It has been a great start to the school year at Landmark Elementary. The students are learning the routines and getting used to being back at school. We had our first assembly for the year and have completed two fire drills.

Strong Connections for Grade One to Six students will occur on Friday, September 13th, and Monday, September 16th. For Strong Connections, half of our students will attend school on September 13th and half on September 16th. You should have received an email with the date your child is to attend school and the date they will stay home. Please contact the school at 204-355-4663 or les@hsd.ca if you have any questions.

Kindergarten students are not part of Strong Connections and will attend school on Friday and Monday.

PTA – Parent Teacher Association

The PTA will hold its yearly Annual General Meeting on Monday, September 23rd, at 6:00 at Landmark Collegiate. At the AGM, Landmark Elementary, Landmark Collegiate and the PTA will present reports that include priorities for the upcoming school year.

The PTA is a committee representing Landmark Elementary School and Landmark Collegiate. It consists of the principals, teachers from both schools, and parent representatives. The PTA is looking for parents or guardians to join its committee. If you are interested, please contact the schools or email landmarkpta@gmail.com. Joining the PTA is an excellent way to engage in your child’s education.

Thank you to last year’s PTA members: Ang Kroeker, Stephanie Reimer, Tina Plett, Amy Ndahayo, and Alea Elliot. A special thank you to Ang Kroeker, who will not return as a PTA member. We have appreciated her commitment to the schools as she served on the PTA for the past eight years.
