Crossing Guard Update

Bob, our crossing guard, is scheduled to be back on November 17.  He is doing well and slowly recovering.  Until his return, we hope to continue having a replacement, as we have had this week.

Crossing Guard

The LKS staff and community wish Bob, our crossing guard, a speedy recovery.  He has a broken foot and will hopefully return in the next few weeks. 

Photo Retake Day / Sibling Photo Day

Reminder:  On Thursday November 4th the school photographer is coming to take photos of those students who were away for the original photo day as well as to take sibling photos.

Parent Council Meeting - October

At yesterday's parent council meeting a group of parents from our Health Education Committee played an audio clip about Sabrina's Law and discussed Anaphylaxis.  This was a very powerful message about not only Peanut and Tree Nut allergies, but all other life-threatening allergies.

Here is a link to the LKS website Anaphylaxis page.  Anaphylaxis

Also, the new TDSB reporting procedures were discussed.  Here is a link for more information on reporting and the new Ministry of Education Growing Success Document.

Toronto Police Services - News Release

Parents and Community members,

Toronto Police Services often brings to the attention of local Elementary schools News Releases affecting the surrounding area.  This is customary and not intended to create panic.  As such, we have been notified of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in a residential apartment building in the Dundas Street West/Royal York Road area.

LKS teachers and staff regularly speak with our students about safety, and will discretely review safety tips once again in an age-appropriate manner.  In addition, I have attached three files below regarding streetprofing tips, child safety and personal safety.
