IMPORTANT
2026/27 Medical Forms.
A reminder that the LDSB requires medical forms to be completed each school year for medical conditions as well as medications taken at school. In order to make access to these forms easier for families, we have included them on our website. They can be found under the "Our School" tab, Medical forms.
Gino's & Subway Lunches
- October lunch orders are available now on School Day . Deadline to order is September 18th
The remaining months will be added to School Day in the next couple of weeks.
IMPORTANT: If buses are cancelled due to inclement weather, lunch orders will be cancelled that day. A rescheduled day will be sent to families.
Reporting Absences
A reminder to report your child's absence through the Safe Arrival program/app. The following link will provide you with instructions on how to download the app or other options to record the absence: Report My Child's Absence
IMPORTANT: If buses are cancelled due to inclement weather, and your child will not be attending on that day, you must record their absence choosing the "Inclement Weather (all transportation types and walkers)".
Acceptable Use Agreement (aka Computer Use Agreement)
Each year families need to complete the Acceptable Use Agreement as per LDSB policy. Only students from grades 1 to 8 are required to complete the form which is done electronically through School Day. We would ask that you complete this form as soon as possible.
