Hello Linsford families,

Despite our spring weather turning to some very wintery conditions, we had a great week! The highlight, of course, was our family dance. Thank you to everyone who braved the winter storm to come out this fun family evening. You can see some photos and a video later in this post.

All families in grade 1-6 should have received information regarding swimming lessons. You can read all the details IN THIS PARENT INFORMATION LETTER. There are two deadlines to note. The first is April 7 to fill out THIS FORM to let us know your child's swimming level. The second deadline, April 15, is for the permission form and fee to be completed on PowerSchool. The pool requires student numbers and information a few weeks in advance for planning purposes, so deadlines are very firm. If your child is unable to attend for any reason, a water safety package will be provided for them to complete.

We would like to wish everyone a wonderful spring break! School resumes on Monday, April 7th.

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles

LPS Admin Team
