Dear LPS Families,

Spring Break is finally here! We hope all of our families enjoy some well-deserved time together. It is a great opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter most. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break, ready for another busy stretch of learning.

When we return, we will be jumping right back into some exciting opportunities for our students. We have a presentation planned that will focus on financial literacy, giving students a chance to learn about money, decision-making, and responsible financial habits in an engaging, age-appropriate way.

Our first week back will also be a short one as we head into the Easter weekend. Even though it will be a shorter week, we are looking forward to making the most of our time together and continuing the great learning happening at LPS.

We wish all of our LPS families a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

With gratitude,

Louise Loh, Principal

Angela Davis, Vice Principal

Tech can help pass the time. Relationships help build the brain.

Why This Matters
Face-to-face interaction supports emotional growth and communication skills.

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.

Teaching Skills for Real Life

Through LSIs, students learn skills such as emotional awareness, perspective-taking, communication, and problem-solving. These skills help students manage conflict, build positive relationships, and navigate challenges not just at school, but in everyday life.

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:
