LSS Weekly Communication - October 18, 2024
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
On Wednesday evening, we had our annual PAC AGM. Thank you to all those parents who were able to attend and to those parents who have volunteered to be a part of the PAC executive. If you missed the meeting, we hope to see you at a future meeting. Our school really appreciates the LSS PAC and all of the support it provides for our school programs.
Yesterday, LSS participated in the Great BC Shakeout Earthquake Drill. Thank you to all staff and students for their timely response to our simulated earthquake and evacuation of the school. This is also a great opportunity for families to have conversations at home around emergency preparedness.
Today was PSBC day at Ladysmith Secondary School. We welcomed 13 post-secondary institutes from across BC to learn more about all that they have to offer. Thank you to our counselling team and Ms. Powell for organizing this wonderful event.
As of today, any student without a tech/cloud consent response recorded into eConsent will have their access to cloud apps through their learn68 account suspended. These eConsent forms were sent home via email in the first week of school. Students use their learn68 accounts to access educational aps in the ‘cloud’ such as Google Classroom, MS 365/Teams, Canvas and more. In the event that your student loses access their learn68 account please email info.ls@sd68.bc.ca and we will send you another eConsent form.
Travel Club will host an information session at Ladysmith Secondary on October 21st at 6 PM to discuss the Senior Trip to the Alps and Mediterranean, planned for Spring Break 2026! We invite all interested families and students to join us for this informative meeting. During the session, we will provide details about the trip itinerary, costs, and answer any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like more information, please email Moira Dolen at mdolen@sd68.bc.ca. Click the link to RSVP- https://bit.ly/3XH6c2L. We look forward to seeing you there and sharing more about this exciting opportunity!
