Grade One Games Club
Thank you to Ms. Younger and Ms. Olson for starting the Grade One Games Club being held on Thursdays at lunch.
GROW World
A BIG THANK YOU to the parent council for funding GROW World for all our students at LKS.
This was the second performance from Grow Interactive Learning and we all had a fantastic time learning with our guests about Respect, Responsibility and Right Choices. The students were engaged in meaningful collaboration and activities that build confidence and leadership while instilling a sense of inter-connectivity. We look forward to Grow Heroes next year!

Bully Awareness Week
Ontario has designated the week beginning on the third Sunday of November as Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week to help promote safe schools and a positive learning environment. At our school we use this week to highlight initiatives that promote a positive school climate and celebrate the outstanding partnerships and programs that promote harmony and respect in our schools.
A caring, safe, inclusive and accepting school climate is essential for student achievement and well-being. For students to reach their full potential, students must feel safe, included and engaged in schools. All of us have a part to play in making and keeping schools safe. By working together, we can provide learning environments that are caring, safe, accepting, respectful and inclusive, where students can acquire the knowledge, skills and values they need to become responsible members of their communities. As a staff we will be looking at the School Climate Survey to inform our next steps.
To learn more about the bullying prevention programs that we offer, and the TDSB Caring and Safe Schools Policy and the Bullying Prevention and Intervention Procedure, visit http://www.tdsb.on.ca/safeschools.

Crossing Guard Changes
Steve, our regular crossing guard at Prince Edward and Government, will not be returning this school year and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. We are very thankful for his dedication to keeping our students safe.
This is a busy intersection. The new crossing guard will be starting October 1st. Until that time, we strongly encourage you to cross with Bob a bit closer to the front entrance.

Welcome to a New School Year!
The first day of school is filled with such an incredible array of emotions and feelings for everyone. Some students are so excited to be starting a new adventure while some students are nervous and unsure of the unknown. Parents and teachers share these feelings and we are all looking forward to watching our students learn and grow both academically and socially. The LKS community is exceptionally supportive of one another and the school and I continue to be proud to be a part of it. We have a number of exciting things planned for the students this year and the staff have worked incredibly hard to set up the classrooms to provided a warm, nurturing and safe learning environment.
Students will be bringing home a package of information and we request that you take the time to read the information as well as the information found on our website and more specifically, the forms found at http://schoolweb.tdsb.on.ca/lambtonkingsway/SchoolForms.aspx. We ask that you sign and return the signature page after you have read all the information.
Students in grades 6-8 are reminded that they need permission to leave school property at lunch time. They are welcome to eat in the class but must sign out if they are leaving school property after they eat. Parents must give permission on the signature page.
