Good evening parents and guardians of the LTJH community,
Please take some time to read and review:
Help Support LT Families This Holiday Season 🎁
The holiday season can be a difficult time for some families in our community. Each year, Leslie Thomas Junior High provides support to school families who are facing financial challenges during the holidays.
If you would like to contribute, donations can be made through SchoolCash Online under “Holiday Family Support Donations.” Funds collected will be used to provide grocery cards, essentials, and small gifts to LT families in need.
Your kindness will help make the season a little brighter for those who could use some extra care this year.
💛 Thank you for your generosity and community spirit.
Parent Teacher Conferences
We will have Parent Teacher Conferences on December 4th 1-3pm (phone calls only) and 5-7pm (in person). They will take place in the gym. On December 1st our school link will go live for you to sign up for the teachers you would like to see or call. The link will expire on December 3rd at 5pm. We will send the link on November 28th with our regular communication home.
Weather Related Notifications
Parents/guardians in HRCE whose contact information is up to date in PowerSchool will automatically be subscribed to weather related notifications. Anyone else who wishes to receive school cancellations due to inclement weather by text message, must opt-in (according to Canadian Anti-Spam laws, we can’t automatically include you) via the HRCE website. This may include staff members, community members, grandparents, partners, daycare operators, etc. If you know someone who would like to receive cancellation text notifications, please let them know how to opt-in.
If you are a parent/guardian in HRCE, and your cell phone number(s) are in PowerSchool, you do not need to opt-in through our website. If you aren’t sure if you’ve already opted-in, text Y to the following number: 978338
If you are NOT a parent/guardian in HRCE, and you wish to receive school cancellation notifications due to inclement weather, you must opt-in through our website in an easy two-step process, outlined here. Why? Our text message feature is connected to contacts in PowerSchool.
To receive an email notification about school cancellations, you can do that on the same webpage.
Please note: If you signed up last year, you do not need to sign up again.
Visit our website to learn more about how HRCE makes the decision to change the operations of the school day due to inclement weather.
Dressing for the Weather
As the cooler weather approaches, please remind your student(s) to dress warmer and think about layers. At LT we go outside for lunch and recess. The only time we stay inside is when it is raining. Thank you for your attention to this.
Also, students are reminded that teacher supervision does not start until 8:50am. Try to drop students off between 8:50 and 9:05am. We will usually let students in the building if it is raining, but not until 8:50am when we have appropriate supervision available.
