Social Media safety
We are asking all parents and guardians of Peter Lougheed Students to please check in with your children about their social media use. Many instances of bullying and conflicts happen online and specifically through the app SnapChat. There are some resources available through SnapChat called the Family Centre, where parents can monitor their children's use of the app. Please follow the link below to learn more.

Physical Education
Just a reminder to all parents to ensure students are coming with proper clothing so they can participate in Physical Education class. The weather is getting colder in the mornings so we need to have students come prepared to be outside. Also, any students wearing crocs or sandals/flip flops will not be allowed to participate in the activities as there are major safety concerns with these types of footwear. This upcoming week we will be starting our dance module where students have chosen between researching a dance of the world, bhangra dancing, creating their own dance, or international dance which includes hip hop, line dancing, party dances, jive, 2-step and salsa.
