Principal/Vice Principal's Message

Dear LPS Families,

We had a wonderful week at LPS, and students had a great time participating in Bike Safety. It was a fantastic experience filled with learning, skill-building, and lots of fun. We are proud of how engaged and respectful our students were throughout the activities.

We are also excited to introduce a brand new experience at LPS as we bring Rugby to our school. Students in grades 1-6 will have the opportunity to try this new sport on May 21 and May 28. Please make sure your child comes dressed in clothing they can comfortably move in and has runners suitable for outdoor activities on those days.

We are also looking forward to our second hot lunch of the year this Friday. This time we will be enjoying Panago Pizza, which is always a student favourite.

Lastly, we are excited to announce that Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Ozipko will be moving to Bon Accord Community School for the 2026/2027 school year.

We wish all of our LPS families a wonderful and safe long weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on the 19th.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

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
Keep routines predictable and expectations clear.

Try This at Home

Use simple, consistent routines (morning, after school, bedtime)
Give clear directions instead of repeated reminders
Follow through calmly

Why This Matters
Children do better when they know what to expect. Clear structure reduces stress and helps them take responsibility for their actions.

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.
