Janet Johnstone Parent Council

Summer break is almost here! ☀️🎉

The lunches are almost packed, the backpacks are almost empty, and the kids are already making plans.

Finish the sentence:
“The first thing my child wants to do when school is out is ________.”

Let’s see what our JJ students are most excited about this summer!

A Year to Remember! 🎉

This year, every Janet Johnstone student will receive a special year-end T-shirt designed to celebrate the memories, friendships, and milestones of the 2025–2026 school year.

Students will have the chance to fill their shirts with signatures, messages, and doodles from friends, classmates, and teachers - creating a keepsake they’ll treasure for years to come. 💜

School Council is covering the upfront cost to ensure every student receives a shirt. If you’re able, we invite families to contribute toward the approximately $10 cost per shirt or pay it forward by sponsoring an additional student.

Thank you for helping us create a meaningful tradition that celebrates our incredible school community.

If you’re a Calgary parent, you know that “summer” means leaving the house in a hoodie, carrying it by lunch, and somehow never seeing it again. 😅

As the school year winds down, our lost and found is filling up with sweaters, jackets, water bottles, and lunch containers that may never make it home before the last bell rings.

Do your August self a favour and order your Mabel’s Labels now! You’ll be ready when the back-to-school rush arrives, and you’ll help your child’s belongings find their way back home all year long.

Best of all, every purchase through our fundraiser supports Janet Johnstone School. ❤️

Order now and check one thing off your back-to-school list before summer has even begun!

It’s time for FJJSA’S Myth vs. Reality Series!

Did you know that you don’t have to attend every council meeting to be a part of our community? We love to welcome you both in person and online whenever you can make it to support our school! What ‘council myths’ have you heard that you think we should share?

Happy World Environment Day! 🌱

Today, we’re celebrating the importance of caring for the world around us. Every small action—from reducing waste and recycling to spending time outdoors and appreciating nature, helps create a healthier future for everyone.

At JJ School, students are encouraged to be thoughtful stewards of the environment and to make choices that have a positive impact on our community and our planet.
