🍎 Exciting News for Student Nutrition! 🍎

We are thrilled to announce that The Ontario Student Nutrition Program – Southwest (OSNP-SW), in partnership with Produce Express, is officially expanding our snack program for the month of March!

Students will have a choice of a "3-food group" snack pack as a weekly enhancement to our regular grab-and-go items! Snack packs are nut-free and made with halal ingredients. This means even more fresh, nutritious options are headed straight to our students to help them power through their school day. 🥕🍌🥦

As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, we wanted to send a quick reminder to those still seeking child care: now is the perfect time to add your child’s name to our official waitlist.

Why Join the List Now?
A viable before-and-after school program needs 13 full-time students. We are getting closer to that goal every single day, and are hopeful that we hit that mark.

By adding your name now, you share the need for care in our community. For those already on the waitlist, thank you for adding your child's name! The Early Learning Centre staff will be calling those on the list to confirm whether you are still in need of care.

We are so grateful for the interest you’ve shown in our school. We can’t wait to reach our goal and explore the opportunity to offer before-and-after school care at Zone!

This 5KM night run/walk (with a 1KM fun run for kids) is a fantastic way to bring students, families, and staff together in support of Noelle’s Gift to Children. This organization continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children throughout our communities.

Let’s keep the momentum going and show just how GREAT our LKDSB schools are!

Last year, LKDSB schools showed incredible community spirit, with teams stepping up in big ways to support students across Chatham-Kent. It was inspiring to see our school communities light up the trail — and we can’t wait to see what this year brings.

We would love for every LKDSB school located in Chatham-Kent to help make the second annual event even bigger and brighter.

Looking forward to seeing LKDSB light up the night once again! ✨

Please be advised that our Grade 3/4 scheduled skating trip for today, Monday, January 19th, has been cancelled.

We have been monitoring the weather forecast closely. Current predictions indicate that the wind chill will drop below the safety threshold set by the Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB).

Why are we cancelling?

LKDSB Policy: The Board’s weather guidelines state that outdoor activities should be modified or cancelled when the wind chill reaches -18°C or colder.

Health & Safety: We are committed to respecting these guidelines to strictly limit the risk of cold exposure and ensure the safety and well-being of all students.

We understand that the students were looking forward to this outing, and we are already working on rescheduling the trip for another day. We will share the new date with you as soon as it is confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our students safe.
