It’s that time again to wear our coziest duds for the last day before spring break! Stuffies optional…

 
 

Hockey Academy March 08th

 

Interested in joining Journey Middle School Hockey Academy next year?  We will be accepting applications for the 2021 – 2022 school year for grade 6, 7 and 8 students starting March 8, 2021 at 6am.  The cost of the Academy from September to March is $755, (with a $85 non-refundable deposit required when registering).

The Hockey Academy runs within the timetable during the regular school day on Monday and Wednesday mornings.  Two of the blocks are in place of PE, but any other work must be the responsibility of the student to catch up.

Coach Elm reminds everyone that this is not a learn to skate program and students must know how to skate and have full hockey gear.

This year space is limited. Due to COVID-19, students will follow safety protocols set by Journey Middle School, SEAPARC, and the JMS Hockey Academy, (including smaller cohorts).

 
 

Dress as if you were on a tropical vacation this Friday! Flip flops and shorts optional, but don’t forget to bring appropriate outside gear for a potentially rainy Sooke recess!

 
 

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Bus registration for current students opens at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, February 16, 2021!

If you have a newly registered student new to SD62, please register starting March 15.

Changes for the 2021/2022 school year include:

  • A $25 safety fee per rider (due upon registration);
  • A $100 late registration fee per family if registering after August 31st;
  • In-catchment school bus service only. Exceptions:
    • French Immersion students;
    • Academy students;
    • Students attending their catchment overflow school; or
    • Students in the TASK (Trades Awareness and Skills Knowledge) program.

Don’t attend your catchment school?  All out of catchment bus requests will be looked at individually to see if there is a route that might work. Your child will be required to get to and from an existing stop. If there is a route that will work and there is space on it, your child will be able to take the bus. Although routes will not be known until the summertime, we advise you to register during the registration period of February 16-April 30.
