Friday, November 18, 2011

We've all had a busy week as teachers have completed report cards and parent/teacher interviews have been conducted over the last few days. Please remember that there is no school on Friday as some teachers are finishing up interviews.

On Monday's Parent Council meeting, we presented our School Improvement Plan; you can access it under the Curriculum section of our website. The SIP is a process that staff undertake to set long term and short range goals based on their students' needs. We continue to revisit these goals, and post final outcomes at the end of the year.

I look forward to seeing you at our first parent information night on "Eating Disorders". I encourage you to attend, no matter the age or gender of your child. The workshop will be in the library at 6:00 p.m.

Many of our schools, including LKS, work closely with the 22 Division and we are grateful for their support. The following message is from Constable Cashmore:

I am the new social media officer/ community officer at 22 Division. In the event of a school lockdown or any other incident in 22 Division we will be posting live updates to media, residents and family members via these social media sites. This gives the end user an immediate answer as and when we know it to what's going on in their division and home area live and interactive.

This is also a great way to ask us any questions and raise your concerns. Like all initiatives we need the full buy in from our community for this to be a success. If you have information you want us to pass on please feel free to call me or email me and I will post it on our site.
