WEEKLY UPDATE FROM LIMEHOUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL
December 20, 2024
Kindness, Gratitude and a Growth Mindset
Dear Limehouse Families,
After a busy four months of learning we are ready for a holiday break. I would like to thank all of the teachers and staff for their hard work in making learning engaging and fun. As the holiday season unfolds, let us take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this time. It is a reminder of the importance of family, friendship, and gratitude. May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories that will warm your heart for years to come.
We wish all of our students and families the very best for the holidays and all good wishes for a Happy New Year!
Early Dismissal Friday December 20
On the last day of classes prior to the winter holidays, the HDSB decreases the instructional day for all schools by 90 minutes; which would equate to 70% of a regular schedule. At Limehouse, we will dismiss at 1:30 pm and supervision will end at 1:45 pm.
The two nutrition breaks remain at 50 and 40 minutes respectively.
Each period in the day will be shortened so that it would be 70% of a regular schedule. There will be 210 minutes of instruction rather than the usual 300.
Therefore our day looks like this:
Morning Entry: 8:30 - Regular Start time
Dismissal: 1:30
Supervision Ends: 1:45 - All Buses departed
Charitable Season:
Thank you to all for the generosity shown to our Limehouse Community! Clothing items have been shared with the Halton Police and our own Caring Closet. Food items have been shared with the Georgetown Breadbasket food bank. Toys have been shared with Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation for distribution to children in hospital
