Letter From The Superintendent
Welcome back to the 2024/25 school year! I am thrilled to see everyone return to our schools after the summer break. I hope the “Open House” events were a wonderful opportunity for students and families to reconnect with the schools, get settled in their classrooms, and meet both old friends and new faces. A big thank you to our teachers, staff, and volunteers for making this transition smooth and enjoyable.
As we prepare for the first day of school on September 3, we wish all our students an incredible year filled with faith-filled learning. Our goal is for this year to be one of positive growth, where you learn, develop, and become outstanding citizens. Remember, you are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe in your potential.
Take this final summer weekend to rest, enjoy time with loved ones, and create happy memories to carry into the school year. We hope your weekend is filled with joy and that those smiles continue to brighten our classrooms.
To maximize instructional time and ensure a positive learning environment, we are adhering to the ministerial order regarding personal communication devices during class. Schools will outline specific procedures in the Student Code of Conduct. We have confidence in our exceptional students and staff to make this a successful year in this area.
Communication is key at LCSD, and we want to keep you informed. Here are some useful links for our families:

"Encourage" is the 2024-25 LRCSSD Faith Theme. To encourage is to think, say, and do all things from the heart (le coeur) and to consider the heart (le coeur) of others when we interact. The bible tells us to "...encourage one another and build each other up..." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 As we begin this new school year, the staff at Lakeland Catholic Schools are excited to focus all that we do on this theme as we aim to build our students' awareness and skills of encouragement. We are excited to unveil our new LCSD theme song We Are One Body!
God bless,
Sheldon Germain
