Ladysmith Intermediate School
Week at a Glance for September 21st - 25th
Open Parachute is a district mental wellness program being used in many classrooms. A wonderful addition to the program is that it has a parent portal that you can access anytime if you are struggling at home with specific issues. It gives families an opportunity to open up the conversation about mental health, at home, so that students know it is a safe place to share how they are feeling, provide them with useful tools, and provide an opportunity to connect with you.
I will be including a weekly link for families to take a look at, but please know that you can access any of the modules that you want. The topics I send will either align with our virtue, behaviour of the month, or issues that are coming up at school.
Cell Phone Reminder
Please discuss with your children the importance of putting their phone away once they are at school. We have been struggling with managing several groups of students who have their phone out in the morning when they arrive. When asked to put their phones away, they go off of school property which is a safety concern. We strive to have a safe environment at Ladysmith Intermediate and really appreciate your support with this.
Terry Fox Run - September 25th, 2026
Students will be partaking in the annual Terry Fox run this year on Friday, September 25th, 2026. We will have an assembly as a whole school and then classes will complete a block run throughout the day. We will be collecting "Toonies for Terry" to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation. Students can bring as many toonies as they like to donate between now and September 25th. Even if everyone donates one toonie, that gets us 2/3 of the way to our goal of $1000!! We can do this LIS Community!
COPS Tour de Rock - September 28th, 2026
We are honoured to welcome the Tour de Rock cycling team to LIS this year on Monday, September 28th, around 10:55 a.m.!! They will spend some time in the gym with our students as we cheer them in and answer any student questions. Please help us with fundraising for this amazing event. Below is the donation link for this fundraiser which goes towards childhood cancer research. Please indicate in the donation line, your child's name and division because the class with the highest donations will be treated to a PIZZA PARTY!!
