Thank You
We wanted to start off with a huge thank you to all of the Lochside staff and teachers who have done the very best job they can keeping us parents and care-givers connected to and informed about the school during this time when we as parents can’t be around as much as we might have liked.
Being a Good Neighbour
Please don’t forget our good manners when parking around the Lochside Neighbourhood. Always pay attention to parking signs (there are some new ones up - see attached photo), don’t block driveways, fire lanes or hydrants. Most of all, slow down and watch out for pedestrians. All these things help keep our neighbourhood safe.
1000x5 Reading Program
It’s never too early for Spring Cleaning! Please consider decluttering your bookshelves and donating any unneeded picture books to the 1000x5 Children’s Book Recycling Project. Since 2008, Lochside families have donated 7,512 books to the program! Let’s see how many more we can bring in this year!
There is a bin by the office for dropping off books, or even better, send them to school with your child.
