A Note from the Principal
Welcome to J.S. Clark!
Our community school is committed to providing a safe learning environment that fosters and supports each student’s ability to achieve their full potential academically, creatively and physically.
Parent and community involvement is both welcomed and appreciated as we, teachers, support staff, students and parents, work together with a common vision: “As a community of learners we embrace opportunities to build successful futures.”
At J.S. Clark we promote and follow the BUDDY rules as well as practice “Bucket Filling” to enhance a positive learning environment. These rules include: Being prepared, Using good manners, Doing kind deeds, Discussing problems, and You always respect other people and their things. “Bucket Filling” reinforces these rules and encourages everyone to be kind and thoughtful of other people’s feelings.
The Parent Handbook contains important information about our school, policies and procedures. We ask that parents please take the time to read the handbook with their child and familiarize themselves with its contents. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to stop by the office at any time and discuss them with us.
We look forward to an exciting year!
Mrs. Melissa Murrin
Principal, J.S. Clark
