This week, we hosted a parent workshop on social media. Debbie Gordon, the presenter shared current trends and patterns in children's usage of social media. Please visit the following link for more information and tips for parents: http://www.hashtagbrandofme.com/.

I'd like to thank Ms. Santiago and Mrs. Hall for accompanying the Folk Dance Club to Gracefield P.S last night to participate in the Festival. We had a great time. I'd like to extend a big congratulations to our students as they've been practising with us from February to prepare for last night. They showed commitment and great LKS spirit!

Another big congratulations to the Student Council as they are hosting our LKS Olympics for our grade 1-5 students this coming Friday. It should prove to be a great day!

The next few weeks are going to be very busy, both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers continue to program, review concepts with the students and finalize assessments and evaluations to write report cards.

Report cards go home on Monday, June 27th at the end of the day. Reports will not be given out any earlier, nor are they mailed. If you are not here at the end of the year, you can pick them up in the office until July 7, 2016 or starting August 29th when the office reopens. You may also get someone else to pick up the report as long as you write a note giving the teacher and/or office permission to release it.

There is a Professional Activity Day next Friday. The teachers will be marking and writing report cards. There is no school. 

Have a great weekend.
