Grade 6 - 12 Report Cards

Dear parents of LFAS students in grades 6-12.

 As you may know, we are scheduled to send out Report Cards for Middle Years and Secondary students on Friday, February 13. You may also know that we are the pilot school for MyEducationBC, the new province-wide student information system.  Unfortunately, there will be a provincial shut down of MyEducationBC (and BCeSIS) during our reporting time.  This affects our ability to produce report cards by Feb. 13.  As a result, grade 8 –12 report cards will now be sent out on Thursday, Feb. 19.   We apologize for the delay.  

Please note that this reporting period is an additional reporting period for grade 6 & 7's and, as such, is optional.  Therefore, not all students will be receiving a report.   If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.

 Mr. Bonnar, Ms. Thomsen & Ms. Douglas
