Happy Springfest!

We hope everyone has a great day on Saturday at Springfest...we hope it is sunny and warm! A big thank you to all the parents on the organizing committee as it takes an enormous amount of time to organize this big event.

Recently, we have had a few more cases of lice. If your child contacts lice, please inform the school as we normally send home a generic letter from Public Health. Please make sure you shampoo (use the lice shampoo), comb out the hair using a "nit" comb and then pick out all the nits. Your child can return to school once all the nits are picked out.I sympathize with all the families who have been affected-my family has gone through it before and it is a lot of work!

In addition, if your child is experiencing any flu-like symptoms (i.e. throwing up), please keep them home for 24 hours (the advice from Public Health) and take them to the doctor if you deem necessary. Please call the school if your child will be away.

If you haven't done so already, please take some time to complete the parent survey from the Director of Education, Chris Spence. The survey can be located at www.tdsb.on.ca/parentsurvey.

Do you like to run...try out the Etobicoke Track and Field Club at www.etobicoketrack.ca/sportscamp-a few of our LKS students have joined in the past and have had some good experiences with the club.
