With Labour Day falling later than usual in 2026, the creation of a balanced and consistent calendar has presented more challenges than in typical years. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We continue to receive inquiries about the possibility of introducing a fall break. During the 2023–2024 school year, students, families, staff, and community members were surveyed on this topic. Due to the way the calendar year falls and contractual agreements, implementing a fall break is not something we are able to consider for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In collaboration with our coterminous boards—the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board—we have prepared </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">four calendar options for consideration</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. We are seeking feedback from members of the Limestone community to help guide our final decision. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold"

When deciding if students will go outside for recess, we follow the Public Health extreme cold guidelines. Generally, if the temperature is forecast to be -25C or -28C with the windchill, children are kept inside. If the temperatures are below this threshold, we will try to make it outside for recess. It is important that students come to school with the appropriate outdoor clothing including: winter coat, snow pants, boots, mitts/gloves and a toque.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Register Your Child Now in LDSB</strong></b></u></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><img src="/images/f05f0e70-9777-4085-8ef0-aac5affa75ab" alt="LDSB Kindergarten Student Registration Website Graphic" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Host an International Student</strong></b></u></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Limestone is proud of our long tradition of hosting students from other countries.

We have partnered with Talize Kingston to raise money for student activities. For those who are not familiar with Talize, they are a Canadian-owned and operated for-profit thrift retailer with an outlet in Kingston's West End (near Reid's Dairy). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> How do we make money? Talize weighs donations that are made in support of LPS and will give us 20 cents per pound of clothing and housewares, and 10 cents per pound of media (books, CDs etc.). Donations must be given to an attendant at the donation centre during open hours (around the right side of the building) and you must mention that it is in support of Loughborough Public School's fundraiser.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> See the flyers below for more information, including what items are accepted and what are

Everyone is safe, but the loss of their home and belongings is significant.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In moments like this, our community’s kindness makes a real difference. For families who wish to help, a GoFundMe page has been set-up to support the family. You can make a voluntary contribution here: </span><a href="about:blank" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-shelby-travis-recover-from-tragic-house-fire</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.

We have partnered with Talize Kingston to raise money for student activities. For those who are not familiar with Talize, they are a Canadian-owned and operated for-profit thrift retailer with an outlet in Kingston's West End (near Reid's Dairy). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> How do we make money? Talize weighs donations that are made in support of LPS and will give us 20 cents per pound of clothing and housewares, and 10 cents per pound of media (books, CDs etc.). Donations must be given to an attendant at the donation centre during open hours (around the right side of the building) and you must mention that it is in support of Loughborough Public School's fundraiser.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> See the flyers below for more information, including what items are accepted and what are

About Our School
Welcome to Loughborough Public School nestled in the beautiful village of Sydenham, about 20 minutes north of the city of Kingston. We are a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school that serves students in South Frontenac Township. We are also home to the Challenge North program, one of the Choices At Seven programs offered by the Limestone District School Board.

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is developing the 2026-2027 school year calendar. With Labour Day falling later than usual in 2026, the creation of a balanced and consistent calendar has presented more challenges than in typical years.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We continue to receive inquiries about the possibility of introducing a fall break. During the 2023–2024 school year, students, families, staff, and community members were surveyed on this topic. Due to the way the calendar year falls and contractual agreements, implementing a fall break is not something we are able to consider for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In collaboration with our coterminous boards—the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board—we have prepared </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">four calendar options for consideration</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Limestone welcomes all students, promoting and encouraging families to attend their area school, but we understand that it is best interest of some students to attend an out-of-boundary school and that selecting the right educational setting for your new student is a significant decision.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Selecting an out-of-boundary school for your new student is a decision influenced by many factors. The school may be closer to a workplace or near a childcare provider that might be more convenient for drop-off and pick-up routines. In accordance with board policy, by default, students will be enrolled in the school designated within their boundary area, based on their home address.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We aim to accommodate family preferences, but please note that out-of-boundary placements are not guaranteed, and families will be responsible for organizing transportation to and from out-of-boundary schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students may be permitted to attend any school within the board when there is available student space, upon submission and approval of the proper application. The board will not be held responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area. This applies to both students within Limestone’s geographic boundaries (out-of-boundary), and students who live outside of those boundaries (out-of-district). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Our dedicated staff are here to assist you throughout this process.
