
