Hello Porters Lake Elementary Families,
Welcome back! We had a wonderful day with our staff today as we got the school ready for our students. We are so excited to see everyone and have a few important updates to share.
Important Reminders
As we finalize our class lists, please be aware that your child's classroom assignment may change over the next month as student numbers shift. Your child's classroom teacher will be reaching out to you soon via email to introduce themselves and provide directions for our upcoming Curriculum Night. Please check your junk mail or spam folder, as these emails sometimes get filtered.
For P-6 Curriculum Night is this Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, you can head directly to your child's classroom. We'll have plenty of staff and signs to help guide you. Pre-Primary staff have reached out to families about their separate open house earlier in the day.
Parking
Please remember that our parking lot is for staff only. We kindly ask that all families park on the street or in another safe spot.
After-School Plans
To ensure we have accurate information for all of our students, please take a moment to fill out our quick online form regarding your child's after-school plans. This will help us compile all the necessary details and share them with their teachers.

The form will ask for your child's name, grade, and their after-school plan (e.g., Excel, Lake and Shore, bus, pickup, or other provider). If you are unable to access the form, you can email this information to ples@hrce.ca.
Hot Lunch Program
We are excited to announce that we will have an on-site provider for the provincial hot lunch program this year! Please note that we will be starting a week later than other elementary schools to ensure we are fully prepared for the launch. You will not see our school on the current list of participating schools just yet, but we look forward to this great opportunity to use our school cafeteria again to support the program.
We can't wait to see you all this week!
Take care,
John Fry
Principal
