Message From Head of Junior School - March 23, 2018

Dear JS Parents,

We hope that your daughters have enjoyed the March Break, and are looking forward to returning to school on Monday. We are excited to see them!

During the March Break we undertook site services work at the Junior School and as a result, our driveway has been reconfigured, shifting eastward closer to Rosewell Avenue.

There have been changes to the driveway. The drop-off and pick-up process, however, has not been affected and will remain the same as before.

For the week of March 26, we will have a Toronto Police Service officer on duty during drop-off and pick-up hours to help assist with traffic flow at the Junior School, in addition to our regular security guards and staff. For everyone’s safety, please follow the directions provided by the officer on duty and our security team during drop-off and pick-up. We ask that you reduce speed, obey traffic signs and be mindful of your surroundings when using the Junior School driveway.

The Cohen Field parking lot will be available for use at a later date, and we will share instructions for use prior to implementation.

Please click on the links below to view the revised traffic flow map and drop-off/pick-up procedures.


Sincerely,
Kate White
