Hello Lakeshore Families,
Happy Sunday! So far, things are going well at Lakeshore in April. Here are your updates for the week ahead:
Bell Time Changes for 2025-2026
Last week, we were informed that our bell times are changing for next year. In the most basic terms, all our current bell times will move up 20 minutes. This means a start time of 8:10 AM, a Monday to Thursday end time of 2:40 PM and a Friday end time of 12:10 PM. This was not a school-based decision but rather a part of a district-wide plan to help meet provincial requirements. Full information can be found HERE.
No Classes Friday and Monday
There are no classes for students on Friday, April 18 (Good Friday) and Monday, April 21 (CBE PD Day). The next Parents Update will come your way next Monday. In advance, we would like to wish a Happy Easter to all those who celebrate.
School Council Meeting – Wednesday at 6 PM
Parents are invited to our School Council meeting on Wednesday at 6 PM at the school. We will be discussing results from our School Planning Survey, planning for fundraising and casino dollars, and previewing our May Annual General Meeting. Please plan to attend.
