We will be hosting our first Parent Council meeting next Tuesday. I encourage you to attend as new members will be voted in and volunteer lists will be generated. Babysitting will be available. The meeting will be at 7:00 p.m in Room 210 (upstairs).
We have received our school budget for the year and we have been cut approximately $11, 000 to $99,000. You can actually view all school budgets on the TDSB website. The TDSB is responsible for major facilities and salaries and the school budget is mainly used for program expenses, minor facility repairs, and office expenditures (i.e. telephones, photocopier rentals, etc). We are so fortunate to work closely with the LKS Parent Council as we off-set the school's budget with the money that you donate to provide enriching programs like Artist in the School, Classroom Fund, Scientist in the School, etc. If it wasn't for your donations, we couldn't possibly provide so much that we can to the students. I will continue to talk about Budget at our monthly Parent Council meetings.
This year, we are fortunate to have Rosa Militano, our new guidance counselor. Rosa will mainly be working with our grade 8 students and teachers completing the necessary paperwork as they move to secondary school next year, but she is also available to our families for counseling and guidance related concerns. Here is a message from Mrs. Militano:
