Welcome to February. We just about managed to get through the cold and snow of January.
Here is some important information that should help to get us through February.
There will be no classes on Monday, February 16, 2009 to reflect the new province-wide statutory holiday called Family Day. The newly created holiday will occur on the third Monday in February of each year for the purpose of emphasizing and celebrating the importance of families taking time to be together. Because teachers are involved in professional learning on February 13 for the Board-wide Professional Activity Day, students will not be attending school on Friday, February 13 and Monday, February 16 which is the statutory holiday - Family Day.Visit the TDSB public web site at www.tdsb.on.ca to view the 2008-2009 school year calendar.
For Board weather-related issues please view my January post.
JK/SK Registration will take place at LKS on both the 11th and 12th of Feb between 8:30 and 4:30pm. For your convenience we will be staying late on the 11th until 8:00pm.
