April 2010

The past 2 months have been great and very busy! I am very fortunate to be working in a great school, with super staff, and a very supportive community.

Feel free to check my blog monthly for updates and current information. I will update more often, if needed, but post my monthly update the last week of the month.

LKS is enjoying Earth Week. Ms. Perry and the Eco Schools Committee have planned a great week! Please visit my Eco Blog link for more details. I am also looking forward to accompanying the Senior Eco Warriors to the Green Living Show this Friday.

We have been very lucky to have 4 Teacher Candidates from OISE and Lakehead University. They have been well received by the staff and students.

The school IT committee is working hard to develop a plan for implementing Technology throughout the school. Currently, several teachers are using SMART boards; a wonderful interactive teaching tool.

From a safety standpoint, I have begun working collaboratively with teachers, parents and students to revise the school Behaviour Code. The revised Behaviour Code will align with Ministry and TDSB policy, and once updated, will be on display in the main entrance and included in the student planners for next year.

I am also in the process of working with the TDSB Safe and Caring Schools Safety Infrastructure Committee to look at updating our security system.
