Thanks
Gator Day Out Jan. 30
Don't forget to sign your student up for our Gator Day Out at the Movies! Deadline to sign up is January 24 at noon!
Healthy Hunger Lunches
Our next Healthy Hunger lunch will be on January 17 (Church's Chicken). Make sure to place your order by Sunday, January 12 (midnight).
Use this link to place your order https://healthyhunger.ca/index.php please make sure you know your students Homeroom/TA number before setting up your account as you will need this to create your students profile.
If your child is away and has ordered hot lunch, please email or call the office by 11 am to direct your child's hot lunch. It can be given to a sibling/another student or can be picked up at the office. If we have not heard from anyone by 11am we will determine what to do with the lunch.
Gator Gear
Get your Gator Gear and show your LA spirit! Order through this link & your items will be delivered to Lorne Akins office for you to collect!
Attendance Matters
Parents: If a student will arrive late, they are to sign in at the office. If we have been informed the student will be late, it will be an excused late. Without hearing from a parent, the student would be marked as unexcused and you will receive an automated call from the school informing you of this.
If a student needs to leave early, the office MUST hear from a parent/guardian. Please email or call the office and we will allow the student to sign out & meet you outside (or walk home).
If you have any questions, please ask the office.
