Last Week of January!

Well, we are hard at work at LKS! Teachers will be completing final assessments over the next few weeks in order to start writing second term report cards. This term certainly has gone by quickly.

Just a reminder that Kindergarten Registration is scheduled for Feb 10th and 11th. We also found out that we will be "closed" to any optional attendance for September 2010. That means that no one can register at LKS unless they live in the boundaries. This has been the practice for many years.

Some of you may have heard that new legislation regarding safety in schools comes into effect on February 2010. Basically, Bill 157 requires all employees of the board to report any incidents to the Principal that could result in a suspension or expulsion, and parents of the victim must be informed. For many of us, these aren't new practices, it is now an amendment of the Education Act.
