News From the Tiger’s Den - October 13th, 2025

Information for Tiger Families

Dear Tiger Families,

I hope that everyone enjoyed some time with their families over the long weekend. On Friday, the staff spent some time setting the School Achievement Plan goals for the 2025-26 school year. The goals fall under the areas of Literacy, Numeracy and Well Being. We will be finalizing these goals over the coming weeks and will share our plan in November. The afternoon portion of the day was spent on completing Individual Education Plans. Families of students who have IEPs are reminded that the first draft will be coming home on Thursday of this week. The IEP is a working document and we will be continuing to refine and edit them over the coming weeks. You may receive an updated copy with the Progress Reports in November. Families are also encouraged to connect with their child's teacher if they have suggestions or edits to the IEP.

The Limestone District School Board is committed to fostering accessibility and inclusion for all. We are currently developing our next Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and invite feedback from students, staff, families, and community members.

Your input will help ensure our goals reflect the diverse needs and lived experiences across our school communities. Please visit bit.ly/LDSB2025-2029AccessibilityPlan to provide input. The survey is open until November 10, 2025.

On Wednesday, October 8th the Tiger Cross Country Team competed at the Lancaster Race Around the Park hosted by Lancaster Drive PS. We had 21 runners compete and they all had excellent results. Our coaches (Mrs. Carrier and Ms. Young) were very impressed with the hard work and perseverance of all of our Tiger racers. This week the Cross Country Team competes in the Region 1 Cross Country Championships at Fort Henry on Wednesday. Best of luck to our team- GO TIGERS GO!

As always, please reach out to us if you have questions or need support.

Take care,

Krista Esford, Principal
