The countdown to spring is on…three days to go! It is so hard to believe

how fast the school year has gone. As I write this, I am reflecting on the 106

report cards that I just read. I am so impressed with the growth of students

and all the activities that classrooms have been accomplishing. I would like

to thank the students for their continued hard work and look forward to

reading about the progress they make in the last stretch! I would also like to

acknowledge all the teachers; the time and diligence they put into each

report card demonstrates how much they care and are passionate about

their students.

The term 2 Student-Led Conferences at LCS are being held this week.

Student-Led conferencing provides students an opportunity to conduct

formal conferences with their parents/guardians. Students display their

schoolwork, discuss their academic and educational goals, as well as the

strategies they will use to meet those goals. This process allows

students/parents/guardians and teachers to be actively involved in each

student’s learning. We look forward to seeing you at the conferences!

This time of year, we also ask all parents/guardians, students and

teachers to answer the “Our School” Tell Them From Me survey. The data

from these surveys help us to understand different views and provides us with

information on how we can work together as a team to provide the best

educational experiences for our students at Lafleche Central School.

Please take some time to complete this survey. Your voice is very important

to us. Please see more information further in this newsletter.

We are already making plans for the next school year. We would like to

remind parents who have a child(ren) eligible for Kindergarten in 2016-17 to

please register before the end of March. Knowing how many students we

have will assist us in making staffing decisions.

In the past few weeks, we had a lot of cold and flu germs spreading

throughout our school. We would like to remind parents/guardians to please

contact the school when their child(ren) will be absent and to please not

send medication of any kind with your child to school. We cannot have

over-the-counter or prescription medication on buses, in desks, lockers,

lunch boxes, etc. Having medicines out in the open poses a threat to all

students. Staff are not allowed to administer any medication without the

proper signed documentation. See the Medication policy in our school

handbook for more information.

Next week we are hosting our annual Seniors’ Tea. Staff and students are

already preparing for this special event. It will be a great celebration to

have just before our Easter/spring break!

SENIOR BADMINTON

We have had a very successful start to our

great improvement since we began a few

weeks ago. We have worked on the skills

of serving, drop shots and birdie

placement and will be focusing on

smashes next week. Last weekend the

athletes travelled to Mankota for the

Mankota/Kincaid fun tournament. It was a

great weekend. Thank you to these host

very, very well. Congratulations to Brady

and Ashley who made it to the playoffs in

their respective singles pools. Also,

congratulations to the teams of Keegan
