Week Ahead
Our soccer teams just got back and they told me they had a great day! Although they lost out at the end, both teams had some exciting moments!
Our Equity Conference was a hit on Tuesday. I'm going to have the students actually blog you next week about it!
Just a reminder that Debbie Gordon from Mediacs will presenting on Wednesday the 21st @ 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. She does a great presentation on social networking and issues around the Internet. If you are a grade 4-8 parent, please join us that evening for an informative session.
Next week, we will host our Track & Field Days. Mr. Page will host the grade 1-3 day on the morning of the 21st and Mr. Bracht has organized our grade 4-8 day on May 23rd at ECI. We are also looking forward to seeing our own "Lambton Idol" on Tuesday. The grade 8 students have done a great job organizing this assembly!
A reminder to those parents deciding upon a gifted program for next September. Please make sure you send in the letter either accepting or declining the placement. We need send them in to the Spec Ed Department by the 23rd!
Just a reminder that if you are moving, please inform the office and/or classroom teacher. This information is really important for setting up September classes.
Just a reminder to please be careful when driving around the school. As the warmer weather draws upon us, we tend to have more kids out and about on the sidewalks and streets. We will also remind them to mind the cars and to cross at the crosswalk. Thank you to Bob, our crossing guard, for taking care of our community.
Have a great long weekend! See you on the 20th!

Happy Valentine's Day
We had such a great Valentine's Day! It is so great to see the little ones (and big ones) enjoy this wonderful day. I love seeing everyone dressed in red or pink and celebrating love and friendship. A big thank you goes to the grade 8 students who organized the "Crush" Valentine. You put a lot of time into making it a successful day! Also, thank you to all staff and parents for making this day special for the students. We know it takes a concerted effort when creating something great!
Unfortunately, we also had to send home a form letter from the Board indicating some bad news. Apparently, there will be a media release from Toronto Police indicating a potential sex offender living in the community. This news is very disturbing to all of us at LKS! As we just got this news at the end of the day, we will be discussing this in great detail next week. Safety is of the upmost importance and we will continue to teach the kids the Streetproofing Tips and using the buddy system to go to the washroom or other rooms. We will also be working with the lunchroom staff so they are aware and even more diligent on outside duty at lunch. All staff, will continue to provide supervision at the regular times. Mr. McLean and I will continue to be outside also.
Please remember that students and parents must enter by the front door only. Sometimes parents want to bring their kids in another door and knock for the students to open the doors. We ask that you do not do this, but instead use the front door. The kids do not know who the parents are and it is not really their responsibility to open the doors; they do it because they are great, kind kids. By continuing this, we are putting them in a tough situation. Also, please do not enter the building before school hours. On cold days (or rainy, please feel free to stand in the stairwells until we ring an early bell, but we ask again not to enter the hallways or go to the classrooms. Finally, please report to the office upon beginning your visit. We will give all volunteers indentification badges.
Our community police officer, Officer McCann was scheduled to come to the school next week, so we will be asking him to reiterate streetproofing tips to the classes he visits.
We thank you for your support in our efforts to keep the students safe and we will keep you posted if we receive anything else from the Board or Toronto Police. Please visit their website for further information. I'll be doing this when finished writing this post.
