“Ticks in the Community:
As the presence of ticks is on the rise in Southern Ontario, we wanted to give you information from the Public Health Department on managing and living with Ticks in the community. Public Health has made a Fact Sheet available on their website: HE-tick-id-card-fact-sheet.pdf (halton.ca). Health Canada has also recently posted new resources on blacklegged ticks on their website. There are videos, posters, games that can help you and your children know more about managing these pests”.
Limehouse Talent Show
Limehouse's Talent Show is returning again this year! Mrs. Smith will be meeting with interested students on Tuesday and forms will be coming home with more information. The show will be on Friday, May 16 at 11:00am. Looking forward to showcasing Limehouse Lynx's many talents!
It’s Hearing and Vision Screening time!
Our Screening Clinic Date is Tuesday May 20, 2025
School Screening Association will be visiting Limehouse PS to conduct a hearing and vision clinic.
Your child’s Hearing and Vision should be screened every year.
Growing children are very susceptible to middle ear problems and one of the best ways to prevent hearing loss is early detection of middle ear function issues. Our screening program will help identify possible hearing or vision issues. As part of the program we will refer any results that are not deemed normal to the parents for further testing.
To have further testing done, you can speak to your child’s optometrist for vision or physician for hearing to ask for a referral to a Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist (Otolaryngologist) – this service is covered by OHIP.
Note: For hearing, if you prefer you can make an appointment with an Audiologist – referral by your family physician is not required. However, if the Audiologist is not in a hospital clinic, the visit may not be covered
by OHIP and a fee upwards of $95 may be charged.
Your child’s hearing is not being monitored unless they are being seen by an Audiologist or an E.N.T.
Eye examinations are covered by OHIP, however, we provide a basic vision screening for students participating in this hearing clinic.
Please Note,
Vision screening will not be conducted on children with prescribed glasses, contacts and/or eye patches
We do not provide Vision Only Screening
A fee of $20.00 is collected to help offset the cost of bringing this clinic to our school. Permission forms will be sent home separately.
Spongebob the Musical!
On Friday May 23, we will be going to Milton Performing Arts Centre to see Spongebob the Musical. This will be a no cost trip because we have had a successful fundraising year of Pizza Lunches. More details to follow!
