SUPPLIES

SNACKS& LUNCH

LAKEHEAD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

As you prepare your child to begin school, talk about why these school supplies are important!

Ensure that all supplies are labeled clearly!

14

A medium sized backpack Not too big that your child can not carry it and not too small that it won’t hold your child’s snack, lunch, and book bag.

A pair of indoor shoes with Velcro to leave at school These shoes will be worn everyday. For reasons of cleanliness, students are not allowed to wear outside shoes in the classroom (please have Velcro on your child’s outdoor shoes as well).

A change of clothes Accidents do happen.* A change of clothing should include underwear, socks, pants, and a top that your child will keep at school. This way we will not need to call you at work or at home if a change of clothing is required. Please remember to replace clothing should the need arise. * It is the expectation of Lakehead Public Schools that your child is potty trained before starting school. Considerations will be made for children who have medical conditions that interfere with regular potty training.

Each day, your child will need a lunch and snacks. We encourage healthy eating and suggest that you prepare your child’s snacks and lunch with your child to ensure all is child-approved and therefore eaten.

Suggestions: • • • • • •

Fresh fruit (apple, a pre-cut orange, banana, raisins, grapes, cantaloupe, etc.)

Vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, broccoli, cucumber, with or without dip, etc.)

Crackers Cheese Yogurt Pudding

Please do not send beverages in glass containers since the risk of being hurt is too great if one should accidentally break. If you wish, you may place an ice-pack in your child’s lunch box in order to keep the lunch and snacks cold all day.

Talk to your child about allergies and why it’s important not to share snacks or lunch. For more information about healthy living, please visit the Thunder Bay District Health Unit website at: www.tbdhu.com

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Advanced Placement Challenge Yourself!

Advanced Placement is a program that offers students the opportunity to participate in a more challenging academic program whose ultimate goal is to give students the option to take standardized Advanced Placement exams in Grade 12.

Depending on the results and the university, students may receive advanced standing or university credit in first year.

LAKEHEAD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Is AP Right for Me? Are you: • an independent and motivated learner with a strong work ethic?

• an avid reader and effective communicator?

• a strong critical and creative thinker who enjoys solving problems and analyzing how things work?

• curious about the world around you and eager to challenge yourself to expand your learning in high school?

Students interested in Advanced Placement will begin taking Pre-AP courses in Grade 9.

These courses, in addition to covering The Ontario Curriculum, will be enriched academic courses with the goal of exposing students to the vocabulary and style of AP examinations.

It should be noted that students will be evaluated in exactly the same way as students in the regular academic stream; the expectations are not greater. The difference is that students will encounter more sophisticated content. These courses will naturally lead to Grade 12 AP courses, at the end of which the students will have the option of writing the AP Examinations, which occur in May each year. For more information about Advanced Placement, please contact Student Services at either Westgate CVI or Hammarskjold HS.

- Children who are at a Swimmer 5 level or higher will be free to attend their lesson without the in-water support from a parent or guardian. * This will be at the instructor’s discretion. If they feel the child needs assistance from an in water parent/ guardian you will be notified.
