Hello families of Division 1,

Thanks for a great first week! I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to fill out the survey to help me get to know your child better. If you still haven't filled it out, it helps me immensely to hit the ground running for the school year with their interests and strengths in mind. Please fill it out here if you haven't had the chance yet.

Many of you have been inquiring about the safety protocols in the classroom this week. We are following the BC Ministry of Health and BC CDC, School District #35, and our own Dorothy Peacock Elementary guidelines that would have been sent to you by Mr. Davids and Mrs. Driver in late August/early September. Please search your email for more information on those.

In terms of information that was shared with students, we were provided with a template of slides to speak with them about in their first days of attendance. You can click here to take a look at what we discussed. I recommend speaking with your child about the guidelines to gain more clarity from them on how things are working at the school level. 

If you have any questions about health & safety protocols, please email me and I will do my best to answer them. If there are further concerns, these protocols are managed and maintained by our admin team at the school, and I will pass along any questions that I cannot answer to them. 

Thanks again for a great first week and I'm looking forward to next week! 
Mrs. LS :) 

Hello students, parents, and guardians,

Welcome to our class blog and website! Please bookmark this page as it will be a valuable communication tool throughout this year. I will be posting everything from classroom happenings to weekly reminders and so much more!

I'm sure that we all recognize the turbulent nature of the last six months. Nothing has been certain, consistent, or predictable in almost any of our lives. My goal is to help nurture a feeling of security in our classroom community as students return to school starting September 10th. We will work together to make our community as safe and as clean as we possibly can, and to help students feel that sense of belonging, connection, and care that each of them deserve to have. Undoubtedly, learning will look different this year than it did last year. 

Early this year, my goal is to integrate digital communications tools to make the home-school relationship as seamless as possible, particularly if we are forced back into a remote learning situation. Students will be learning to use tools effectively and appropriately with mindful digital citizenship at the forefront of their learning.

We will be using several web-based learning options other than this site in our class this year. There will also be several ways to communicate and connect with our class, and to keep up with what we’re doing each day. Feel free to click the social media buttons at the top of this page to explore our "Learn with LS" social media profiles and pages. Be sure to follow and like our pages on the social media you use most in order to keep up with what is going on in Division 1! You don't have to follow them all; just the ones you use.  

After following or liking our various social media accounts, it would be very helpful for you to fill out this short survey about your child. It will help me to get to know them better and get us off to a great start to the school year!

I am looking forward to connecting, working, and learning with each of you!
-Mrs. LS
