Good evening Parents/Guardians of the LTJH Community:
Here is a look at the week ahead!
Report Cards
The final day for term 1 is November 21st and report cards will be sent home the following week. Please take the time to talk with your child about how they are doing in their classes and if needed, to reach out to teachers if you need anything before term ends.
Parent Teacher Interviews
Parent/Teacher Interviews will be held on December 5th from 1pm-3pm and 5pm-7pm. The afternoon will be phone appointments only and the evening will be in person. We will send appointment link on November 22 and booking site will go live on November 28th at noon, closing at noon on December 4th.
Inclement Weather
Did you know? HRCE takes great care when making the decision to alter the regular operations of schools and school buses in the event of severe or inclement weather.
It is HRCE’s goal to communicate any changes to the regular operations of schools and/or buses as close to 6:00 a.m.as possible. A 6:00 a.m. announcement could be:
- All schools are delayed in opening by two hours and bus pickups are delayed by two hours; or
- All schools are open, but some or all busses are not operating for the day; or
- Some schools (either individually or by family) are closed for the day; or
- All schools are closed for the day.
If weather deteriorates, or is forecasted to worsen throughout the morning, an 11:00 a.m. announcement could be:
- Bussed students will be picked up two hours earlier than their regular dismissal time; and
- Walking students will be dismissed at their regularly scheduled lunch hour.
How will I find out?
- By email to the addresses in PowerSchool
- By text message, if you have opted-in. If you aren’t sure if you have opted-in, text Y to the following number: 978338
It’s important to always have a plan in place for childcare in the event of any cancellation.
