Did it really snow earlier this week? We’re looking forward to making the most of the weeks ahead, filled with many favourite Calvin Park activities and events, including Calvin Cup, LEAP Showcase, Challenge Carousel, Track & Field Day, LCVI Road Race, Hard Core Awards, year-end field trips, Graduation, Carnival, and more!

It can be both an exciting and anxious time for students and families. As part of the 8-9 LDSB transition process, Calvin Park staff will meet with the incoming high school and will discuss each student, highlighting students' strengths and strategies that help them to be successful. As well, if your student has an IEP (Individual Education Plan) it will automatically transfer to the incoming high school, if remaining in the Limestone District School Board. Please note grade 9 transition meetings only occur with Limestone District School Board secondary schools. If you have any further questions, please reach out to your student’s classroom teacher. </span></p><hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Comets in Action</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Have you noticed the sap buckets on trees around the school?
