During the month, we will be taking the time to learn and deepen our understanding of Indigenous history, cultures, and traditions. Throughout the month, staff will be implementing Indigenous teachings, lessons, and activities into their daily programming.Our Lions will recognize Treaties Recognition Week from November 2 to November 8. The week is dedicated to honoring the importance of treaties and helps students to learn more about treaty rights and relationships. The week was created in 2016 and was one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action as way to honoring the importance of treaties and to help students learn more about treaty rights and relationships as we work towards reconciliation.International Inuit Day will be recognized on Friday, November 7. International Inuit Day is a day to learn more about Inuit cultures, languages, and innovations from across Canada.National Indigenous Veterans Day is recognized every November 8th. Classes will be recognizing National Indigenous Veterans Day by learning about the impact and contributions of Indigenous peoples and learning about the monuments that are dedicated to Indigenous peoples who have and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. Part of this learning will be about teaching and understanding the distinct experiences that Indigenous peoples faced while serving and returning from military service. On November 14, our Lions will recognize and commemorate the legacy of Louis Riel. We will take the time to reflect on his impact and recognize his advocacy and sacrifices for the protection of the rights and culture of the Metis peoples. <h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"

To help us better understand how students’ identities and experiences relate to their achievement and well-being, we are launching our second See Yourself in Limestone Student Census Survey this fall.The census is a voluntary and confidential survey for students in Grades 4 to 12, running from November 24 to 28, 2025. It gathers information about students’ identities and their experiences at school. This data is then paired with academic information to help us understand what school is like for different groups of students.Important information for families:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">The survey is optional.</li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem">Responses are confidential and students can skip any questions they do not wish to answer.</li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem">Students will complete the survey during class time.</li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem">Students who do not participate will be provided with an alternative activity.</li></ul>Families who do not want their student(s) to complete the survey must contact their school principal by Friday, November 14, 2025.

picking up your child at the end of the day, we ask that all vehicles exit the Loughborough parking lot using the exit closest to Rutledge Road. This will help to ensure that vehicles maintain a safe distance from the buses and from parents waiting to pick up their child(ren). We also encourage vehicles to wait until the buses have exited the parking lot before leaving. <h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr">Piano Lessons at LPS</h3><img src="https://cdn.smore.com/u/thumbs/79a5/thumb-82e90370090d9186fe659b0d74004a10.jpeg" alt="" width="140" height="92" style="width:140px;height:92px;display:inline-block">Carolyn Schaub, who has been teaching piano at LPS and in the region since 2006, will be offering piano lessons at LPS again this year during the school day.

