LSS Weekly Communications - December 1, 2023
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
We hope you were all able to enjoy the community Light-Up event last night. Our school community is bustling with the excitement of December and only a few weeks to go before the start of Winter Break.
On December 7th, we will be hosting a dance at LSS from 6pm to 9pm. Tickets are available for sale in the foyer for $10. Help us bring some joy to one of the longest nights of the year by purchasing a ticket before we sell out.
Recently, immunization consent packages for grade 9 students were sent home from the school. If you have not already done so, discuss the information in the consent package with your child and include them in the decision to provide consent for immunization. Please return the completed consent form to the school in a sealed envelope as soon as possible. Students in grade 9 will be offered immunizations in school-based clinics. Immunizations will be provided at the school for grade 9 students on February 15th. For more information visit HealthLinkBC: The Infants Act, Mature Minor Consent and Immunization. Contact the local Health Unit at 250-755-6200 ext 53292 if you have any questions.
In partnership with The Ministry of Education and Childcare’s erase strategy, due to high demand, we are offering an additional “Social Media Awareness” Family Session on December 5th at 6:30pm. This 60-minute session will be held virtually via zoom. To register for this session please click on the link below.
The Nanaimo Dry Grad committee is holding its next meeting 6pm on December 12th at Wellington Secondary School.
