Well, thankfully we do not have the dramatic weather that we had last week. This week is relatively quiet at Journey. We welcome Ecole Poirier's Grade 5 class this Thursday for our Future Journey Dragons exploratory. Say hello if you see an old friend who might be feeling a little dwarfed by our big school. The Volleyball teams have their competition schedules which can be found attached to our Athletics pages. Information for the Volleyball Teams is posted outside the gym doors.
There is a winter weather warning for our region. With this in mind, please keep tuned into CFAX 1070 and the Sooke School District Website to see if and how the storm affects transportation and road conditions.
JMS is OPEN

Schools will be open today! Most roads have been ploughed and salted. There are some bus route changes in Sooke and Metchosin. See Below:
- Metchosin: Chappel Heights and Duke Road, students need to safely make their way to Metchosin Road
- Sun River: students need to safely make their way to the sub-division entrance
- Otter Point Road: Routes 11 & 24 will run, however buses cannot make it up side roads, students should make their way to Otter Point Road.
Buses may be running later than usual due to road conditions.
Students are reminded to dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Bundle up so that you can enjoy the snow. Keep in mind that snowballs are not allowed at school for safety reasons.
(Please note that Homework Club is not running today.)
Snow Day
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
All schools and bus service in SD62 are cancelled today due to poor weather and unsafe road conditions. The Transportation supervisor has reported that roads in most of the outlying areas of the District are very slippery and dangerous. Take care and see you when the storm passes.
Due to snow accumulations and dangerous road conditions, JMS is closing. Students will be released only once parents have been contacted and plans have been arranged for children to return home safely.
