The season of illnesses is upon us. We are sharing Halton Health’s Periods of exclusion with you so you can help everyone stay healthy throughout the school year. Please note the period of exclusion for vomiting and diarrhea is 48 hours after symptoms stop before returning to school.
Halton Health Periods of Exclusion
Help Your Child Stay Safe Online
October is K–12 Cyber Awareness Month!
As digital technologies and artificial intelligence become a bigger part of our children’s lives, it's more important than ever to help kids build safe online habits. By learning how to spot scams, protect personal information and think critically online, families can reduce the risk of cyber threats and create safer digital spaces for everyone – especially their children.
The K–12 Cyber Awareness parent guide and website offer free, age-appropriate resources to support these conversations at home.
Parking Lot Safety Reminder
For those who drive to school in the mornings, we kindly ask that you walk your children from the car to the stairs.
This small step plays a big role in keeping everyone safe. Our parking lot can be busy and unpredictable during drop-off times, with many vehicles, pedestrians, and young children moving around at once. By walking your child to the stairs, you help ensure they are safely guided through the lot, avoid potential hazards, and model safe behavior for others.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe environment for all students.
2025-2026 School Year - Lunch Supervisors and Transportation Supervisors
We continue to be short staffed in the mornings before school. As such the transportation supervisors move to the back of the school once all the morning buses have arrived. If you are dropping off students before 8:30 and don’t see anyone at the bottom (or top) of the stairs you may have to walk them up or you can choose to let them come up on their own or with older students. If the time has passed 8:30, all staff are inside working with students. If you are late please either call the office and your child will be greeted at the top of the stairs, at the main door or walk them up. The doors are locked for safety at 8:30 am. 905.873.6354
Limehouse PS is urgently looking for a morning transportation Supervisor. The role is quite simple; greet students as they disembark buses and ensure they make it up the stairs. Also greet students who are dropped off by car and ensure they make it up the stairs. The role is from 7:45 to 8:45 daily and is a paid position.
Limehouse is looking to add names to our list of on-call Lunch and Transportation Supervisors.
If you or someone you know might be interested and able to obtain a police background check with vulnerable sector screening please contact Mr. Jones at the School.
