Message from the Director - June 27, 2024

Dear Families,Given we have reached the end of this school year for students, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your support and partnership over the past school year.While every school year comes with different challenges, I hope this year has been one of learning and growth. Congratulations to all our intermediate and secondary graduates across Limestone. I hope students and families have enjoyed the graduation and year-end celebrations over the past couple of weeks.The Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, has shared a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpoRwJKfcok" class="editor-link">video message</a> for graduates, and Minister of Education Todd Smith has shared a <a href="https://youtu.be/x8W-P0yL5x0?feature=shared" title="2024 Year-End Message from Minister Todd Smith" class="editor-link">video message</a> for students and families, congratulating students across Ontario on a successful year.A couple of reminders for families as we move into the summer break:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">If your student currently has school bus transportation and there is no change to their school or address in September, families do not need to take any action nor reapply for transportation through Tri-Board Student Transportation. Current school bus transportation will remain in place unless they are contacted directly by Tri-Board. However, if your student is attending school for the first time in 2024-2025, is changing schools, or needs to change school bus pick-up/drop-off locations, then families will need to apply for transportation by August 11, 2024, to ensure that transportation is in place for the first day of school in September. For full details, please visit the <a href="https://triboard.ca/" class="editor-link">Tri-Board website</a>.  </li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">In September 2024, more information about <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/document/education-ontario-policy-and-program-direction/policyprogram-memorandum-128" class="editor-link">Policy/Program 128: The Provincial Code of Conduct and School Boards Code of Conduct</a> will become available and will be shared with families, including the adjusted Board policies regarding cell phone usage, vaping on school property, and strengthened enforcement. Limestone will continue to work with KFL&A Public Health to share more information related to the mental health impacts of excessive use of social media applications and the physical health implications of vaping.</li></ul>May the summer break bring you rest, rejuvenation, and cherished memories with loved ones. And as we look ahead to the next chapter in the 2024-25 school year, I hope we all can continue to foster a love for learning, curiosity, and compassion.Thank you for being an integral part of the Limestone education community. Students are best served when we work collaboratively to support their learning and well-being. Your support makes a tremendous difference, and I am excited for the adventures that await our school communities in the coming year.Krishna Burra

This month is an opportunity to learn about the diverse cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. It’s a time to honour and give voice to the stories, achievements, and resilience of Indigenous peoples across Canada, who have lived and cared for this land since time immemorial and who continue to make significant impacts, today.During this month, we also celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st. This day is an opportunity to honour the histories and diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This day is important as it gives us an opportunity to acknowledge the Indigenous peoples whose histories and cultures are rooted in this land, and whose historical impact and presence have long been ignored by Canadian society. We are now in a place where we are beginning to recognize the importance of Indigenous peoples and their contributions to what we now know as Canada. In the Limestone District School Board, it is critical that we continue to teach the truth and to make a commitment to life-long reconcili-ACTION and living in right relations with the Indigenous community whose traditional territory we are fortunate to teach and learn on.Working in partnership with the Kingston Friendship Centre and several community organizations, the Limestone District School Board’s, Indigenous Education Team is proud to offer several opportunities for staff, students, caregivers, and the community to engage in throughout this month.June 6th – Self-identified Indigenous students and students enrolled in NAC10 are invited to participate in a fish scale art workshop with Cree-Métis artist, Jamie Morse. This opportunity is being funded generously by the Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest through the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centre's.June 11th – Storytelling session by Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch): “Stories of the Summer Solstice”. All classes are invited to participate in a virtual session through Zoom on June 11th to learn about the Summer Solstice.June 19th – Caregivers, students, and the community are invited to attend a Public Virtual Hodinohsho:ni Governance Workshop hosted by the Woodland Cultural Centre. This workshop will be on June 19th at 6:00 PM. The donation for this workshop helps to support the education department in creating and delivering virtual programming at the Woodland Cultural Centre. Topics covered include Hodinohsho:ni system of governance, use of Wampum, the Royal Proclamation, the Haldimand Proclamation, the Indian Act, and how these conflicted with the traditional Hodinohsho:ni Governance structure.<a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84279518633?pwd=ckUxb3VLT0J0NnBTMCtONlZnc2xudz09" class="editor-link">Join the Public Virtual Hodinohsho:ni Governance Workshop on ZOOM</a>.June 21st – National Indigenous Peoples Day at City Park in Kingston.

I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather, even if it is a little unpredictable. With April upon us, I wanted to provide you with a couple of important updates: Reminder – P.A. Day: Monday, April 8, 2024 A reminder to families that Monday, April 8, is a Professional Activity (P.A.) Day in Limestone. Schools are closed and there are no classes for students. Solar Eclipse Safety A very exciting and rare solar event is taking place on Monday, April 8 in the Kingston area. This type of solar event only occurs every few hundred years. We are expected to be in a solar eclipse between 2:09 p.m. and 4:34 p.m., with the peak of totality (where the sun appears to be completely covered by the moon for a short period of time) happening at approximately 3:22 p.m., and ending at approximately 3:25 p.m.  There are safety precautions everyone should exercise to ensure they safely enjoy this solar event.  It is dangerous to look directly at the sun at any time, and especially during an eclipse. KFL&A Public Health and Queen’s University have provided information on how to view the eclipse safely and properly protect your eyes: <ul> <li>Do not look directly at the eclipse at any time without proper protection. </li> <li>If you want to look at the eclipse, you must use approved solar eclipse viewers that meet international standards ISO 12312-2. </li> <li>Queen’s University is distributing solar eclipse glasses to the Kingston community through our schools (LDSB students will receive a pair at school this week), as well as the Kingston Frontenac Public Libraries at no cost. </li> <li>Regular sunglasses, even those with a very dark tint, will not protect your eyes. </li> <li>It is not safe to view the eclipse through a camera or phone lens, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device. </li> <li>When to wear eclipse glasses: <ul> <li>During the solar eclipse, only look directly at the sun if you are wearing certified solar eclipse glasses. </li> <li>Totality is when the sun is totally eclipsed by the moon, which lasts only a few minutes (approximately 3:22 p.m. to 3:25 p.m.). During totality, it is safe to look in the direction of the sun with the naked eye. If you are using certified eclipse glasses or viewers and are in the path of totality, it is safe to take your glasses off and observe totality when you can no longer see any part of the sun through your glasses. There will be a few minutes of darkness. </li> <li>When any part of the sun becomes visible after totality, you must put your glasses back on or look away. Keep glasses on, or remain looking away, for the remainder of the eclipse (as the moon moves past the sun).</li> </ul> </li> </ul> Enjoy the rest of your week, and the weekend when it arrives. Thank you, Krishna Burra Director of Education
