Hello Lakeshore Families,
Thank you for taking the time to visit with us last Thursday and Friday. Our teachers appreciate the support and kindness of our community. Here are the updates you need for the first week of December:
Photo Retakes Tomorrow – Monday, December 1
All students who missed our photo day will be asked to have their photo taken at our retake day. If your child had photos, and you would like them to have their photo retaken, please email lakeshore@cbe.ab.ca and our office staff will ensure this is done.
School Improvement Results Report
Our SIRR for the 2024-2025 is now available for parents to view online. The report can be found HERE.
School Development Plan
The School Development Plan expresses our academic and well-being goals. Lakeshore’s SDP for the current school year is available HERE.
Book Fair This Week
The Owl’s Nest book fair will be at Lakeshore throughout the week. Students are invited to visit the Book Fair to review and purchase books, which have a stronger emphasis on the tastes of Middle School learners. Preview the selection HERE.
Winter Weather Protocols
Our routines and times continue consistently throughout the winter months. Students are invited in beginning at 8:00 AM and 12:41 PM after lunch – 10 and 5 minutes before instruction. Grade 6 students are supervised in school for the first part of lunch and then supervised outside during the second half. Grade 7-9 students are provided with a supervised indoor space to eat for the first half of lunch and asked to go outside for the second half (the areas around the school are supervised). When the recorded weather reaches -20 degrees (windchill included), Grade 6 students will remain inside and a supervised space for Grade 7-9 students will be provided. There are many club opportunities for students which take place over the lunch period and a comprehensive list will be made available to students and parents very soon. Students should always be winter ready and prepared to be outside. View the CBE message on winter weather HERE.
