It is with tremendous pleasure that I welcome you to the LCS community! We are a distinctive rural school that is rich in history and culture. I, myself, have worked here for just over 16 years and throughout my teaching career, have taught grades Primary to 8, including specialty areas of French, Reading Recovery and Resource. I, too, have come to look forward to the 'neat' things we do here at LCS that make us unique. As you look through this website, I believe you will be amazed and intrigued at all the things we do.
Lawrencetown Consolidated School first opened its doors in 1975, and is still going strong. We have an active and very dynamic School Advisory Council who support the many activities and learning that goes on here. Parents/Guardians are always invited to come to the monthly meetings to meet new people and to find out about what is going on.
Furthermore, we invite you to visit the school and meet the staff. Every September we have a Meet and Greet where teachers review their communication and curriculum plans with Parents/Guardians. Throughout the year we organize a few Lunch with Families, and student of the month (and term) assemblies to recognize the good efforts of our students. We are always looking for volunteers to help carry out school-wide programs or to help out in the classes. Your gift of time makes a difference in everyday school life.
We have just completed Year 3 of the three year School Success Plan accreditation process and continue to work diligently on achieving our two goals that focus on improving communication and reading achievement.
Please feel free to ask for clarification of any event if you feel it is not outlined clearly enough. You may contact the
main office, individual teachers or other parents to be sure you know what the event is all about. We are very proud of our
regularly-updated school website and encourage you to revisit it yourself in order to get the most current information.
Communication is absolutely essential to the achievement, growth and development of the students. I believe we must work together as
partners and share the responsibility for learning. Welcome to LCS!
Looking forward to working together,
Karen Baker
