Last week I shared our literacy and math goals that form our School Improvement Plan. This week, I will be sharing our goals in the last two areas; namely Pathways and Community, Culture and Caring.
LKS Pathway Goals
-Full Implementation of Full Day Kindergarten and Early Learning Strategies
-Supportive transition for our grade 8 students moving to Secondary Schools
-Staff will continue to focus on learning skills (as outlined on report card)
Community, Culture and Caring (Safe School Goals)
-Working with our community liaison officer, continue to develop safety awareness at each grade level
-Continue to develop a Bully-free culture in partnership with the Toronto Argonauts and student leaders
-Through the Peer Mediation program, empower students to become problem-solvers and reflective thinkers
-Continue to promote a community spirit through the TRIBES Agreements and TDSB Character Traits
-Continue to contribute to the Global Community through the work of Parent Council, LIVE, ECO-Club and Seeds of Hope initiatives
-Through the work of the Mental Health and Well-Being Committee, increase an awareness of mental health concerns and provide support to those needing assistance
As you can see from our School Improvement Plan, schools are required to accomplish or at least set out to accomplish a myriad of initiatives. Although it looks like a lot, the staff at LKS will continue to set priorities as the year continues focusing on student learning!
Just a reminder that report cards go home next Monday. We will see you next week during interviews.
Have a great weekend!
