Hi LSS

 

Pride week was a great success as we work on being inclusive at LSS, although I was very disappointed in my guessing of candies in the Jar – I am a math teacher! The goal of $150 raised was reached and Mr. Alsop’s beard displayed a PRIDE filled rainbow.

Hi LSS

Planning for next year is going strong. – what!? Don’t we need to finish this year?

 

Our counsellors have been busy meeting with students and their schedules. We plan to get the 2021-22 school year’s schedules into the hands of students next week.

 

Also, I have attached our bell schedule for next year – our records clerk and math department were a big help in creating a schedule with great start and end times (multiples of 5)

 

At present time, the Ministry has not relaxed guidelines for COVID safety in schools even though public guidelines are changing.

 

Three more weeks – persevere and finish strong. We are going to make it.
