Dear Lancaster Families
We wanted to provide a few updates to our school community. Staffing season has begun and we have received approval for the organization of our school next year at 17 classes, this is an additional class due to projected student enrollment. We were also able to maintain our support staff allocation of educational assistants who help to support the learning of students in many ways. Please let your classroom teacher know, or contact the school by email or phone, if you anticipate that your family circumstances will change next year. If you have friends or new neighbours who have not yet registered please encourage them to complete their registrations on-line and contact the school if they require further support.
Planting season is almost near! Please be sure to to check out our Plantables fundraiser at plantables.ca and use the code LDPSGROWS. Plants, more mature than seedlings, are delivered right to your door ready to go into your garden or can be sent as a gift to a family member, neighbour or friend.
With thanks and gratitude,
Ms. Fox, Ms. O'Hearn and your Lancaster Team
