WEEKLY UPDATE FROM LIMEHOUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL

November 15, 2024

Kindness, Gratitude and a Growth Mindset



Dear Limehouse Families,

It was a big week of learning at Limehouse. Remembrance Day on Monday, a day for everyone at Mountsberg learning about birds of Prey. Next week is Bullying Prevention week and the Limehouse Engagement Team (LET) has a week of activities planned to help us be our best selves. Next Tuesday is Pink Shirt Day at Limehouse. Thanks to all staff, volunteers and students for continuing to make our school a great place to be!

Next Round of Pizza Lunch:

Pizza for term 2 is going live on November 15th until the 25th. The term will run from December 5th to March 27th and it will be served on Thursdays this next term.

We noticed how many times we had to move Pizza Lunches from Fridays either for school events, trips and even families taking kids out on Fridays. Thursdays are usually very stable on the schedule and highly attended by students. We will reevaluate what happens for the final term.

Weather:

With temperatures still keeping us guessing, winter weather could surprise us any time! To stay prepared, families are encouraged to review the HDSB Inclement Weather Reminders to know how we communicate important updates about school closures and bus cancellations. A printable version of this information is also available. If your child is bused to school, please ensure you know which transportation zone you are located in. Let’s stay connected and safe when wintry conditions arrive!

For JKs and SKs:

Halton Region Public Health - Oral Health Day and Dental Screening

Oral Health Day at our school is Thursday, December 5 th , 2024. A Registered Dental Hygienist from Halton Region Public Health will be conducting dental screening for JK and SK students to assess their oral health. Screening results and information about dental financial assistance programs will be sent home in your child’s backpack. Dental screening does not replace a check-up with a dental provider. If you DO NOT want your child in JK or SK to have a dental screening OR you would like your child in grades 1-8 to have a dental screening, email OralHealthProgram@halton.ca or call 311 and provide your child’s name, date of birth, school, and grade. Exemptions from the dental screening must be received at least 10 business days before the dental screening date.


Santa Breakfast:

Save the Date of Saturday, December 7, from 8-12 for a return of an in-person Santa Breakfast! We will be welcoming everyone to join us here at Limehouse. Santa will be here from 8:30 to 10:30 am!


Charitable Season:

Winter is upon us and this brings our attention to the upcoming winter celebrations!  Although this can be a very exciting time for families, it can also be a difficult time for those who struggle to make ends meet. We at Limehouse P.S. would like to do what we can to make sure that everyone’s holidays are happy. 


We will be holding a Holiday Food and Gift Drive during the coming weeks, beginning at Santa Breakfast. We will be collecting non-perishable foods for the Georgetown Breadbasket. Additionally, we will be looking to support some families in our community. Donations of gift cards, toys, winter accessories and small gifts would be greatly appreciated if you are able to help.  


In order to ensure food and gifts are ready for families in time for the winter break, please send your donations in by Friday, December 16.  You are welcome to bring them into the office during parent/teacher conferences or leave them under the Christmas tree in our lobby at the Santa Breakfast. 


If you have any questions please feel free to contact Tricia Smith at smithtr@hdsb.ca or by calling the school. Thank you in advance for your support and kindness. 


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

Important Upcoming Dates:


Go Lynx!


*School Spirit Days are entirely optional days. There is no pressure or expectation for families to purchase extra things for School Spirit Days. Students are always welcome to wear Limehouse gear on School Spirit Days.
