Important information regarding our upcoming Family-Teacher Meetings & Structure – please review.
Please see attached memos regarding next week’s strike and school closures
Good Morning L.A. Community,
We hope this email finds you well and enjoying our first snow fall. A short but important update for you today, please see below.
Preschool Report Cards
- For all families of preschool students (four and five-year-old Kindergarten), please note that the Ministry of Education just released a new report card just in time for Term 1.
- Our teaching staff has been a part of training sessions and the report card was just finalized yesterday.
- Therefore, please expect a new format for the Term 1 Report Card, as well as limited comments. This is strictly due to the timing of the rollout of the new report card.
- Therefore, signing up for your child’s Family-Teacher meeting is highly recommended to understand your child’s progress.
- We sincerely appreciate your understanding, and the Preschool Team looks forward to meeting with you.
Remembrance Day & National Indigenous Veterans Day
- Please find attached a memo detailing the events of next week where the L.A. Community will honor those who have served and those who are currently serving.

- Please note a slight change – you will receive communication from your child’s homeroom teacher by November 15, 2023 with regards to process and sign-up.
Photo Retakes
- We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding Photo Retakes. We had been given the flyer previously sent by Photomania regarding the process for retakes.
- Please note that this process is incorrect. Photo retakes will be taking place at the school, date TBD.
