Kindness, Respect, Success
Dear LMS families,
June is here and so is the
warm weather, however classes are still in session as normal! Our grade 8
students are in their final days of middle school and were able to participate
in their Moncton High Transition Day May 18th which caused great
excitement. The garden club is well under way preparing the community garden,
and flower beds on our property. As some activities end, we want to thank all
the teacher volunteers for their contributions to student life.
Panther Pawprints
Our Lewisville students have done an incredible job this
year showing kindness, respect, and success. To date this school year, 6,756
pawprints have been awarded! This is incredible and truly speaks to the
character of our Panthers; we are so proud of how hard they’ve worked to maintain
our expectations both inside and outside of the classroom all year long. Well
done, Panthers!

the office when arriving or leaving. We need to speak to a parent to gain

Band

Cell
phone use
A letter was sent home
recently to express the need for students to keep their phones home, in their
locker, or designated area in their classroom. The cellphone use during class
time interferes with learning. At this time, students may check messages at
recess and lunch. We have seen improvement with this and have received positive
comments from many students and parents.
Gardening Club
The days are getting longer
and warmer. Soon it will be time for us to get back into the garden – one of
the best times of year!
This year, we are wanting to
build a ramp to our shed, add some more soil to top up our beds and are looking
to purchase either a gas or electric powered tiller and a whipper snipper
(grass trimmer) to help make things a bit easier in the garden. So, if you come
across an old tiller or whipper snipper that works, would like to donate to
support the project, or are interested in renting a bed this year, please
contact Samantha LeBlanc – at Samantha.leblanc@nbed.nb.ca.
Looking forward to another
successful growing season.
Powerplay Young
Entrepreneurs
Grade 6 students are participating in the Powerplay Young
Entrepreneurs program in preparation for a showcase Wednesday, June 7th.
Pawprints
Our Lewisville students
continue to do an excellent job showing kindness, respect, and success every
day! In the three weeks of Term 3 so far, students have earned 696 pawprints.
Students can continue to earn pawprints by showing our values both inside and
outside of the classroom (such as during recesses, transition, and lunch) for a
chance to win a prize every Friday! Keep up the great work, Panthers!
Recycling Committee
The Lewisville Middle School
Recycling Committee, made up of 10 students in grade 6, participated in the
City of Moncton’s Earth Day Clean Up on Friday, April 22nd! With the
help of Ms. Phillips, Ms. Fasquel, and students from the Student Learning
Center, the committee spent 90 minutes collecting all of the garbage on our
school grounds. We’ve all noticed how much cleaner our fields, rain garden,
front entrance, and ditches are; we are so thankful for their hard work to keep
our school clean and to properly dispose of garbage and recyclables!
Cheerleading
The Lewisville Middle School
Panthers Cheerleading Team has had quite a season so far! Despite injuries and
illness, we are so proud of our athletes for working so hard in 3 competitions
so far this year. They won 1st place at Lewisville’s Claim the Claw
competition in March, 1st place at Bayside Middle School’s Laskey
Legacy competition at the beginning of April, and 1st place at Millidgeville
Middle School’s competition this past Saturday. The team has one last

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Cellphones and gaming devices are having a significant
impact on the social/emotional and academic success of students at our school. We
need your help in reminding your child not to use or have their phone during
class time.
Our policy has not changed in that cellphones are not
permitted in the classroom during instructional time and can only be used at
recesses at this time. Having the phones out of sight in classes has not been
enough, so we are reinforcing the rule once again. If they must bring their
phone to school, students are required to have them in their locker or placed
in a pocket chart in each classroom.
Now, all classes are equipped with iPads, and it is not
necessary for students to have the phone in class for translation, research,
etc. Cell phones were once used to contact parents on the way home from school,
but now there are many more issues arising as they receive notifications, messages,
and calls during class time. There is a student phone at the office and the
office can be called to contact a student in an emergency. Students will be
able to access their phone at morning recess and over lunch time to check
messages.
If your child is not successful respecting this rule or
misusing the phone during unstructured time, you will be contacted, and the
student will be asked to leave their phone at home.
We have many parents mention lately that they would support
a full ban of cellphone use all day at school. We are heading in that direction
as many schools have implemented this policy already. We will monitor the
situation and if we need to take further steps, we will communicate this to
you.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support with
this matter which will directly support a positive learning environment and
academic success.
Sincerely,
Mr. Bourque and Mrs. Carson

