Hello Linsford Families,
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our families celebrating this weekend! We hope you enjoy the extra time with your loved ones. Please note that we have a PD day on Tuesday, October 13, and we look forward to welcoming all students back on Wednesday, October 14.
During this season of gratitude, we want to express how thankful we are for our wonderfully supportive parent community. We are equally grateful for our amazing staff, who work tirelessly to overcome challenges, think creatively, and bring joy to our classrooms every single day to build a school community where every student is supported to reach their full potential.
Gentle Reminder: Verification Forms! We are so close to getting these done! Please help us cross the finish line. All students in the Black Gold School Division must have a completed form on file. **Verification Forms are available on your PowerSchool Portal. If you require assistance, please call the office.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles

For World Teacher Day (Oct. 5), we wanted to celebrate the heart of LPS! Our fabulous teachers and amazing support staff work as a united team to provide the best possible programming for our students. They navigate so much behind the scenes to support a great experience for all. THANK YOU for your unwavering dedication to the success of our students!
As a fun example of that incredible teamwork, many of our staff participated in a BGSD school challenge during a recent PD day. Check out our entry below!
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
While at school, we ask that all Halloween costumes follow the guidelines below. We have some very young students in the building and we would like to maintain a happy and safe experience for all. Some costumes can scare our littles . . . Thank you in advance for your support with this! If in doubt, please ask.
