Congratulations to our finalists who ran in the City Cross Country Race on today. Official results will be in shortly. Mr. Ellerker, Mrs. Wilson and myself are so proud of you. Thanks to all the parents who have supported the team throughout the season!
This week, Mr. Lanis and Mrs. Chandra hosted a training session for our Peer Mediators. Our Peer Mediators come from our grade 6 classes and they play a big part keeping our students safe at recess. They help the younger students resolve conflicts on the playground. We've had this club for a couple of years, and it is very successful. We thank the kids for showing such great leadership.
Thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent Council meeting on Monday night. We presented our School Improvement Plan and student achievement results from 2011-2012. We also had a discussion around Bill 115. All of us, including staff, parents and the students, are frustrated and disappointed about the uncertainty of the current situation. These same feelings and thoughts were expressed at the Trustee meeting on Tuesday night. Many of our extra-curricular activities have been cancelled here at LKS and across the system, and we aren't sure what the future will look like. Please make sure you check my blog on a regular basis as I will continue to keep you posted as new information is sent to me.
I do know that Progress Reports will be sent home on November the 12th. We will be using our on-line booking system again this year. You will be able to book your parent-teacher interview from November 5th to November 9th. A detailed message will be sent to you via your grade parent. It will contain the code that you need to access the booking system.
Finally, I'd like to welcome Mrs. Struncel who will be replacing Mr. Elias until the new year. At that point, Mrs. Shklar will be teaching some of our gym classes for the remainder of the year. Congratulations to Ms. Sunde as she has become a permanent teacher with the Board and will continue to teach our 2/3 split. Welcome aboard Mrs. Sunde!
