School Reminders:
- Make it Sow Fundraiser – place your order before March 17. Visit the School Council page for ordering information.
- Students should not be arriving prior to 8:15am since there is NO supervision.
- With the ever-changing weather this winter, please ensure that your child is sent to school dressed appropriately for outdoor recess and the weather of the day. Extra socks and pants are often a good idea to send to school in the winter months.
- Parents/guardians/caregivers should not park in the school parking lot, this is for staff parking only.
- There can be absolutely no parking or dropping off/picking up of students, in the parking area by the caretaker’s entrance (by the garbage bins) off Willow Heights Blvd.
- Please do NOT send your child to school if they are sick or feeling unwell.
- Students should not be bringing sports equipment from home to play with at recess (e.g., basketballs). When safe to do so, students are able to bring school equipment outside to play with that has been purchased from board-approved vendors.
High Seas Musical Production
After months of rehearsals, our High Seas cast and crew were able to showcase their hard work and talent for four audiences. Thank you to all of the students, families and community members who came to the evening performances to support our students and staff. The students also performed for the Primary Division from Ashton Meadows P.S. and our own LAPS students during matinee performances on Wednesday and Friday.
A huge thank you is extended to all of the staff who supported the musical and put in countless hours of their own time to ensure a wonderful experience for all. From set design and creation to lighting and sound, to costumes, to choreography, to promotion and communication, and of course, the rehearsals to help students learn the lines and songs for the production – it truly did take a village to ensure the success of this year’s musical.
We are SO very proud of our students and staff (including all of our students who supported by being a great audience). Congratulations!
Congratulations to our Robotics Team
