Hello, Community! It is exciting to see the growth in Langdon. As a school, there are many areas teachers and students have taken initiative on to enrich our community. If you get a chance, take a look at our front page of the website to see current initiatives happening in the school.
Our current enrollment is at 623 students (including Kindergarten). Over the past years, we have sought to establish a strong student culture. This culture stems from our Mission: Langdon School is dedicated to empowering our students, parents, and staff to create a school community whereby confident, self-aware individuals strive to be resilient, adaptable, and accountable while caring for their personal well-being. As a school, we are always balancing our space needs, with the individual needs of the classroom. You will notice that Pit Stop and Learning Commons is still in use. The philosophy of the Pit Stop has changed how students think about seeking help in their studies. We are continuing to evaluate change with the needs of students through both the Booster Classes and Pit Stop. Each year we evaluate the use and philosophy of our specialty programs to better the students. We are also excited to introduce “Caring Tails”; this is a therapeutic program for students who have extreme anxiety. Trained Dogs will be working in a secured area with their trainer and selected students. Thank you to Mrs. Winkler and Mrs. Schrauwen for organizing this program.
This year you will have noticed the pamphlets, website updates, and newsletter announcements concerning the School Education Plan and Report Cards (CoSL). For the last two years, teachers have been preparing students to understand a different way of referring to their evaluation. If you have any questions about the report card, please feel free to talk with your teacher, Mrs. Sidorenko, or me, during the Showcase and Parent Teachers Interviews (March 2nd and 3rd).
As always, thank you, parents, for your support, I appreciate how so many of you are positive and helpful. Your positive attitude helps us immensely in the lives of our staff and students.