Panther Paws
Lewisville Middle School
continues to utilize our Panther Paw PBIS (Positive Behaviour Intervention
System) program to positively reinforce our students for showing kindness,
respect, and success. Students earn a paper pawprint for each act they show,
and it is entered each week for a prize draw. During term 1, the LMS students
earned a total of 1,890 pawprints. Our goal for term 2 was for students to earn
at least 2,000. We are overjoyed to announce that the students at Lewisville
earned a total of 3,261 pawprints during term 2! Grade 6 students earned 1,437
pawprints, grade 7 students earned 818, and grade 8 students earned 1,006. We
are SO PROUD of all our Panthers for working so hard during term 2 to show
kindness, respect, and success. WAY TO GO, LMS!
Cheerleading
Following their amazing, first
place performance at the Claim the Claw competition at Lewisville in March, the
Lewisville Panthers Cheerleading Team will be traveling to Saint John for two
competitions in April. They will compete at Bayside Middle School on April 15th,
and Millidgeville Middle School on April 29th. Make sure to wish the
cheerleaders luck as they compete to maintain their first-place title! We’d
like to extend a big thanks to our coaches, Allyson Legacy, Ms. Phillips, and
Hailley Poirier, and to all the parents who have been so supportive in our
season so far.
Badminton

Band Practice
Band practice is continuing this term.
Band practice will take place every Thursday. Please make sure to take
your instrument home every week and practice at home. The only way to
improve is to practice at home AND to attend the practice at school. See
you all on Thursday during the entire lunch.
Nut free and Scent free
Reminder that we have
students and staff with allergies to nuts and they are not permitted in school.
Please check the snacks that are being sent to school.
Some students are wearing
highly scented products to school. These products in school or on the bus are
not permitted as it triggers allergies and asthma in many students and staff.
Please ensure that shampoos, soap, and deodorant etc are low to no scent.
Bus Use
A reminder that students are only
permitted to take their assigned buses. Taking another bus is a bus violation
as per district policy. Please also speak to your child about appropriate
conduct: using inside voices, no eating, staying seated, sitting face forward,
using kind and respectful language. We need to work together to create a safe
bus ride and avoid distraction to the driver.
Hair check (Lice)
It is that time again that
lice can become a problem. Please check your child’s hair often to avoid
transmission.
Staff Parking Lot
Parents are asked to wait or
park along the sidewalk of the drop off area when dropping off or picking up
your child. The staff parking lot is for staff only.
Gardening
Our gardening club is gearing
up to start soon! Stay tuned for more info!
Lunches and snacks
Just a reminder that the
school does not have a cafeteria and students are required to bring their own
lunch and snacks from home.
Have a restful long weekend,

| September 9th, 2022
Dear Lewisville Families,
It was exciting to see the smiling faces of our students this
week! Our week was filled with grade activities and Panther Pride Assemblies
promoting our LMS Expectations of being Kind, Respectful, and Successful.
Each fall we review our Emergency Procedures with staff and
students and today we had our first fire drill practice. Please note that on September
15th, student will be practicing the Lock Down Procedure with RCMP
presence.
Please note additional information below:
·
School Cash Online-Payments for school
fees and other information are paid using School Cash Online. This is
accessed via the Anglophone East District website and is strongly recommended
to safely handle funds. Other notifications from the school and district are
also used through this system via your email. Required forms signed at the
beginning of the school year and student fee information is on this site. Using
the online method of payment alleviates the need to send cash to school for
health and safety reasons. A receipt is also sent directly to your email.
·
Student Fees have been posted on School
Cash Online. The fee is 30 dollars.
·
School Messenger is also required to
report you or child’s absence to the school. This can be found on the
Anglophone East website to register.
·
Arrival and Afterschool Dismissal Protocols-When
dropping off or picking up your child, the zone for this is along the sidewalk
on the school/gazebo side toward Highlandview Rd. It is dangerous to stop on
the street or along the opposite side of the road from the school on McAuley
and have the student cross the road. There are many more cars and buses at the
designated drop off area now which is causing some congestion. Please do not
park or turn in the private driveways as these residents need to exit and enter.
For some of you not as familiar with the area, you can access Highlandview Road
via Kenmore or Vista by the Crossman Center or by Sterlings. Please be patient
as students exit vehicles and cars move forward at the drop off area. Turning
in the street is unsafe. Afterschool, please wait along the sidewalk in your
car for the student. The parking lot is for staff only.
·
Student Late Arrival and Leaving Early-Students
sign in at the office. It is best to
call the school ahead of time at 856-3474 if you are picking up your child so
the child will be ready to meet you at the door.
·
Dropping off an item -Please label the
item with the student’s name.
·
Breakfast “grab and go” items are
available in the grade hallway in the morning if a student should need a snack.
·
Lunches-We do not have a student lunch
program. The cafeteria opening has not been confirmed.
·
Fountains-Students require a water bottle
to “drink” from the fountain.
·
Student Data Profile Information sheets
will be going home to update student contact information and addresses. Please
return them to the homeroom teacher.
·
Immunizations- Grade 7 immunizations are November
8th. Grade 8 immunizations are November 9th. The grade 8
immunization forms are already on file and new forms do not need to be
completed. Public Health can be contacted with inquiries.
As always, please contact us with any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
LMS Admin |

