Dear Families,

Thank you for an amazing year full of learning, growth, exploration and fun. We are infinitely thankful for our Joyceville students, families, staff and community!

Please note that all LDSB School Offices are closed between July 10th-August 25th. Our office will re-open on Monday August 28th, and our first day of school will be on Tuesday September 5, 2023!

We wish you a wonderful summer and we are already looking forward to the 2023/24 school year ahead!

Ticks

Unfortunately the nice weather also brings out ticks. Please review information from KFLA regarding ticks and lyme disease in our area and be vigilant about checking your child each day.
