This day also encourages us to learn more about Indigenous perspectives, traditions, and experiences, helping all students grow their understanding, respect, and appreciation for the diversity that strengthens our community. Importantly, it is a time to reflect on the impacts of the past, and to commit to building a future grounded in respect, inclusion, and reconciliation. By recognizing this day, we support meaningful learning, foster empathy, and help create a more inclusive and informed school community.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Loughborough Kindergarten Open House</strong></b></u><img src="/images/c072d8b9-1b78-44a3-abdc-aeebefd325c6?fingerprint=ppb20260601161145" alt="Kinder open house 2026" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></h3><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" style="text-align: left;"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tick Checks</strong></b></u></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><img src="https://cdn.smore.com/u/thumbs/fd20/thumb-4e8d9e6a7dd3dd7e3c9d24ef30430826.jpeg" alt="" width="275" height="183" style="border:0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);boxSizing:border-box;-TwBorderSpacingX:0;-TwBorderSpacingY:0;-TwTranslateX:0;-TwTranslateY:0;-TwRotate:0;-TwSkewX:0;-TwSkewY:0;-TwScaleX:1;-TwScaleY:1;-TwScrollSnapStrictness:proximity;-TwRingOffsetWidth:0px;-TwRingOffsetColor:#fff;-TwRingColor:rgba(49,190,200,.5);-TwRingOffsetShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwRingShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwShadow:0 0 #0000;-TwShadowColored:0 0 #0000;display:block;verticalAlign:middle;height:183px;maxWidth:100%;maxHeight:100%;borderRadius:0.25rem;backgroundColor:transparent;objectFit:contain;width:275px"><a href="https://cdn.smore.com/u/fd20/4e8d9e6a7dd3dd7e3c9d24ef30430826.jpeg" title="Expand" class="editor-link"></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With the nicer weather, classes will be spending more time outside and participating in outdoor field trips.

Year End Letter to Students and Parents

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education has shared a letter for students, parents and families: </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Students, Parents and Families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To our amazing students: well done on finishing another school year! This is a good time to celebrate everything you have accomplished over the past several months. You worked hard, took on challenges, learned new things and continued to grow. You should be proud of all you have achieved this year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As you begin your summer break, take time to rest, explore your interests, and enjoy time with family and friends. However you choose to spend your summer, I hope you make the most of the months ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To the graduating Class of 2026, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. Graduation marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Whether your next step is college, university, an apprenticeship, the workforce or another pathway, I wish you every success in the years ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As families look ahead to September and the start of a new school year, there are a few things to keep in mind. Ontario schools will continue to focus on helping students build strong foundations in reading, writing and math while preparing them for success beyond the classroom. Students in elementary schools will learn from the same core materials and benefit from a revised Kindergarten curriculum focused on foundational literacy, math and science skills. In Grade 7 and 8, updated History courses will include new mandatory content on the history of Black Canadians.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In high schools, students in Grade 10 History will have new learning about Black history, the Holocaust and Holodomor. Students will also be required to demonstrate financial literacy as part of earning their high school diploma. To help provide clearer expectations and a more comprehensive picture of student achievement, high school students will complete written final exams during a dedicated exam period, and attendance and classroom participation will form part of their final grade. Together, these changes will help students stay engaged in their learning and be better prepared for life after graduation.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope the summer ahead provides an opportunity to recharge and enjoy some well-earned time together. I wish you and your family a safe, happy and enjoyable summer.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sincerely,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra Minister of Education</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1fba83f3-9f1b-4d60-a77c-3bc15cd094c8/Year-End-Letter-to-Students-and-Parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152216" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - English</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1466db2e-00ea-40f2-b63d-8d3f65d04a0d/Lettre-concernant-la-fin-de-l-ann-e-scolaire-l-intention-des-l-ves-et-des-parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152354" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - French</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p>
