SCS 2024 Banner.png

The Ontario Ministry of Education asks all school boards in Ontario to conduct an anonymous school climate survey on a regular basis so boards of education can help schools:

  • Assess perceptions of safety, mental health and well-being – from students, parents and school staff; 
  • Make informed planning decisions about programs to help prevent bullying and promote safe and inclusive schools; 
  • Determine the effectiveness of their programs on an ongoing basis; and 
  • Build and sustain a positive school climate. 
  • Continue to build parent voice/participation in survey 

Lambton Kent District School Board's 2024 School Climate Surveys will be open from Thursday, March 21st until Friday, April 5th. The results of these surveys will be used by our Safe Schools team, as well as by the Board.

Parent's Guide to Ontario's Education System

​The Ministry of Education has launched the Parent's Guide to Ontario's Education System. 

This new resource will provide parents with helpful information that allows them to have a stronger role and actively participate in their children's education. The guide covers a number of subjects such as knowing how their child is doing in school, learning about suspension and expulsion processes, attending a school council meeting or parent involvement committee meeting, and knowing about specialized supports to help all children succeed.

This initiative is part of the government's recent efforts to increase transparency and accountability in our school system.​

The full guide, translated into 10 different languages, can be found on our Parent/Guardian Resource page: Parent/Guardian Resources - Lambton Kent District School Board (lkdsb.net)

April PD Day Rescheduled Due to Total Solar Eclipse

After significant and thoughtful consultation with local emergency service partners and public health units, Lambton Kent District School Board and St. Clair Catholic District School Board have made the decision to change the Professional Activity Day scheduled for Friday, April 26, 2024, to Monday, April 8, 2024. 

The decision is due to the number of direct safety concerns associated with the total solar eclipse, which will affect the region The decision is due to the number of direct safety concerns associated with the total solar eclipse, which will affect the region between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30pm on Monday, April 8, 2024. 

Solar eclipses and similar natural environmental occurrences have, historically, resulted in a large number of tourists visiting the area. This poses a significant number of safety issues for our students and bus drivers who will be leaving schools and travelling on the roads during the time of the eclipse. We recognize the incredible experiential learning opportunity associated with viewing the solar eclipse, and if our staff, students or families choose to participate in this activity, we encourage them to do so safely. Looking directly at a total solar eclipse can be dangerous due to the intense sunlight that is still present even when the moon is blocking part of or all of the sun. The sun's rays can cause permanent and irreversible damage to the eyes. Regular sunglasses are not sufficient for looking at a solar eclipse as they do not block the harmful solar radiation.

More information regarding safety and the solar eclipse is available from the Canadian Association of Optometrists. For more information about the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse, visit NASA Science and Canada Space.com

As always, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We apologize​ for any inconvenience that comes as a result of the schedule alteration.
