Administration Team Update
I have to share with families that Adam Andrecyk, VP with KLC, is being transferred and so his last day as part of the Alternative and Continuing Ed Administrative Team will be tomorrow Friday, December 19th. Adam has been an integral support for so many of our KLC students, families and staff and he leaves a large hole with his departure. Adam has a deep care for all students and wants to support them in finding success at school. Adam is moving to his next opportunity as a Vice-Principal of LCVI/Calvin Park in Limestone. We wish Adam all the best on this next step and know LCVI/Calvin are lucky to have him. I can't thank Adam enough for his leadership and care for KLC over the last number of years.
Kristin Stevens, who is currently VP at Sydenham HS, will be joining the Alternative and Continuing Ed Administrative Team alongside Scott McFarlane, VP, and myself, Kate Myers, Principal, when we return from the holiday break. We look forward to welcoming Kristin to our team!
Wishing all of our families a wonderful Winter Break and Happy Holidays to all those celebrating! We look forward to seeing everyone back in 2026!

Human Development and Sexual Health Curriculum for Elementary Students
As part of LDSB's commitment to ongoing transparency and communication with families, please follow the link to Form 325-D on the LDSB website. It outlines the Human Development and Sexual Health curriculum expectations for Grades 1-8. Families can request to have their child or children exempted from instruction related to Human Development and Sexual Health expectations by completing and returning an exemption form for each child (Form 325-B) five school days before the start of instruction. Prior to instruction, your child's classroom teacher will inform parents/guardians when the expectations related to the Human Development and Sexual Health expectations in Strand D will be covered. For a more detailed overview of this process, please refer to Administrative Procedure 325: Exemption From Human Development and Sexual Health Instruction (listed under the Policies and Procedures section of the LDSB website), or contact the school.
