Hi LSS

I guess with all the snow this past weekend you did not get a chance to ride your bike like I suggested. Just so you know I did do one snow ride (push). Stay safe out there LSS.

Message from the district.

The Greater Nanaimo area has been experiencing a higher number of coronavirus cases in the past few weeks, and many of these cases have reported to have higher numbers of social contacts and events while contagious. Accordingly, it is not unexpected that we are now seeing children with coronavirus in our schools. Public health urges community members to decrease social contacts and remain vigilant to illness. It is important to get children tested if they are not feeling well, even with mild illness. Children will often have only mild coronavirus illness, and symptoms that may be overlooked. Please consider having your child tested if their symptoms are new, call 1-844-901-8442 to book an appointment (daily 8:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.). – Please remember to do your daily health checks

Pink Shirt Day – Feb 24^th – Wear Pink
This February 24th you’ll find that “Kindness is Among Us”. For pink shirt day this year, student council will be live streaming a teacher-student game of “Among Us.” This game will be the platform for a discussion on topics related to anti-bullying and how we can all be better allies and upstanders. What better way to discuss important issues than while trying to survive a murder spree in space? 😊
Student Council will also be holding a candy guess in the foyer. There will be a beautiful jar full of yummy bonbons to tempt everyone to take a chance at winning the prize. The closest guess wins the whole jar. What a delicious way to wrap up pink shirt day.

Parent teacher virtual interview game plan

Teachers will be available on one of the following days from 3:15 to 5:15:

You will receive an email from your child’s teacher indicating what day they are scheduling their appointments.

Teachers will also be emailing and/or calling as well. – Remember you can request to meet with a teacher anytime

English Language Arts Celebrates Black History Month

February marks Black History Month and Ladysmith Secondary students are engaging in the stories and histories that highlight Black voices and leaders. This month, Ladysmith Secondary began a “Read Woke” Challenge that features diverse voices and experiences. Librarian, Cecily Lewis first began the Challenge and describes Read Woke as a movement that “means learning about others so that you can treat people with respect and dignity that they deserve no matter their religion, race, creed, or colour.” Teachers have taken this challenge to the classroom with novel studies and lessons that focus on the diverse voices and experiences of Black Canadians as well as the Black Civil Rights Movement in North America.For more information on Read Woke, visit https://sites.google.com/view/readwoke/home

Good afternoon LSS

Hope it has been a great week and that you are looking forward to watching Tom Brady win another Super Bowl – I couldn’t resist.

Report cards will be out on Monday through the MyEd portal. You may have noticed that you have not been able to get onto the portal lately. The reason is that as we work on report cards, we close access so that it does not confuse parents and students as comments are not complete.

As announced by the Ministry guidelines around health and safety have been adapted. The school is working to implement these changes. The main change is that when students and staff are not seated in their workstation (desk in most cases) they are to wear a mask. As a school we continue to remind staff and students that the best practice is not to gather and to keep 2 m apart. Please review this with your child(ren) so that the school can be supported – we need everyone working together.

Basketball Skills training.
If your child is planning on participating please note that the number of students in their cohort will be expanded, but will still be under the government recommended number of 120. We ask that students also please bring their own basketball if they have one and that masks are recommended during participation. As of right now, Grade 8 girls will be Monday and Tuesday from 3-4:00pm, Grade 8 boys will be Tuesday and Thursday from 3-4:00pm and Senior Boys and Girls will be Tuesdays from 4:10-5:00pm. Grade 9 and 10’s will have a meeting Monday at lunch in Room 204 to check interest and pick a day/time that works best for them to start this coming week (most likely Wednesday from 3-4pm).

Note: No Thursday practice on Feb 11^th – school is not in session.
