Progress reports:
Progress report cards will be sent home with your student on Friday November 13th. This report card is based on the teachers' observations and evidence of learning during the first 8 weeks of school. You'll find learning skills marks and comments on the front page. Your child will be assigned either progressing very well, progressing well, or progressing with difficulty for each subject that they're taking this term.
Here's a chart to help you understand how marking works in grade 7-8.
Prolonged Absences
If you child will be away for a planned prolonged period, please reach out to the office or their homeroom teacher - ideally in advance.
Remembrance Day
Acadie is thankful for the collaboration with FSS in the presentation of the Remembrance Day ceremonies. Acadie students were excellent leaders and shared their talents in speaking and singing, and offered their respects as wreath layers and colour guard. The student body at large showed respect and clear understanding of the importance of the day.
Gould Lake
Nate and Adam from Gould Lake came to share with Acadie students about the Summer '27 Outdoor Education programs. LDSB is unique in having their own outdoor education centre - the programs are credit granting and empowering! Registration is open Nov 18 11AM!
The summer programs are well attended by current Acadie students and alumni. If you are looking for more information, reach out to the office and we can put you in touch with past and present participants, guides and parents.
Bursaries are available for families in need, contact the office or Madame Lasko if your family would like some financial assistance to attend.

Red Maple Update
Red Maple books have been distributed to classes. There is not enough for all students to have a book at a time but they will get one soon as others finish up a book. You can also reserve many of the titles from our local libraries KFPL Library or Lennox and Addington Library We will also be ordering extra copies of some of the most sought after books. We once again thank parents for their generous donations to support our Red Maple Reading Program.
Drama Club
We have officially cast our performers and our production team for this year's school play which will be taking place in May! We had our first meeting this week to ensure everyone was familiar with their role and responsibilities. Performers also received information about the rehearsal schedule and play scripts. Please email brennans@limestone.on.ca if you have any questions about the drama club or upcoming production.
Popcorn sale
Our popular popcorn sale is back for November! There are five tasty flavours from Kernels: dill pickle, caramel, cheese, jalapeno and butter salt. All flavours are gluten-free. Each bag is $2.50. Proceeds go towards mathematics activities and resources at Acadie.

Community Partners
Technovation@QueensU
Technovation@QueensU connects local youth aged 12–18, particularly girls and young women, with Queen’s University student mentors to explore technology and entrepreneurship. Through hands-on workshops and mentorship, students turn a community problem they care about into a technology-based solution, such as a mobile app or an AI project. No previous coding experience is needed.
Students develop coding and business skills and practise presenting their ideas. They can work individually or in teams of up to five, with the opportunity to enter the international Technovation Girls competition, subject to its eligibility criteria.
Interested students can sign up now to be notified when 2026–27 registration opens.
