Welcome to our newest QE Knights!

Dear Queen Elizabeth Students and Families, My name is Lisa Thomson and it is my honour and privilege to introduce myself to the Queen Elizabeth School community as your newly appointed Principal. I am thrilled to join this incredible team and community. I look forward to building strong collaborative relationships with the students, families, and staff as we embark on a new school year together. Working together to support student growth, achievement, and well-being is my top priority. My experience as an educator includes working at the Calgary Board of Education for over 17 years with various roles including Principal, Vice-Principal, Mental Health and Well-Being Specialist, Gifted and Talented Learning Leader, Resource, Special Education teacher, and Elementary teacher. My most recent role has been serving the Forest community as Principal of Kinnwood School for the last three years. I look forward to meeting you and joining your vibrant community. Sincerely, Lisa

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Orange Shirt Day – September 30th

In honouring and remembering those impacted by residential schools, LKDSB had commissioned a new orange shirt design in 2021. Orange shirts are available for order by interested staff and students from Team Outfitters, a company in Sarnia. Outfitters has created an online store for LKDSB orders, therefore staff and families will submit payment online directly to Screenart.

The store is open immediately for purchases, and will remain open until Sunday, September 7. All shirts ordered will be delivered to the schools via the board courier by September 29th.

CLASS is thrilled to announce the launch of Chipmunk, a new parent / guardian user-centric bus tracking, delay & cancellation app. It is available free on the app stores, and it replaces the current MySBI app.

Chipmunk provides parents with accurate information about their student's bus route using GPS technology. With Chipmunk, parents will be able to quickly and efficiently access their students’ bus information. Chipmunk allows parents to:

-See the location and travel direction of the school bus on a live map as it makes its way to the specific pickup or drop-off spot – for any of their students.
-Know the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the school bus at their pickup / drop-off stop location. This is especially helpful for those parents who have multiple students on different buses going to different schools. For each student, the ETA is provided in both the number of minutes and actual expected arrival time.
-Receive instant messaging regarding any service delays or cancellations impacting your student's bus route or school to help keep you informed.

Staff, students, and families from Queen Elizabeth and Lansdowne Public Schools came together today for a meaningful Water Walk to raise awareness about the global need for clean water. Students carried copper buckets filled with water, symbolizing the constant movement and precious nature of this vital resource. A special thank-you to Ms. Plain and Ms. George for thoughtfully planning and organizing this powerful cultural experience.

Thank you Lansdowne Public School for sharing. Salad all around.

Join us as we walk for water! Everyone is encouraged to wear blue to represent the spirit of water. Water is life and connects us all. Join our Water Walk on Tuesday, June 3rd at 9:15 a.m., leaving from our south yard. This walk is a step toward reconciliation, respect, and responsibility for the water that sustains us.

Thanks to our language teachers working together to make this month's cooking activity for grade 1 to 8 happen! Authentic Poutine is in fact a Canadian dish invented in Quebec that consists of french fries topped with cheese curds & Poutine gravy. Poutine is now found on menus everywhere and has evolved into a variety of toppings & creations. Thanks Madam Prue & Mrs Plain!!!
