School Council and PAS Meeting - Tuesday
On Tuesday, March 4 we will be having our next School Council and Parent Action Society meetings starting at 6:30. An email was sent out to all parents with links to the agendas.
During the School Council meeting we will be reviewing our proposed school fees for the 25-26 school year. Thank you to everyone who was able to fill out our Parent Fee Survey. Feedback indicated that the vast majority of parents are content with our current fees. Moving forward our plan is to keep fees the same or charge less in areas where we can cut costs.
In the Parent Action Society meeting we will be discussing ideas for ways to spend the casino money that was raised last year before voting in the April meeting.
We would love to see many parents attend both meetings! This is a great way to be engaged in your child's school!

Pass the Mic: Let's Talk About Racism
Lakeland Ridge has been working with the Canadian Museum of Human Rights (CMHR) to support teaching and learning about racism. In January Sarah Adomako-Ansah from CMHR presented to all staff about resources, lessons and tools for guiding safe and meaningful dialogue around racism. Students in Grades 6-9 will be engaging in conversations about racism, microagressions and anti-racism during health classes. Below is a link to the Pass the Mic: Let's Talk About Racism.

Parent Session - Managing Anxiety
We are excited to host this interactive and information session for parents. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP below. Childcare will be provided on site (must request upon RSVP).
Weekly Regulation Practice - Share Your Happy
As students leave their Block 4 class on Wednesday, they will be asked to "share their happy" for the day by writing one thing that made them happy on a sticky note and sharing it with a classmate.
Why? Our brains have a negative bias. Having negative thoughts "stick" in your brain more than the good thoughts is normal! If we feel like we are getting stuck in a negative thought pattern, we have to intentionally grab onto positive thoughts. The more positive thoughts we grab, the less chance of those negative thoughts taking over. No matter how bad a day has been, we can always grab onto something positive!
All of the regulation strategies we’ve been practicing this year can be found on our school website.
