Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have a comment, concern or question. “Home and School Working Together” M. Rempel Year End Awards Assembly: At the end of every school year we acknowledge student effort and achievement at our year end awards assembly. It has been suggested that we remind students at the beginning of the year of the awards they could be working towards. Awards include: Citizenship – awarded to students who exhibit leadership, positive attitude, respect and other behaviours that represent our school values Service - awarded to students who help in the overall functioning of the school on a regular basis Principal’s Award – awarded to students who consistently exhibit excellent work habits, attitude and effort in all of their classes. Top Academic Awards – these awards go to the top students in each grade and course. Athletic and Music Awards – these awards go to the top students from every team and music group. In the end, achievement should be all about each student doing their very best. School Safety and Visitors: A common concern that comes to our school’s Health and Safety Committee each year is related to visitors to our school. All visitors including parents who come to the school during the regular school day must first of all report to the office. If the visit involves picking up a child during the school day the office can page the classroom for the child to come to the office.Anyone who is planning to stay at the school for a period of time or who needs to walk around in the school must sign in as a visitor and wear a visitor tag. Anyone who would like to meet with a staff member should phone in advance and make an appointment. If there is an urgent need to meet with a staff member please report to the office and the staff member will be paged to the office. Student and staff safety is very important to us and we need everyone’s cooperation to ensure that our school is a safe place in which to learn and work. Communication Parents and students stay “in the loop” by following our Twitter site (@lfmss) and our daily blog (www.lfmssnews.wordpress.com). Both links can be found on our school website (Langley Fundamental Mid & Sec School). After School Math Help Extra math help is available to ALL grades after school for one hour in room W13 (Mr. Low’s room) every day except for some Mondays and Wednesdays. Middle School math help days are yet to be determined. There is no question too simple, and no question too difficult...that we won’t try at least anyways. Bring your pencil, bring your paper, bring your frustrations, and most of all bring your Math questions. Hope to see you there!

Students are welcome to see both counsellor and parents are encouraged to phone the office to book an appointment with a counsellor if they have any questions or concerns about their child. ACADEMIC SUPPORT Is your child struggling in one or more of their classes? What do I do to help my child? If your child is struggling academically in their classes, a good starting point is to contact his/her teacher directly to explore reasons why this is the case. With support and guidance from the teacher, a plan is established providing parents/guardians with strategies to assist their child with learning at home. If your child continues to struggle, you may ask the teacher to provide some adaptations to their course work. At this point, the Classroom Teacher (CT) may approach the Resource Teacher (RT) with concerns about the academic ability and achievement of your child. The CT and RT will work together to determine some accommodations for your child to succeed in the classroom. If there is little or no evidence of improvement in your child’s progress, the CT may make a referral to our School Based Team where the CT, with parental consent, will present your child’s case describing their difficulties. This presentation is followed by discussion where additional strategies and solutions are examined and a plan of action is formulated which may include an academic assessment to decide appropriate interventions. The results from the assessment will determine whether or not your child qualifies for a Learning Assistance or a Resource block in their timetable. LFMSS PEER TUTORING – Students Helping Students Student tutors are on hand to support our own students in all subject areas. A list of tutors is available from the Resource Center, the Counselling Centre, and Teachers. All sessions will take place at the school either before or after school. Any other arrangements such as evenings and weekends must be made between the parent(s) and the tutor. Payment must be paid up at the end of each tutorial session.

  • Long Term Facilities Plan Working for Student Success: Planning for the Future
    Long Term Facilities Plan Working for Student Success: Planning for the Future LONG TERM FACILITIES PLAN Executive Summary OVERVIEW School District No. 35 (Langley) operates elementary schools, middle schools, secondary schools, as well as several other District facilities. PROJECT SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY The Ministry of Education requires approval of a School District Facilities Plan (SDFP) prior to approving Five Year Capital Plans and Project Identification Reports. The project included: enrolment, capacity and utilization analysis; facility condition assessment analysis; vision and strategic facilities planning principles; community consultation, options creation and evaluation; and recommendations. Creating and evaluating options that respond to the Vision Statement and Strategic Facilities Planning Principles, included the following: Boundary Reviews; District program location review; Expansion of existing facilities; total renovation upgrades; Facility replacement; Potential decommissioning of space; Consideration of new District programs and provincial early childhood initiatives; Community appropriate facility use; and Surplus facilities and sites. The intent of a Long Term Facilities Plan is to provide a strategic framework and direction for the school District’s annual review of its Five Year Capital Plan and the District’s proposed capital projects. EVOLVING TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES The District’s total school age headcount enrolment has increased slightly between 2007 and 2011. Certain geographic areas of the District’s enrolment are projected to increase significantly due to increasing pre-school populations and enrolments from new housing developments. The District has growing enrolments in some programs, which is creating over capacity and waiting lists at some school facilities, while also having declining enrolments in some programs. There is an opportunity to review and determine the appropriate number and location of District, Alternate, and Career programs and that the outcome of the review is incorporated into future capital planning.
