Proud family! Congratulations John M. 👨🏽‍🎓

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to be inclusive and equitable to all of our graduating students, we have elected to postpone our convocation and dinner and dance until large group gatherings are possible again. More information on a date and location will follow in September. Updates will be communicated via email, school website and social media.

High school graduation is a big achievement! We at St. John’s High School wanted to ensure that all of our graduates are recognized and congratulated for achieving their grade 12 diploma. As students will be attending post-secondary institutions in the fall, we thought that it was necessary to ensure all scholarships, bursaries and award winners were recognized appropriately and provided with their awards. Staff along with Student Council have elected to produce a virtual convocation video that will encompass all elements of an in person convocation and appropriately recognize each student for their achievement. A link to the video will be posted on our website, June 26th in the morning.

As our graduation list is confirmed this week, staff will be in contact with graduates to arrange for the delivery of graduation packages to homes on Friday, June 26th. Staff will deliver lawn signs, diplomas, transcripts and any awards or certificates. Packages are not able to be picked up from the school on Friday. If graduates are unable to receive delivery of their package to their home, appointments can be made with the school – starting on Monday June 29th– to pick up the package. Please call the school for more information.

In September, the current plan is to have the convocation and dinner and dance at the same venue. This way students will still have the opportunity to wear their cap and gown, receive their diploma and photographs as well as participate in the dinner and dance. More information about tickets, cap and gown, and the overall cost will be communicated once a location has been determined.

On behalf of the entire St. John’s staff…Congratulations to the Class of 2020!

Dear Parent/Guardian:



The Province of Manitoba has announced in its phase II reopening plan that schools are open on June 1, 2020. This does not mean a return to business as usual – and in-class instruction en masse continues to be cancelled.



WSD’s strategy

Winnipeg School Division began working on a reopening plan scheduled for September not long after the in-class cancellation. We intend to align the work we have already done with the intention of a gradual reopening in June. Please note that, while teachers and support staff will be back in schools on a day-to-day basis, students will only be allowed into the school by invitation. We request that parents and guardians refrain from entering the school unless invited to do so, by appointment, with their child’s teacher.



Our goal is to provide a measured and strategic reopening. To do this, WSD school administrators are conducting a needs-analysis in their school by identifying students who require in-person support to ensure credit attainment, student assessments, clinical supports, course completion or other specific programming as required. Home learning will continue but will wind down throughout June as student assessment and transition planning begins.



Bussing

Regular school transportation is not available for June. Students who normally travel by school bus will require transportation to be arranged by their parent to attend in-school sessions. For our Inclusive Education students, other plans are being explored and your school will contact you with more information when it is available.



Cleaning

Custodial Services implemented a rigorous cleaning protocol in all of our schools and buildings prior to the cancellation of in-school classes, and these protocols are continuing to be enforced. We would like to assure our students and families that our schools are safe, and social distancing guidelines will be enforced.



Managing Illness

No person showing flu-like symptoms will be admitted entrance to any WSD school or building. This includes coughing, sneezing, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath or runny-nose. Anybody who has travelled outside of Manitoba (with some exceptions to
