Friday.

General:
  1. Grade 6s received their SJAM option sheets this week; they are due on Monday, June 13th, 2016. What ever is handed in that day will be picked up by an SJAM teacher. Any 6s who miss the deadline will have to make their own arrangements to ensure that their option forms make it to SJAM so that students can be placed into their options.
