Hello Lakeshore Families,

It looks like winter decided to send us a little snow this past week just to remind us winter is still a thing. Please do what you can to send your Middle-Schooler out the door with a coat. Here are your updates for the week:

 

Lakeshore Overflow Designation

Last week, the Calgary Board of Education informed our school community of overflow plans for Lakeshore. If you missed the messaging, it is available on our website HERE. The CBE message provides direct information or links explaining the whole process if you have any questions.

 

Extended Absence Form

Parents must submit an Extended Absence Form if your child is set to miss more than three consecutive days of school. If your family is set for an extended vacation, please complete and email to lakeshore@cbe.ab.ca.

This event has been moved from January 18 to January 25. The showcase will take place at 5:30 PM prior to the concert, which will start at 6:30 PM.
