April 27 – May 3
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are excited to share that our school has been selected as a local recipient of the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign.
This means that cookies purchased at our local Tim Hortons will directly support our school’s nutrition program, helping provide healthy snacks and meals to our students.
Why it matters:
• Many students rely on school nutrition programs each day
• Funds raised stay within our local school community
• Every cookie purchased helps ensure students have access to food to learn and succeed
How you can support:
• Purchase Smile Cookies from April 27 to May 3
• Pre-order cookies using the attached order form
• Share with family and friends
💛 Every cookie makes a difference.
Thank you for supporting our students and helping make this campaign a success in our community.

If school buses are cancelled in any zone across the district on Wednesday, January 28, no exams will be written that day at any LKDSB secondary school.
In this situation, all Period B exams will move to Thursday, January 29.
Please note that Friday, January 30 will remain a PA Day across the district, regardless of weather conditions.
A revised exam schedule for remaining exams —should cancellations occur—will be shared with students and families on Wednesday afternoon (January 28).
We are deeply grateful for the flexibility, patience, and support of our students, staff, and families as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances together.

As you head into your exams over the next few days, I want to take a moment to send you my very best wishes. Exam time can feel busy and sometimes a bit stressful, but it’s also an opportunity to show what you’ve learned, take pride in your growth, and finish this part of the school year strong.
We are proud of the effort, determination, and resilience you bring to your learning every day. Whether this is your first exam period or one of your last before graduation, please remember: you’ve worked hard, you’ve prepared, and you are capable.
To the families and staff supporting our students—thank you. Your encouragement, guidance, and steady presence make a tremendous difference, especially during times like this.
Students, as you move through the week, take care of yourselves. Rest when you can, ask for help if you need it, and trust in the work you’ve put in. We believe in you, and we’re cheering you on.
Good luck!
Gary Girardi

Lambton Kent District School Board

After carefully considering student well-being and a thorough review of multiple factors, the following is the revised exam schedule for Semester 1 for all Lambton Kent District School Board secondary schools.
Period A Exams: Tuesday, January 27
Period B Exams: Wednesday, January 28
Period C Exams: Thursday, January 29
Period D Exams: Monday, February 2
The Secondary PA Day originally scheduled for Friday, January 30 will remain a PA Day as planned.
Accordingly, Semester 2 will now begin on Tuesday, February 3.
This decision was made carefully and intentionally, following a thorough review of operational logistics, and system-wide implications. It was important that the decision be applied consistently across the entire Board to ensure clarity, fairness, and stability for all students, staff, and families.
Maintaining this structure also ensures that students are not required to write two exams in a single day, supporting their well‑being and academic success. In addition, this adjustment reflects what is best for our students and families, many of whom have already made essential arrangements based on the scheduled PA Day.
Thank you to our students, staff, and families for your cooperation, flexibility, and continued support as we work through these adjustments together.

Lambton Kent District School Board
We are currently monitoring a weather system, as reported by Environment Canada, that is projected to bring significant snowfall to the Sarnia-Lambton and Chatham-Kent regions on Sunday, January 25, 2026, with the potential to continue into Monday, January 26, 2026. To support students, families, and staff in planning ahead, the LKDSB is proactively sharing our exam-continuity plan should school buses be cancelled anywhere in the district on Monday, January 26.
Please note: Decisions will NOT be made on a school‑by‑school basis.
If buses are cancelled in any zone within the LKDSB, the entire district will follow the same plan outlined below.
Decision Timing
The decision regarding bus cancellations will be made early Monday morning in collaboration with CLASS Student Transportation Services, our transportation partners.
The outcome will be communicated to all families and staff as soon as it is confirmed.
If Buses Are Cancelled on Monday, January 26, Period A exams will take place on Tuesday, January 27.
The schedule for the remaining Period B, C, and D exams will be shared with all staff, students and families in the afternoon of Monday, January 26th.
We recognize the challenges this may cause and sincerely appreciate the flexibility and readiness of students, families, and staff to adjust as needed during weather‑related disruptions.
Student and staff safety remains our top priority. By sharing this information in advance, we aim to provide families and schools with clear expectations and adequate time to prepare for either scenario.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Good morning,
Our partners at CK Public Health have recently developed several new child immunization resources that may be helpful for your school communities. These are especially timely, as first notices have just been sent out.
Attached, you’ll find a ready-to-use communication with a QR code that links families directly to the Child Immunization information page on the CK Public Health website.
Sharing this graphic with parents—whether through social media, newsletters, the MyLKDSB app, SchoolMessenger, or other channels—may be helpful for families who have received a notice and serve as a helpful reminder for others.
A short informational video has also been added to the Public Health section of the Parent/Guardian Resources page on the LKDSB website and will be reshared through LKDSB social channels. I encourage you to watch the video and share it with office staff who support the immunization and suspension process. It serves as a helpful refresher and learning tool for all.

For your convenience, I’ve copied Sarah Hill, Program Manager at CK Public Health, should you have any questions or require additional support.
Thank you for all that you do to help keep our students safe, healthy, and supported
