Happy Short Week!

Remember that tomorrow is Family Day, and there is no school! Have a wonderful day, and enjoy all the new snow that has come in the last week!

Choices at 7

Attention Grade 6 students - Please remember that the LaSalle Open House that was cancelled on Thursday February 13th due to the bus cancellations is RESCHEDULED for Thursday February 20th!

Snowfort Woes

With all this amazing snow comes the building of amazing creations, including some spectacular snow forts. Unfortunately, yard supervisors and staff have noticed an increase in issues arising from students building, stealing snow blocks from, and destroying snow forts. We are asking that parents please talk with their students about being a respectful builder and thoughtful around the hard work that others are placing into creating their own snow forts. This is happening with students from grade 1-6. Thank you!

Get involved with Maple!

We have lots of great clubs and practices happening at Maple this week! Thanks for all the educators who are helping support extra-curriculars! We have handwork club, badminton club, games club, play rehearsal, and book club happening now at Ecole Maple!

Enjoy the long weekend!

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.

Please see the link below for contest details

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.
