Harrowsmith PS Weekly Update
February 9th, 2024
March lunches
Please remember to complete the March lunch orders by Monday, February 19th.
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!
Feb 8th Update - The Hysterical History of the Trojan War.
School play update for The Hysterical History of the Trojan War.
We had another great week of rehearsals and our ‘We are Trojans’ song is sounding great! Thanks to parents and guardians for your support, and also for remembering to send your young actor with an extra snack for their after-school rehearsal. With around 50 actors and different rehearsals every day, we are counting on each actor and their parents to see when they are needed at rehearsal. Please refer to our school play website for our rehearsal schedule (including which characters need to be at which rehearsal), and our performance dates and times. This is also where you will find important updates about the play. Don’t forget to bookmark our site: https://thetrojanwarplay2024.weebly.com/
