Hello PLES families,
We have some great news to share! Our school has been assigned a new teacher, which will allow us to lower our class sizes in every class in our school from Primary-Six.
With this exciting news, we will be making some changes to create a new class and rebalance our class numbers. Over the last week, we have been working on creating the new class and planning on how to transfer students to their new classrooms.
We are in the process of hiring an additional teacher, and our new configurations will be in place by Thursday September 25th.
| Current Configuration | New Configuration |
| Primary Doucette | Primary Doucette |
| Primary Hunt | Primary Hunt |
| 1 Sullivan/Tower | Primary/1 Sullivan/Tower |
| ½ Dobbin | ½ Dobbin |
| 2 Hudson | ½ MacLean |
| 2/3 MacLean | 2 Hudson |
| 3 Thompson | 2/3 (new class) |
| ¾ Collings | 3 Thompson |
| 4/5 Leverman/Matheson | ¾ Collings |
| 4/5 Hart/Matheson | 4/5 Hart/Matheson |
| 5/6 Green | 5 Leverman |
| 6 Mikkelson | 5/6 Green |
| 6 Mikkelson |
What’s next?
Starting on Monday, September 22, school administration will be reaching out to families if your child is directly impacted by this change.
We understand that change can sometimes be challenging, but we are confident that this move will have a significant long-term benefit for our students and staff.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these positive adjustments for our school community.
Take care,
John Fry
Principal
Porters Lake Elementary
