Benefits of Moving JH to Gananoque Campus

• Greater consistency of expectations for entire
  school (1-8)
• Build school community/spirit
• JH will have regular access to gymnasium
• Easier for me as a principal and for other
  teachers that currently visit both campuses
• One drop-off and pick-up point for parents
• A majority of students and teachers support this
  proposal for these and various other reasons
• Frees us to open more day care space at T.V.
