Our Junior Girls Volleyball team took home gold and our Junior Boys silver at the U of A Tournament this past weekend.

Earlier than anticipated the 2023/24 Lorne Akins Yearbook has arrived! Current Lorne Akins students were given their yearbooks to take home this week. We have sent an announcement over to Paul Kane & Bellerose advising Grade 10 Gators to come to the office between 9am - 3.30pm to collect their copies.

Once all ordered & paid for yearbooks have been collected we will let everyone know if there are any extras to purchase.

Another work of creativity in Fashions 8 by Claire.

Celebrating our staff summer birthday's...Happy Birthday to Mrs. Campagna, Mrs. Hanson, Mrs. Ruivo, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Dorn, Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Boychuk and Mr. Baba.

If your child will be absent, please email la@spschools.org or call 780-460-3728 (this is 24 hrs and you can leave a voicemail)

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 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.

If you have any questions, please ask the office.

The school serves the neighbourhoods of Akinsdale, Braeside, Erin Ridge, Erin Ridge North, Forest Lawn, Inglewood, Kingswood, Oakmont, Parkwood, Pineview, Regency Heights, Sturgeon Heights, Sturgeon Point Villas and Woodlands.