Agendas can be found on the website under <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/board_meetings-1719463739654" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="editor-link">Board Meetings</a>.  <h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Land Acknowledgement </h2>All meetings begin with a Land Acknowledgement. Trustee Elliott provided the following Land Acknowledgement: "The Limestone District School Board is situated on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek and Haudenosaunee. We acknowledge their enduring presence on this land, as well as the presence of Métis, Inuit, and other First Nations from across Turtle Island. We honour their cultures and celebrate their commitment to this land. As a photographer, I’ve spent all summer and fall taking photos for various tourism groups in the region, and have experienced first-hand how lucky we are to live where we live. I’ve taken photos of people sharing parks with their friends and families, cyclists in rural areas enjoying the open road, endless landscapes and sunsets along the lake, and large events that bring the community together to celebrate and have fun. I’m thankful for these opportunities to reflect on the shared responsibility we have to respect and protect this beautiful region, and am grateful to live, work, and learn here."<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Presentation</h2>A presentation from Umoja was embedded as part of the Report for Information 13.4.1: LDSB Equity Team Action Plan.<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Private Session Report</h2><details open="false"><summary>Private Session Report - October 29, 2025</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">During private session following at the October 1 Education, Policy, and Operations Committee Meeting:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Trustee McGregor provided an OPSBA update</li></ul>There was no other business conducted, or motions passed in Private Session.Earlier this evening during Private Session:The private session minutes were approved from the following:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">September 15, 2025, Audit Committee Meeting</li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem">September 17, 2025, Regular Board Meeting</li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem">October 1, 2025, EPOC Meeting</li></ul>Superintendent Young provided a property and legal update.Trustees discussed some Personnel updates.There was no other business conducted, or motions passed in Private Session. </div></details><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Reports from Officers</h2><details open="false"><summary>Chair's Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><img src="/images/3b73f535-6db0-57a4-bb4f-a5bb6232f53e" alt="" width="268" height="347" style="width:268px;height:347px;display:inline-block;float:right">Chair McGregor provided the following report: "I would like to begin my report tonight by extending a heartfelt thank you to everyone across Limestone who continues to create meaningful learning opportunities for students both inside and outside of the classroom. Your efforts are helping to shape inspired learners across the district. This week, Limestone was honoured to host a special Breakfast with Aaliyah Edwards, WNBA athlete and proud Limestone graduate. Aaliyah’s visit was an incredible opportunity for students to hear directly from a role model who embodies perseverance, leadership, and community spirit. We are deeply grateful to Aaliyah for taking the time to give back to the Limestone community. Limestone students also participated in Girls in Trades, a full-day event hosted by the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program at St. Lawrence College. Students explored hands-on learning in wind turbine technology, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, hairstyling, esthetics, brick and stonework, and millwork. This event is one of many that help inspire the next generation of tradeswomen and expanded career possibilities for Limestone students. Looking ahead, National Skilled Trade and Technology Week is next week – a celebration of student exploration and opportunities in skilled trades and technology. We look forward to highlighting the many ways students can engage with and pursue these pathways. Earlier today, Limestone hosted the Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Career Day for secondary students. This event was designed to amplify diverse voices and break down barriers by showcasing successful professionals from a wide range of industries. Students had the opportunity to learn about scholarship opportunities, post-secondary planning with guidance counsellors, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, the new Queen’s Black Mentorship Program, Specialist High Skills Major, and local employers and career pathways, and featured an inspiring group of panelists from the local community. The event was made possible through the support of the Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest, St. Lawrence College, Specialist High Skills Major, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, and Queen’s University. Thank you again to all Limestone employees, partners, and community members who continue to support students in discovering their passions and building their futures. This concludes my report." </div></details><details open="false"><summary>Director's Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><img src="/images/959f9ebc-0553-5f56-afed-83ccf39d2906" alt="" width="316" height="316" style="width:316px;height:316px;float:left;display:inline-block">Director Burra provided the following report: "Good evening Trustees and members of the viewing public. I have several updates I would like to share with you this evening. Thank you, Chair McGregor, for your comments regarding Aaliyah Edward’s visit with students earlier this week, the recent Girls in Trades event, the Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Career Day for secondary students that occurred earlier today, and for reminding everyone of National Skilled Trade and Technology Week next week. These are all great events that benefit a range of Limestone students, and are just some highlights of different learning opportunities provided to students. As a reminder to Trustees and the viewing public, we are in the midst of the fall 2025 United Way fundraising campaign. Given continuing, significant economic dislocation, housing costs, and food security concerns, it is critical for those that can support this campaign to do so, to help support some of the most vulnerable children, youth, and families in the region. Limestone is a proud contributor to this annual campaign. I should note that it was my pleasure to help support the United Way engaging with the secondary Interschool Council members last week. The Interschool Council is comprised of Student Trustees and student leaders from across LDSB secondary schools. This engagement is a new Youth United campaign to increase youth awareness of the United Way and partners who receive funding to support members of the community in need. The Interschool Council went on an abbreviated ‘Seeing is Believing’ tour for student leaders to see examples of services that exist in our communities to support a range of needs. I am sure we will hear about this from Student Trustees. I look forward to seeing how this initiative evolves and the difference students, and schools, can make in this year’s campaign. Tonight we have three reports for Trustees, one for action related to a financial update, and an information update related to Limestone’s Equity Action Plan. Part of that report will include a presentation that includes greatly valued partners in support of this work.This evening, Trustees will also see an interim update report for the LDSB Strategic Plan, 2024-2028. The report this evening will focus on our continued focus on goals outlined in the Strategic Plan and the high impact strategies we are utilizing to support the goals. Given the province has yet to release the 2024-2025 EQAO results that we have to include as part of our assessment of the Strategic Plan, tonight’s report is interim and we will bring it back once we have the EQAO results and other data to support our monitoring of the plan. Our current focus continues to be on improving teaching and learning in classrooms. These points of emphasis are critical components of the provincial and board priorities, but also integral to our equity work in ensuring that each Limestone student has the skills and confidence to access their pathway of choice as they navigate through their K-12 schooling. The stakes of our work are incredibly high, and we have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that we maintain focused attention on student achievement. It is also important for us all to remember the importance of this data particularly when it is triangulated, or overlaid, with Student Census data. As Trustees are aware, we have the second Limestone Student Census coming up in just a few weeks. Once we have the results and analysis of the Student Census data, we will have very rich information about specific groups of students in Limestone and their experiences. I look forward to continuing our critical work in Limestone with the new Strategic Plan as we move into the future, doing the best we can to make a difference in the lives of the students we serve.Thank you, Chair McGregor. That completes my update for this evening." </div></details><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Reports</h2><details open="false"><summary>OPSBA Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">Chair McGregor provided an OPSBA report.</div></details><details open="false"><summary>Student Trustees' Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">Student Trustee Ismail provided the Student Trustees' Report: "Good afternoon, Trustees and members of the public,We held our Interschool Council (ISC) meeting October 21, chaired by Mia Comeau and Rachel Kolosov. Our meeting consisted of a tour of three United Way KFL&A partner agencies for student representatives to better understand and gain new perspectives on the youth in our communities and local initiatives that support youth and families across the LDSB.To begin our day, ISC members and guests visited Youth Diversion, where Executive Director Shawn Quigley led an interactive session focused on understanding the importance of support systems in our lives. This experience helped student representatives reflect on the ways Youth Diversion’s prevention and intervention programs help students overcome challenges they may face and contribute to student well-being across our board.Our next stop was the Food Sharing Project, where ISC members learned from Andy Mills about how the organization supports equitable access to nutrition across many schools. Students were able to see the large-scale community effort that aims to help all students learn and thrive.And lastly, we visited the BGC South East, where we toured their facilities, including a robotics rink, gym, a new STEM lab, and many study and quiet spaces. The centre also offers accessible and structured programs that create a supportive environment for youth to develop skills and relationships with their peers and mentors.We discussed our schools involvement in the Youth United initiative, and schools are at different stages of launching fundraising efforts and building awareness to encourage registrations within their student bodies.The Interschool Council is looking forward to building connections between our schools and local community organizations that put tremendous effort in supporting student well-being.This concludes our October ISC meeting.

