Harrowsmith PS Weekly Update

2024/2025 Kindergarten Registration
We are now accepting new student registrations for this September 2024. If your child is four or five by the end of December, now is the time to register.
Kindergarten offers a wonderful new world of learning and growing. We learn how to read, how to write and we make new friends. At Harrowsmith PS, our Kindergarten program helps children get the best possible start in school. Your student will be challenged and encouraged to do their very best.
In Kindergarten classrooms, a teacher and an early childhood educator work together as a team. This partnership helps to create a nurturing learning environment; giving every student the opportunity to learn in the way that is best suited to their individual strengths and needs. Our caring team of educators is with them every step of the way!
We are excited to announce that Limestone District School Board will now be accepting applications for open boundary Kindergarten registrations for the upcoming school year. LDSB encourages students to attend their area school, but we understand selecting the right educational setting for your child is a significant decision.
In accordance with Board policy, by default, students will be enrolled in the school designated within their boundary area, based on their home address. Students may be permitted to attend any school within the board when there is available student space, upon submission and approval of the proper application. The Board will not be held responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area.
We typically welcome new families to orientation events in May of each year. We will share more about these opportunities soon.
We want everyone to see themselves in Limestone. You can feel confident your child will be cared for in a safe and inclusive environment.
We are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Our dedicated staff are here to assist you throughout this process. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact the school.
Let’s embark on this exciting educational journey together!
April to June Milkshakes....JK/SK Ice Cream Cups
The April to June ordering for milkshakes is now open in School Day.
Deadline to order is March 18th, 2024.
Parents of our JK/SK students, we will be switching the Milkshake offering to a smaller ice cream cup like those pictured above. Our hope is that this will reduce the amount of waste that it is occurring now with the larger milk shakes. As well, we are hoping that the smaller portion size will also allow for our younger students to continue to focus on learning. Thank you for your understanding.
Feb 23rd Update - The Hysterical History of the Trojan War.
School play update for The Hysterical History of the Trojan War. Thanks to the energy and dedication of our actors, our rehearsals have been going wonderfully! Our next step is for everyone to be “off book” by Thursday, February 29. This means their lines are memorized and their scripts aren’t in their hands. Impressively, at least half our actors are off book already. What outstanding students we have here at Harrowsmith PS! Another thing to note is that we’ve started to make requests for costume items and certain prop items. Each actor was sent home with a wish list, and we will be posting these items (and more, as they come up) on our website. We don’t need these items right away, but if you have anything on the list that you can spare, then we would be most grateful if you could send them our way over the next few weeks. Don’t forget to bookmark our site so you can check on updates, our rehearsal schedule, announcements, and performance dates: https://thetrojanwarplay2024.weebly.com/ Danielle Harding
