Good morning L.A. Community,
The start of the school year has officially begun! We were so excited to welcome back all your children, see their big smiles and hear their laughter in the hallways yesterday. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of back to school!
Each week, the school will send out a Community Communication every Friday (this week is the exception).This will allow you to prepare for the week ahead and stay “in the know” for all things happening at L.A. If there is ever anything pressing or important to communicate in between, there may be an additional email. However, we know how busy life gets and we will be centralizing our communication efforts in support of balancing lives outside of the school community. All communication sent by the school will also be uploaded to our school website – https://lordaylmer.westernquebec.ca/.

We discuss items such as: budget, fundraisers, school success plans, community events etc.
- Additionally, we will also elect a Parent Committee representative from the Governing Board members. This representative will sit on a School Board Committee, which meets approximately 5 times a year. Furthermore, information regarding the SEAC (Special Education Advisory Committee) will be shared and the parent/guardian representative of a child with special needs (a child with an IEP) will be nominated to sit on the SEAC committee, which meets approximately 5 times a year.
There are FIVE vacant parent/guardian seats up for election. Each seat is a two-year term.
**If you cannot attend the General Assembly and would like to put your name forth for nomination for the Governing Board or Parent Committee you MUST contact Sam Halpin & Hannah Patrick and share your intent to run for election. You will be required to write a letter stating your intention and the reason why you should be nominated. This letter will be read by at the General Assembly during the appropriate election**
