Hello Linsford Families,
We hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! A quick reminder that there is no school tomorrow due to the long weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday, May 19.
It was a quiet activity week at our school and it was a great opportunity for students to have a week of learning without outside distractions. The upcoming weeks will be filled with many academic tasks, including the start of PATs for our grade 6 students, as well as other fun activities. As we head into the last few weeks of the school year, it is important for students to balance academic efforts with healthy routines and for them to get plenty of rest.
Last, but not least, if your child is in gr. 3 - 6 and is on the track team, permission forms and fees are due on May 21.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
