WEEK AT A GLANCE
October 7-11
Oct 7-11
Monday- Construction set up begins today for the next phase of the gym. Please see the email I've pasted below from last week:
Good afternoon everyone,
I wanted to let folks know that work on the gym is going to resume tomorrow morning. Before the start of school equipment will be gathered into the gym and areas at the back of the school near the septic will be fenced off. Trucks and heavy equipment will be set up in that area outside and for that reason there will be fencing set up to keep kids away. Like we had to with the roof construction we are going to have to change some entrances and exits. Right now it looks like the door that Brenda, Martin, and Sheri use will be out of commission and only to be used by the contractors. Also, the door that the kinders use and Janice will be fine for the kinders to use but the grade 1's will have to use another door to access the building. Janice- I'll take a look at that tomorrow morning and we can decide what works best. I'm not entirely sure right now if we will have to change entrance routines first thing tomorrow morning but I'll know by 8 am and so will be able to figure it out and let you know before bell time.
While this work is happening there is going to be a lot of welding and it is going to be noisy. The hope is that where we have told them they need to set up is an area that creates the least amount of noise for us during instructional time. The gym is going to look awesome that we know..... how long it takes to get awesome and how disruptive this will be for us are the unknowns right now. The company that is doing this work is doing a ton of work across the board and they understand that they need to work with us so that is reassuring.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer them and if I can't I'll reach out to the person who can.
Today is also the first day of Fire Prevention Week- Please note that there will not be any presentations today from the Fire Department. I will let you know once they reschedule. IEPs are due to Janet today.
Tuesday- Allison and Gillian's class are going to the Grand Theatre today. PAC meeting is tonight at 6:30 pm should anyone like to come.
Wednesday- Bricks 4 Kidz today and they will set up in the Resource Centre at first resource. Girls Inc will be here at second break and will also be in the Resource Centre.
Friday- Terry Fox Walk at 10:20 today. The Bubba Bowl is this evening and SHS wanted to ask us to make sure we are not down on the field in the pm.
General Information:
- As forms begin to come back please have a look for students in the school whose parents do not want them to have their picture taken. If you have a student in your class that does not wish to be photographed could you please email us. As of today no one has indicated that they have a child in their class that can't be photographed.
- IEPs should be in to Janet today- October 7th.
- Please remember to send us electronic copies of your newsletters. If it is something that makes sense to go up on the website I'll put it up there.
- Once a week BJ and/or Josh our IT folks will be coming to LPS to go over our Heat tickets. If you have IT issues be sure to let us know so we can have a list of things for them to go over when he comes. We usually know when they come but as things come up their schedule can change. If we know about your tech issues we will make sure he does as well.
- There will be a lockdown this week- I have to coordinate with Bob and the construction crew so please stay tuned. I will let you know when we are doing it.
- Thanks so much for all your input on the PA Day. We will start to embed the information that you gave us into our document soon. As soon as we are done we will send you the link.
