Thursday, March 31, 2016

This week, staff began working on our school organization for the upcoming school year. We will talk more about this at the parent council meeting on Monday and in future blogs. 

Over the next two months, we will be placing students into next year's classes. If your child is not going to be at LKS, please let the office and homeroom teacher know as soon as possible

Also, please do not hesitate to have a conversation with your child's teacher if you have concerns or questions about next year. Teachers have a really good idea of your child's needs and will work with their colleagues to place the students accordingly. Staff work collaboratively to create balanced classes taking into account Ministry caps, gender and social and academic needs. Next year's class and teacher will be indicated on the June report card. 

The Science Committee consisting of Ms. Chandra, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Iceton and myself began planning next year's grade 6-8 Science Fair. We will also be hosting a Family of School Fair in February 2016. 

Staff also worked collaboratively to generate a draft "wish list" to consider when allocating funds raised at the school. We will continue to focus on technology and "coding" resources. 

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Keep well.
