As of October 4th, the provincial health office and Ministry of Education announced that masks would be mandated for all students in kindergarten to Grade 12.

Staff will continue to work with students and families in a positive and inclusive way regarding mask wearing. They will work with students to foster proper mask usage including how to wear, take off and store masks.

Thank you for your help with this.

Thank you to our incredible Lakewood families for sending in a Toonie for Terry.

EVERY CHILD MATTERS

Below is a link to The Lakewood Kids “Spring 2021” album. This year each class helped write lyrics to a song on a topic that they voted for. Once the lyrics were written I put them to music and the students worked hard to learn their song in order to record it. As everyone Is aware we were unable to have performances this year. Hopefully this collection of songs can help with that. Please feel free to download the album on Bandcamp for free, lyrics to each song are also included. Enjoy.

Jump Rope for Heart is an organization supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  This is a 25-year tradition at Lakewood in which we have raised $216,174!

This year the campaign is set up so that all fundraising is done online and will run from April 12 – 23. With parent consent, students register online to count their daily EASY healthy habit streak and to set up a fundraising page in order to win prizes. Please go to jumpropeforheart.ca, for all required information.

Like all things this year, the Skip-a-thon will look different from previous years, however we are excited for classes to still be participating. Unfortunately, parents are unable to attend due to COVID restrictions, so please do not come to the school until dismissal time on Friday, April 23^rd.

We will be closing the drop-off-pick-up loop from 12:30pm-2:25pm in order to provide more space for students to safely skip.

2021 sees the start of a new Strategic Plan for the Sooke School District. The Strategic Plan contains the Board of Education’s overall vision and goals that they want the school district to work towards. The Plan is important as it guides decision-making, budget use, and the activities found in the annual Operational Plan.

Between April 1-April 16, SD62 is undertaking a survey with the whole community to gather views on what people think should be our key priorities. We encourage parents/guardians, students, staff and anyone else to provide your views that will help shape our future.

The Strategic Plan Survey is now *live* and can be found HERE
