In Memory of BRUCE NUGENT It is with heavy hearts that we proceed with this edition of The Key without our friend and colleague Bruce Nugent. Bruce has been an integral part of our Joint Advertising Committee for several years and has always shown professionalism, passion and the desire to share the best of what Lakehead Public Schools had to offer the community of Thunder Bay along with our educational partners and community groups. He was kind, caring, conscientious, respectful and would always go out of his way to offer his support when needed, along with a bit of his humour we all loved.

We send our love out to Sharlene, Liam and Aidan, along with the rest of their family and friends. We promise to continue to spread Bruce’s legacy throughout each of our publications, so that our great community can continue to come together and enjoy the programs he was such a huge advocate of and passionate about, but also had joy in participating in to make Thunder Bay the best it can be.

A message from Lakehead Public Schools: As we prepare for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year, the health and safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. We are working closely with the Thunder Bay District Health Unit and the Ministry of Education to ensure that all of the proper protocols are being followed in our plans for reopening. We are working hard to plan for every possible reopening scenario - and will be ready to move ahead once a formal announcement has been made by the Ministry of Education.

Additionally, all Lakehead Public Schools programming will be affected by the Ministry-mandated reopening protocols. All programming will, unless otherwise stated on our website or facebook page, proceed as planned. Please be aware that Lakehead Public Schools programming outlined on the following pages will, however, be subject to change or cancellation. As more information becomes available, it will be communicated through our website and social media channels.

While we prepare with optimism, we are taking every precaution necessary to ensure that integrity of our school year remains intact. Our commitment to the success of every student at Lakehead Public Schools remains unchanged. We can’t wait to see our students again!

Read aloud with your child every day.

Your reading time doesn’t have to be long.

5 to 10 minutes each day is a great way to make reading a regular part of your day.

Encourage and practice washroom routines like flushing, dressing, and washing hands. Toilet trained by school start is required.

Talk with your child about things you see. Try to spend time each day talking with, and listening to, your child. Conversations build strong oral communications skills.

Invite your child to select and help prepare snack choices that they like to eat.

Practice opening and eating from the containers that will be sent to the school for nutrition breaks.

Speak positively to your child and other about starting school.

Kindergarten programs are designed for children to be active both indoors and outdoors. Help your child select footwear and clothing that is comfortable and that will allow them to bend, jump, paint, sit, run, walk, stretch, and get messy!

Encourage and support your child with self-care skills such as fastening zippers and buttons, dressing themselves, and tying shoes.

Children will be playing outdoors every day in all seasons, so prepare for a year of all kinds of weather clothing!

LEARNING ACADEMIES

Learning Academies As part of our commitment to student success, Lakehead Public Schools is proud to offer Learning Academies in eight elementary schools and all three secondary schools. The academy model allows students to view the curriculum through a specialized lens and engage with community partners to explore future pathways.

Students participate in an experience connected to a community outside of school, reflect on those experiences to derive meaning, and apply their learning in various aspects of their lives.

PRESCHOOL A We encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them know they can do it themselves (thank you very much). These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll try floats on their front and back, and glides on their back while wearing a personal flotation device (PFD).

They’ll learn to get their face wet and blow bubbles underwater.

Prerequisite: Completed Preschool B.

PRESCHOOL D Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They’ll do side roll entries and open their eyes underwater.

They’ll master a short (3–5 m) swim on their front and gliding and kicking on their side.

Prerequisite: Completed Preschool C.

SWIMMER 1 These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a personal flotation device.

They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll work on floats, glides and kicking through the water on their front and back.

Prerequisite: Swimmer 3.

SWIMMER 5 These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. Surface dives will take them down to underwater swims. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50 m swims of each, and breaststroke over 15–25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25 m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50 m front or back crawl; and 4 x 10–15 m breaststroke.
