School Update 

To the students and families of LRD, 

This week, we would like to highlight our ongoing character education focus on Respect. Over the past little while, Mr. Laidlaw and Ms. Robinson have had the opportunity to visit all classrooms to share a story and engage students in meaningful conversations about the importance of showing respect. Throughout these visits, it was wonderful to hear students share their understanding of what respect looks like, sounds like, and feels like in our school community. A specific focus in these conversations was discussing what respect looks like when we take a bus. It was evident that our students have many thoughtful examples of how they can demonstrate respect towards themselves, others, and their learning environment. We look forward to continuing to build on these conversations as we work together to make respect an important part of our daily interactions at Le Roi Daniels. 

Have a wonderful weekend.

We welcome and appreciate volunteers who support our classrooms, field trips, and other activities throughout the school year. Volunteers play an important role in supporting our students and school community. 

As volunteering places adults in a position of trust with students, staff, or school property, all adult volunteers are required to have a valid security clearance. 

To help families complete the required steps through their MyCBE account, we have created the following resource:

Cultural Celebrations 

At Le Roi Daniels School, we believe it is important to take time to acknowledge, recognize, and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and backgrounds that make up our school community.  

We would like to recognize Enkutatash (Ethiopian New Year – September 11), Tsukimi (Japan’s Moon Viewing Festival – September 25), and Chuseok (Korean Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival – September 25).  

Looking ahead, we would also like to acknowledge Durga Puja (Hindu Festival – October 17–21) and Dussehra (Hindu Festival – October 20).  

These celebrations provide meaningful opportunities to learn about and appreciate the traditions and cultures of others. Throughout the school year, we will continue to acknowledge and recognize cultural celebrations as part of our commitment to fostering a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive school community. 

Uniform Reminder 

As a friendly reminder, students are expected to wear their Formal Uniform on Mondays, while the Informal Uniform may be worn on informal uniform days. Families looking for additional information about uniform expectations can visit our Uniform Requirements webpage, which provides details about both Formal and Informal Uniform requirements, as well as links and information about purchasing uniform items.

Pedestrian Safety Reminder 

As a reminder, we ask all families to help us reinforce safe pedestrian practices when travelling to and from school. Please avoid jaywalking and encourage students to use the designated crosswalks where a crossing guard is present. Taking a few extra moments to cross safely helps keep our students and families safe and sets a positive example for all members of our school community. Thank you for your continued support in keeping safety a priority around our school.
