Information for Tiger Families
Dear Tiger Families,
On Wednesday, October 15th the Tiger Cross Country Team competed at the LDSB Region 2 Cross Country Meet. We had 32 runners compete and they all had AMAZING results. Our coaches (Mrs. Carrier and Ms. Young) were very impressed with how our Tiger racers attacked the hills at Fort Henry. Addison placed 10th overall in the Bantam Girls division and was our top finisher. Congratulations to Addison, Hannah, Benny, Van and Gwen who all qualified in the top 30 in their division. These five Tiger runners will participate in the LDSB Cross Country Championship race at Fort Henry on October 22nd. GO TIGERS!
In case you missed this last week, 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.
Finally, we have noticed an increase in the number of absences from school this year. The expectation from the Ministry of Education is that we set a goal to ensure that students do not miss more than 10% of the school year (approximately 18 school days). We will be reaching out to families of students who have missed a significant number of school days already this year and are not yet on track to meet the goal of less than 18 days missed over the course of the school year. We are here to help ensure your children are at school regularly and on time. Please reach out to us if you are struggling with attendance and we can help problem solve with you.
As always, please reach out to us if you have questions or need support.
Take care,
Krista Esford, Principal
