March 9th-March 13th

Dear Lancaster Families,

It’s hard to believe that we are only one week away from March Break. It has certainly been a long winter, and we are all looking forward to the arrival of spring.

There have been several changes at Lancaster recently, and we remain committed to providing as much consistency as possible for our learners and families. With recent staffing updates, we would like to formally introduce and warmly welcome a few new members to the Lancaster community.

A big welcome to Ms. Scovill and Ms. Billen, who have joined our Primary and Junior divisions. Ms. Scovill joined us following Ms. Dowdell’s retirement at the end of Term One. Ms. Billen will be stepping in for Mrs. Hamilton in the Grade 4 class and supporting Mr Dee's class during the morning math block. In addition, Ms. Forbes has been covering for Madame Bacile.

We were also pleased to welcome Ms. Dew and Ms. Elyea to our Educational Assistant support team.

We would like to extend a special shout-out to our incredible Senior Basketball teams, who both had wonderful seasons. Thank you to Madame Take and Mr. Dee for their time, dedication, and coaching.

Communication remains incredibly important to us. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful week Lions!

Sara O'Hearn and Jennifer Hamilton

Kindergarten Registration and Out of Boundary Registration

Do you have a child ready to start Kindergarten this September? If your child is four- or five-years-old by the end of December (2026), now is the time to register. Limestone offers Kindergarten in both English and French Immersion—where 85% of instruction is in French—plus a strong focus on the core skills of reading, writing, and math. With greater choice in schools and future programming, your child can discover a sense of belonging, while learning the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. For more information, please visit limestone.on.ca/kindergarten.

In Limestone, students may be permitted to attend any school within the board when there is available student space, upon submission and approval of the proper application. Please note only one application per student can be processed; please do not submit more than one application for multiple school locations. If multiple applications are submitted, families will be contacted to select which school application they would like processed, and all other applications will be removed from the system.

The board is not responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area. This applies to both students within Limestone’s geographic boundaries (out of boundary), and students who live outside of those boundaries (out of district). 

To find the name and location of your in-boundary or home school(s), enter the student’s home address into Tri-Board's Locate A School tool.
