If you have multiple children you will need to make multiple appointments. Prior to coming to the school, each student and family member will need to screen for Covid symptoms.
This will also be a brief opportunity for the students and the teachers to see each other and say good-bye after a year that has challenged every member of the LKS learning community to be the best they can be under unusual circumstances. We are very proud of our students, teachers and parents for striving to make the best out of this challenging time. If you have borrowed a computer from the school, you can either return it on this day or you can drop it off with our office staff any day from June 28th to June 30th.
Here are a few things to remember:
- Complete the TDSB Health Screening prior to coming to school
- Arrive no more than 5 minutes before your appointment time
- Wear a mask at all times and respect physical distance requirements (maintain 2 metre distance)
- Use the front entrance to the school near the parking lot
- Check-In with the teacher at your labelled table
- Go directly to your classroom (a maximum of 2 students and 1 parent each permitted in the class at a time)
- Use hand sanitizer upon entry
- Exit the building on the north side – Government Road
- Check out with a staff member
Grade 8 students will have an opportunity to drop off items, collect belongings and say goodbye to their homeroom teachers outside on Friday, June 25. Grade 8 students will need to adhere to the Toronto Public Health guidelines a remain in groups of less than 10 including the teachers. A separate schedule will be made available for the Grade 8 students.
Return of Technology: If your child has borrowed a laptop device from the school to access remote learning, please remember that all devices and charging cords need to be returned to the school by June 30th. The school will be open for return of devices from June 21 – 30. If you no longer need the items you can return them on June 23rd when you are picking up student belongings.
Happy Father’s Day: Sunday, June 20th is Father’s Day. We wish all fathers in our Lambton-Kingsway family, a very happy day. Research tells us that one of the most important sources of support for children and students is the support of their family. We hope all fathers are able to rest and relax on this day.

Report Card Delivery: Last week the TDSB sent a message to all families indicating that student second term report cards would be delivered electronically beginning on June 24. Please note that TDSB has to deliver over 250,000 reports by email which means the process usually takes a number of days to complete. Here is a link to the TDSB message to parents about the delivery of reports.

Are You Moving?: Our 2020-2021 school year is almost finished and we are beginning our planning for the 2021–2022 school year.
