On Friday, we will be holding our Remembrance Day Assembly at 10:30 a.m. in the gym to honour those who served for Canada. Poppies will be given to all the children. A small donation will be collected for the Royal Canadian Legion until November 15, 2012. If you would like more information to share at home, please visit http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/ for resources.

Just a reminder that Progress Reports will be sent home on Monday. A letter from me will be attached to the weekly grade parent email. We look forward to parent/teacher interviews next week.

As you may know, full-day Kindergarten will be available at LKS in 2014. Currently, our kindergarten teachers are preparing by visiting demonstration classes and learning about the "Inquiry-based model of learning" that supports the program. LKS will be invited to implementation workshops starting in 2013. We will make sure the community is kept abreast of new information forthcoming.

Please keep informed of labour negotiations via the TDSB website, the local trustee or your MP's office. Currently, we have some activities that continue at LKS.
