7) Jamarama: This Friday, October 22nd 2021 is Janeway's Jamarama Day.  Students should bring in a monetary donation (accepted throughout the week) to their respective homeroom teacher for the privilege of wearing comfy clothes. 

8) Powerschool Reminders: A couple of reminders to families that you should be seeing proactive emails from teachers keeping you in the loop with your child's learning and assessment. Please make sure that you are regularly checking Powerschool. At the point of collecting any learning from the students, teachers are identifying what has been collected, missing, incomplete via PS. Finally, if a student is falling behind, teachers are supportively following up with students and families via email and providing them with the necessary direction needed to grind through any challenges that they are experiencing getting the learning completed. These tools are being used so that families can better support their child's learning!

10) The Happiness Trap: Are you ever perplexed by some people's behaviour? Depending on a student's experiences and/or past trauma, the person's inherited cave-person brain might be kicking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv6HkipQcfA