Message from the Director

Dear Families,It is hard to believe we are already approaching the end of October.  Excluding today and a handful of other days, we have enjoyed a beautiful and relatively warm fall. Since the start of the school year, it has been wonderful to see the momentum of learning and the wide variety of extracurricular activities taking place across Limestone schools. As we head into November next week, I want to share a few updates with you:See Yourself in Limestone – Student Census SurveyInformation was shared with families earlier this week regarding the upcoming See Yourself in Limestone Student Census. The census is a voluntary and confidential survey for students in Grades 4 to 12. Please note, there was one error in the message shared with you regarding the dates of the Student Census. The correct dates are November 24 to 28, 2025.As a reminder, families who do not want their student(s) to complete the survey must contact their school Principal by Friday, November 14, 2025. Opting out means the student will not receive the survey in their e-mail inbox.By better understanding students’ identities and experiences, we can remove barriers and better support students in accessing what they need to succeed.Learn more about the Student Census and how it supports equity in Limestone: <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/student_census" class="editor-link">limestone.on.ca/student_census</a>Reminder: Upcoming PA Day – November 14, 2025A reminder to families that Friday, November 14 is a Professional Activity (PA) Day for all Limestone students. There will be no classes for students on this day. Student Achievement Plan – Opportunity to Provide FeedbackAn update on <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/documents/5bb14b2b-a709-4efa-9daa-9553a7b51f9a/LDSB-Regular-Board-Meeting-Agenda-October-29-2025-revised.pdf" class="editor-link">Limestone’s Student Achievement Plan is included in the most recent Board Meeting package (pages 37 through 39)</a>. This update is interim because we are still awaiting the release of 2024-2025 EQAO data and other provincial data. The plan outlines how the Board is working to support student success in three key areas:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Achievement in Core Academic Skills (literacy and numeracy)</li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem">Preparation for Future Success (graduation rates, career pathways)</li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem">Student Engagement and Well-Being</li></ul>Families are encouraged to <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/documents/5bb14b2b-a709-4efa-9daa-9553a7b51f9a/LDSB-Regular-Board-Meeting-Agenda-October-29-2025-revised.pdf" class="editor-link">review the update included in the October Board Meeting package</a> and learn more about how Limestone is tracking progress and creating opportunities for all students. Once we have EQAO and other provincial data, another update will be shared.As of today (October 30, 2025), we have still not received EQAO and other provincial data for the 2024-2025 school year. As a result, based on the <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/mission__vision___values" class="editor-link">Limestone District School Board Strategic Plan</a> we have provided an interim report on our continued work to support improved student learning and well-being. Question for Families: What feedback, if any, do you have regarding the Board's goals and high impact strategies focused on improving student learning and well-being? <a href="https://ca1.voxco.com/S2/?st=fu443Fws9prNw0zfWUOKuly9F1SpkMermbTzVyZ1st8%3D&mod=0&dlang=en" class="editor-link">Share your feedback with Limestone online here.</a>Free Access to IDELLO for the French as a Second Language CommunityWe are excited to share that Télévision française de l’Ontario (TFO) is offering free access to IDELLO for families in the French as a Second Language (FSL) community!<a href="https://www.idello.org/formations-et-evenements?utm_source=Idello&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Idello2025" class="editor-link">IDELLO is a rich online platform</a> that offers virtual training, events, and resources designed to support French-language learning for educators, parents, and students.

School buses function differently than other vehicles, and sometimes, although it is safe for the average family vehicle to travel, it is not safe for a school bus to be on the road. Due to the geographic size of our district, weather conditions can vary significantly from one region to another. As a result, there are times when transportation cancellations may only apply to specific areas experiencing adverse conditions, while other regions remain unaffected. Having to cancel school transportation is understandably disruptive to families, but Tri-Board always puts the safety of their 30,000-plus bus riders first and foremost in their decision-making.
