Last Day of School

The current school year concludes on Thursday, June 25. An early dismissal is scheduled with students who walk or are being picked up leaving at 12:50 pm, followed by bus departures beginning at 1:00 pm. Since  there is no formal lunch break due to the early schedule, we will have an extended recess; students are encouraged to pack a larger snack.

Last Week Lunch Arrangements

With the school lunch program having concluded last Friday, we remind families that students must bring their own recess snacks and lunches from Monday, June 22 to Thursday, June 25. Please ensure these meals do not require any heating.

In our effort to maintain an inclusive and equitable environment for all students, we kindly request that families refrain from dropping off restaurant takeout during the lunch hour.

We recognize that the final week of school can be stressful, and changes in morning routines might occasionally make takeout the only practical option. Our priority is ensuring no student goes hungry; if you face a unique situation where a takeout drop-off is essential, please contact us so we can help your child eat comfortably.

Year End School Spirit Days

Our year end Spirit Days continue this week. Remember that participation is completely optional, and there is no expectation for families to buy any special items for their children to join in the festivities. The students and staff really enjoyed the spirit days last week. Here are the remaining themes for this week.

June 22 – June 24

• Monday, June 22: Inside-Out & Backwards Day

  • Wear a shirt, socks, or shorts inside-out or backwards. 

• Tuesday, June 23: Rainbow Day

  • Wear your brightest colors!

• Wednesday, June 24: Canada Day

  • Wear Canada gear or red and white

Library Books

Please check with your child to make sure they don’t have any school library books at home and if they do they are returned to school prior to Thursday. They can be turned in to your child’s teacher or at the main office.

Pride Month

Across Canada, June is recognized as Pride Month. It’s a time to celebrate love and inclusivity, and for the global LGBTQIA+ community to embrace who they are.  To learn more check out Pride Season on the Government of Canada Website.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada

This is an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis. It's a time to honor the stories, achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to impact the evolving Canada. The House of Commons designated June as National Aboriginal History Month in 2009. The name was changed to National Indigenous History Month in 2017.  Click here to learn more.

Are you moving?

Please email us larkhallacad@nlschools.ca and your child's teacher if you have already moved or will be moving over the summer and not returning to Larkhall Academy in September. 

If your family has relocated, we kindly ask that you provide us with your updated address. Even if you remain within our school's boundaries, this information is vital for organizing student transportation for September and ensuring your child is placed on the appropriate bus route.

For those who have moved outside our school zone, please contact your child’s new zoned school to complete their registration for the upcoming school year. NLSchools policy, students are required to register and attend the school assigned to their zone. This requirement ensures access to all entitled services, including busing. Furthermore, attending their local neighborhood school allows children to build lasting friendships and play with peers in their own community.
