This week our students participated in our first wellness activity as part of our Well-Being initiative. All the classes made a Positive Train. Each student wrote on a slip of paper something that they were grateful for or that they were good at. Each slip will be stapled together to form an LKS chain train.The lesson was a moment of reflection for students and staff. It gave us all an opportunity to think about and share what is important in our lives; something we should probably be doing more often.
Mrs. Norton and myself attended our first administrators meeting with members of TDSB senior team. We learned the focus of our School Improvement Plan will be in the areas of Equity, Student Achievement and Well Being. The Board has a new organizational model and there have been many changes and things are still evolving. We are part of Learning Center 4, Learning Network 27. Our superintendent is Tracy Hayhurst.
As the year progresses, we will share with you the work that we are doing in those areas.
Congratulations to our grade 3 and 6 students on their wonderful EQAO successes. The results in percentages are as follows in reading, writing and mathematics respectfully: 94, 92, 90 (grade 3) and 87, 90, 73. All scores are above Board and Provincial results. Individual results will be sent home when they are sent to the school in the next couple of weeks. Staff will analyze data to see the areas in which we can continue to improve upon.
The Board has also implemented a new Grade 3 Gifted Screening. All grade 3 students, with parental consent, will write the Canadian Abilities Test. Some will move on to the next phase depending upon their score.
Last year, I started to add useful links to educational websites on the LKS Website. I will continue to do that this year. Feel free to take a look throughout the year.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