includes working with our students one-on-one, in small groups, in classrooms,
and supporting staff here at LMS. We
have enjoyed a busy start-up to this 2022-2023 school year and already have
several initiatives in place. Our
Blessings in a Bag program is up and running, as is our student-led Menstrual
Product Program. We are excited to begin
the 12-week Heroes Program this month which is aimed at supporting our grade 8
students. October 11, Maxi Rose from
Atlantic Wellness will begin an 8-week therapy group for youth aimed at
developing skills to handle big emotions and setting goals that promote
healthy, happy friendships and relationships.
Our community RCMP liaison will also be visiting our school to address
on-line safety with all our students. We
continue to poll the students to identify what they would like to learn about
or discuss during our guidance classes.
I will continue to provide monthly updates and offer a parent resource online
in support of what we are learning.
Please feel free to contact me with any of your concerns at dawn.elderkin@nbed.nb.ca . I am looking
forward to working with you and your children to support them this year at LMS!
Language Arts Team News
As language arts teachers, one of our goals in serving your
children and family in education is to support their ability to learn to read
and foster a love of reading both in and outside of the classroom. In order to
do this, we stock our shelves with a variety of books to spark an interest and
reveal new worlds for your kids to explore! The teachers at LMS are proud to
partner with Scholastic this year and coordinate our efforts to fundraise for
our classroom libraries and to help you get your hands on all the latest and
greatest books.
In order to do this, we’ve got two methods of previewing the
Scholastic flyers:
1. Your child can pick up a paper copy of the flyer and look
through it here at the school (and take it home if you so choose!). On the top
of those flyers, you will find a school code. Our code this year is: RC478343
All orders are processed online, just like any other popular
storefronts (ie. Amazon, eBay etc.), so you can order from the comfort of your
own home and be secure in knowing that you will not need to worry about order
forms and money getting lost in your child’s backpack!
2. eFlyers can also be found directly on
scholastic.com/bookclubs and can be previewed there. Fill up your cart and
enter our school’s code at checkout to support our classroom libraries.
All orders can be set up to be delivered directly to your
home, so this also makes for an excellent way to shop for a gifts around
birthdays and holidays.
Every time you order using the classroom code, the teachers
will earn 20% of the order in donation to purchase additional books and
resources to their classroom!
Thanks so much for your support in this new initiative, and
we look forward to reading with your family this year at Lewisville Middle.
We wish you a great rest of the week and relaxing long
weekend,
LMS Admin

| Hello Parents and Guardians of Lewisville Middle,
The Drop Off Zone along the sidewalk has caused some safety concerns
during morning drop off. We need your cooperation so students are safe, as
well as the traffic using McAuley. The drop off area is not a parking area. It is meant to drop off students by the sign
and then drive forward into the road to proceed one after the other. At this
time, if there are cars parked, the other cars cannot move ahead and, therefore,
cars are not able to flow properly. Please drop off your child and proceed so
the line up moves along. Using Highlandview to access the area is recommended
as turning in The Village driveways and u-turns are causing congestion.
Cars parked on the opposite side of the drop off area are causing students
to cross a busy street. This is not safe.
The staff parking lot is not a drop off area. Our space is limited and cars
dropping students off are causing safety concerns for staff entering the area
and buses leaving.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping your children, staff, and
community safe. We have asked for RCMP support to monitor the area and staff
will be present in the busiest times to ensure student safety.
Sincerely,
Administration
