Dear LPS Families,

I would like to share that Mrs. Davis will be moving to Bon Accord Community School as Vice Principal for the 2026/2027 school year.

As LPS will be closing at the end of this school year, we wanted to take a moment to recognize Mrs. Davis and the important role she has played in our school community since our arrival in October 2024. Mrs. Davis has been a steady support for students, families, and staff. She has helped build the caring and connected environment that has become such an important part of LPS.

Mrs. Davis brings experience in classroom teaching, learning coaching, acting administration, and school leadership. She recently completed the requirements for the Leadership Quality Standard and is currently working toward her Master’s degree. She is passionate about meeting students where they are, supporting the whole child, and celebrating the small wins that help students build confidence and achieve success.

While the close of this year brings many transitions, we are proud of Mrs. Davis and know she will be a wonderful addition to the Bon Accord Community School community. We know many of our families will join us in congratulating her on this exciting opportunity.

With gratitude,

Louise Loh, Principal

Principal/Vice Principal's Message

Dear LPS Families,

We had a fantastic time with Rugby this week at LPS. It was a great experience for all of the students. There was lots of energy, teamwork, laughter, and smiles throughout the activities. Getting active and trying new things is always a big hit at our school, and it was wonderful to see students encouraging one another and having so much fun together.

We will also have the opportunity for even more rugby fun on Thursday, May 28. Students are already looking forward to getting back outside and continuing to build their skills while staying active together.

We have another great week ahead at LPS, including a fun spirit day on Friday with Crazy Hair Day. We cannot wait to see all of the creative hairstyles students come up with.

Please note that there will be no Pre-K on May 28 due to case conferences. Ms. Paige will reach out with times for your child’s conference. If you have any questions or need to make adjustments to your scheduled time, please connect with the school.

As we head into the final weeks of the school year, we are also looking forward to a few upcoming field trips and special activities. This is a reminder that any parents or guardians wishing to volunteer or attend field trips must have a current criminal record check on file. If you are unsure of your status or need assistance with the process, please contact the school office, and we will be happy to help.

Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to many more exciting experiences together before the end of the school year.

With gratitude,

Louise Loh, Principal

Angela Davis, Vice Principal

Connected Moments: Building Strong Kids in Small Ways

At school, we focus on helping students build the skills they need to manage emotions, solve problems, and build positive relationships. Across the division, our Unplugged approach encourages small, intentional moments of connection throughout the day. These same simple strategies at home can help create consistency for children and support their growth in confidence, independence, and resilience.

Connected Moment
Help your child put words to their feelings.

Try This at Home

“You seem frustrated.”
“That didn’t go the way you expected.”
Keep it short and neutral

Why This Matters
When children can name their feelings, they are less likely to act them out. This builds emotional control and improves communication over time.

Staying Connected & Reporting Absences

Please note that our school offices will remain closed until August 18.

Starting August 18, all school-related calls and inquiries can be directed to our Administrative Assistant at Landing Trail School by calling 780-923-2898. This number will now serve as the main contact for all school communication, including urgent matters.

Reporting Student Absences
You can report your child's absence in one of two ways:

Call the school at 780-923-2898, or
Use our new online absence reporting tool:

Simply complete the online form by clicking here: https://forms.gle/XMpTWzG2wEWF7mgS8 – no phone call is required.
A confirmation email will be sent once your child’s absence has been successfully reported.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation as we prepare for the new school year!

💡 Reminders

Parent Group

Thank you for your support over the last four years. We encourage you to join you next school's council next year.

School Council plays an essential role in building strong connections between families and the school. By attending, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Learn more about upcoming events, activities, and initiatives
Share your ideas and perspectives to help shape the school community.
Stay informed about decisions that impact students’ learning and well-being
Connect with other parents and staff who are working together to support our children.

Your voice matters, and your involvement helps create the best possible learning environment for all students. We hope to see you there!

Sturgeon Public Schools is proud to be the first division in Alberta to partner with Unplugged Canada, a parent-led movement that encourages families to delay giving children personal smartphones until at least the age of 14. Waiting can have a profoundly positive impact on children’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
