No school today for all TCRCE students.

Hello LES friends! Were still looking for people to help with noon supervision. You can help out with as few or as many days as you can! This is a paid position so you will be paid for your time. Please call the school for more information. Thank you,... Ms. Smyth

Just a reminder to familes that PhysEd and other classes are outside as much as possible. Please send appropriate clothing to school with students. The mornings are getting chillier by the day!

Here is the hot lunch menu for September!

***Pre-Paid Lunches*** In order to eliminate the handling of money at school, families are encouraged to pre-pay for lunches. How does this work?... Families can send any amount of money to school (cash or cheque) and this money will be put on your childs account. When students order meals or drinks (daily or here and there) the total for that day will be taken off the account balance. When your balance gets low you will be informed so you may top up your account if you wish. In the event there is an outstanding balance at the end of the school year, you will receive that money back via cheque. Families who have more than one child in their household can have a "family account" so both children will use the same money. If you would like more information about pre-paid lunches, please give me or Stacey a call in the office. Thank you, Ms. Smyth

Just a reminder that tomorrow is anti bullying day! If you can, wear pink to help us support!

Good morning, LES family! I wanted to send another message about noon supervisors. We would really love to have some friendly faces from the community help supervise children from 11:45 AM-12:45 PM. We are quite stuck right now so if you can even help one day a week, we would appreciate it! Please call the school for more information!... Thank you! Ms. Smyth

Good morning LES families! Please read the Lockeport Elementary Safe Reopening Plan. This plan has been created to help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in our school and help keep students, staff and families safe. Any questions please contact me.... Thank you, Ms. Smyth

Good afternoon everyone and happy Monday! Here at LES we have been working hard planning for the safe reopening of Lockeport Elementary for all students. To help with the planning, we are asking if anyone would be interested in a noon supervisor position (this includes pay for 1 hour)? We need 2 noon supervisors to help out daily from 11:45 AM-12:45 PM and also "spares" for when the regular supervisors are unable to come to the school. ... If you are interested and are able to help or you would like additional information, please call the school directly or reply to this post. Those interested will need to complete a criminal record and child abuse registry check - which can take a couple of weeks so we would like to help you complete this ASAP. Thank you! Ms. Smyth

Reminder to the parents the school is open today until Friday from 8:30 to 2:30 for mask pick up.

Hello LES families. In preparation for the new school year we will be providing every student with 2 reusable, washable masks. Masks can be picked up starting Wednesday, August 26 to Friday August, 28 from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Please remember when entering the school to wear a mask and we ask only one person per household enter the school, making sure to social distance at all times. If you are unable to wear a mask or if you need to bring more than one person please contact the school @ 902-656-7100 and we can make arrangements for pick up outside. If these days and times do not work please contact Stacey at the school to make arrangements.

Just a reminder.

Happy Canada Day! I hope all students have a great day today with their family and friends!

Congratulations Although this may not be how you pictured your graduation we hope you all enjoy your day to the fullest!

Good morning, families! I have delivered student report cards this morning in two different ways: 1. Login to your childs GNSPES page. Once logged in you will see a red envelope with wings called "Post Office". Click that to access the report card for that student.... 2. You SHOULD receive an email with the report card as well. If neither of these methods has worked for you, please get in contact with me and I will make arrangements to have the report card delivered in an alternate way. . . . Thank you and happy Monday!

Between now and June, all students are encouraged to engage and have the opportunity to continue to grow and succeed in their learning and teachers will continue to record evidence of learning.
