Hello April!

Hard to believe we are into April! Time will start to fly here at school, but we have lots of great things to look forward to still!

Volunteers Still Needed

We are looking for volunteers through the last stretch of the school year, from pizza and coffee deliveries in the school, to helping out with Movie Nights Bookfairs and Dances and our special Year End Event! If you are interested and available, please check out the poster below and reach out the the Student Advisory Council (SAC)! Thank you for supporting our Maple Community

Book Fair Updates

We have Book Fair purchasing dates this week. Please see the week ahead below to see when your students day is!

Please help the Theatre Club!

Staff and Students are working hard on getting our upcoming performance. Please see the poster below, as we are still in need of some items to help us complete the sets and costumes.

A reminder too that Monday March 31st is a PA DAY, and there will be no school!

See you all next week!

Hello,

This year, The Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen’s University is offering a brand-new summer camp: MiniQ!

MiniQ is a summer day camp program for children aged 5-12, located on Queen’s campus. MiniQ Campers explore, create, and learn about the world around them through games, projects and activities in a safe, welcoming environment through hands-on Arts and Science activities. At the end of each week, the camp culminates with a Graduation Showcase. Campers (aged 5-6) will explore the world through a variety of Arts, Science, and outdoor activities each week. Campers (aged 7-12) will engage in a variety of arts and science activities each morning. Campers will select a 'Major' in Arts, Science or Outdoors that they will explore during our afternoon sessions. Find out more information (including a sample schedule and weekly themes) on our website.

We are offering an Early Bird Discount from March 3rd - March 31st. Register HERE!

Before & After care is available for an additional fee. You can sign up for Before & After Care during registration.

If you have questions, email us at MINIQ@queensu.ca and don't forget to follow us on Instagram (@miniqcamp).

Thanks,

MiniQ Summer Camp

Welcome to Kindergarten in Limestone. If your student was born in 2021, now is the time to register your new student to start school this September.

When you join SchoolMessenger, you will be able to:

• receive imporant information from LDSB
• join classrooms and extra-curricular groups
• report a student's absence (same day and in advance)

Reporting A Student's Absence:

The new student absence reporting system will let you use a mobile app, a website, or an interactive toll-free phone number to report an absence in advance. These options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Future absences can be reported at any time.

If your student is marked absent and the absence hasn’t been reported in advance, our new SafeArrival system will attempt to reach the student’s priority contact by telephone to confirm the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designated contacts, school office staff will follow up.
