Hello LVR families,
I hope that you are finding ways to enjoy this rainy weekend. A reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, April 13th due to the District Professional Development day. We have our monthly PAC meeting on Wednesday, April 15th starting at 6:30pm; I hope to see you there! The end of Term 3 at LV is Friday, April 17th. Term 3 report cards will be posted to the MyEd family portal on April 30th.
Wednesday and Thursday next week, that’s April 22nd and 23rd, are early dismissal days. Students will be dismissed an hour early at 2:10pm. Buses will also be an hour earlier than their usual pick up times, so please plan accordingly.
Speaking of buses, Bus registrations for the 2026 - 2027 school year are now open! 2026/27 School Bus Registration Deadline: June 12, 2026.
Applications received after the deadline will be considered only if space is available on routes as scheduled. All students requesting SD8 school busing privileges MUST register annually.
