Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest
The Limestone Indigenous Team and Community member Deb St. Amant would like to welcome interested Indigenous parents/caregivers to join them on Tuesday, May 9th from 5:30 – 7 pm at the Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest, 610 Montreal St. . The purpose of this gathering is to engage in discussion about the Indigenous Family Representative position on School Councils. The meeting is open to all former and current reps, as well as those interested in learning more about the position. Parents/caregivers who are not interested in the position but would like to join the gathering are encouraged to join us as well. We will be providing a meal, so please rsvp to rondeaul@limestone.on.ca or gillams@limestone.on.ca if you are able to join us and if you have any dietary restrictions. If you have any questions about the gathering, please reach out.

Class Building
We are in the very early stages of starting to organize for the upcoming school year. This includes staffing (how many classrooms, teacher placements), timetables and new registrations. Our planning also addresses tentative class placements for next year.
The creation of classes is a very complex task that takes into account many factors. When determining placements for next year we consider learning and academic needs, emotional and social needs, friendships, personalities, and class size to name just a few of the factors.
We recognize that, in a few individual cases, there may be important reasons why a specific placement is necessary. In these cases, we request that you submit a written request directly to Mrs. Duncan indicating the reasons for your request. The request should identify the optimal conditions for your child’s success, as this will help to inform class placement decisions.
We will do our best to accommodate your child’s needs but cannot guarantee specific placements at this time. All written requests must be received no later than Friday, May 12th. These can be emailed to duncanm@limestone.on.ca or dropped off at the front office.
Just a friendly reminder that all class lists and placements are tentative until at least the middle of September 2023.
School Council Meeting
