Together</h2> Hello Lynx Families!We have reached the Thanksgiving Day long weekend which feels like a benchmark moment in the school year. The first six weeks of 2025-2026 are complete, and we have accomplihed so much. It certainly feels as if everyone needs a break to catch their breath before engaging in the next phase of Term One. Our Intermediate Baseball Teams competed in an Interschool Tournament on Wednesday Octobr 8th and the results were impressive! The kids all had a great time.  Many had played before, but also many took a risk and tried something new in a positive and supportive environment. One of the boy's teams won the tournament, and the Golden Bat trophy. The best part of the day was the team voting Connor Smith the MVP of the tournament, even though he doesn't play ball outside of school.  You could not get the smile off his face, and he has found something new he wants to pursue. A big "shout out" to Adam M., Matt G. and Matt B. for coaching and to all of the athletes who particpated with enthusiasm, team spirit and amazing sportsmanship! Best of luck to our Cross Country Team and coaches who are representing Southview PS next week at the LESAA Race on October 14, 2025. Go Lynx!On Thursday October 16, 2025, Southview PS will be distributing Indvidual Education Plans to many of our students' families for review and feedback. These are considered working documents that may be revised throughout October and sent back out to some families as finished documents. This will happen over the course of the next few weeks. We are looking for families to feedback on the plans developed for our students so that parent and guardian voices can be included! Please feel free to connect with your child's classroom teacher if you have any questions or suggstions regarding these important documents. We are making our way towards our fundraising goal of $4500 for the Terry Fox Foundation and have reached $2505 on our donation website which does not include some of the cash and cheque donations we have received. The whole school participated in the Terry Fox Walk/Run on Thursday October 9th, 2025. We are leaving the donation site available for one more week (until Friday October 17th, 2025). Please consider making a contribution by using the link provided in the Terry Fox section below. Thank you for your generosity and for supporting our effort to find a cure for cancer! Also a huge thank you and "shout out" to the students and Mme. St. Laurent who organized the fundraiser, the run itself and the opening assembly. Well done to all!Our next School Advisory Council Meeting will take place on Thursday October 16th, 2025 beginning at 6 p.m. Please consider coming out to this session, which will be held in the school library, to take part in discussions regarding important upcoming events in your child's school. The SAC committee is planning to host a Halloween Dance on the evening of Thursday October 23rd, 2025. Please stay tuned for further details to come!The week of October 14-17, 2025 will be a short week for students within the Limestone District School Board. The school is closed on Monday as it is the Thanksgiving Day holiday! Enjoy! Students will return to school on Tuesday October 14, 2025. We hope that your plans for the long weekend go smoothly and that it involves time spent with close friends and family!We wish everyone a terrific long weekend and a wonderful week ahead!John Ricci, Jen Cole and the Southview Learning Team!

Agendas can be found on the website under <a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/board_meetings-1719463739654" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="editor-link">Board Meetings</a>.  <h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Land Acknowledgement </h2>All meetings begin with a Land Acknowledgement. Trustee Elliott provided the following Land Acknowledgement: "The Limestone District School Board is situated on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek and Haudenosaunee. We acknowledge their enduring presence on this land, as well as the presence of Métis, Inuit, and other First Nations from across Turtle Island. We honour their cultures and celebrate their commitment to this land. As a photographer, I’ve spent all summer and fall taking photos for various tourism groups in the region, and have experienced first-hand how lucky we are to live where we live. I’ve taken photos of people sharing parks with their friends and families, cyclists in rural areas enjoying the open road, endless landscapes and sunsets along the lake, and large events that bring the community together to celebrate and have fun. I’m thankful for these opportunities to reflect on the shared responsibility we have to respect and protect this beautiful region, and am grateful to live, work, and learn here."<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Presentation</h2>A presentation from Umoja was embedded as part of the Report for Information 13.4.1: LDSB Equity Team Action Plan.<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Private Session Report</h2><details open="false"><summary>Private Session Report - October 29, 2025</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">During private session following at the October 1 Education, Policy, and Operations Committee Meeting:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Trustee McGregor provided an OPSBA update</li></ul>There was no other business conducted, or motions passed in Private Session.Earlier this evening during Private Session:The private session minutes were approved from the following:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">September 15, 2025, Audit Committee Meeting</li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem">September 17, 2025, Regular Board Meeting</li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem">October 1, 2025, EPOC Meeting</li></ul>Superintendent Young provided a property and legal update.Trustees discussed some Personnel updates.There was no other business conducted, or motions passed in Private Session. </div></details><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Reports from Officers</h2><details open="false"><summary>Chair's Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><img src="/images/3b73f535-6db0-57a4-bb4f-a5bb6232f53e" alt="" width="268" height="347" style="width:268px;height:347px;display:inline-block;float:right">Chair McGregor provided the following report: "I would like to begin my report tonight by extending a heartfelt thank you to everyone across Limestone who continues to create meaningful learning opportunities for students both inside and outside of the classroom. Your efforts are helping to shape inspired learners across the district. This week, Limestone was honoured to host a special Breakfast with Aaliyah Edwards, WNBA athlete and proud Limestone graduate. Aaliyah’s visit was an incredible opportunity for students to hear directly from a role model who embodies perseverance, leadership, and community spirit. We are deeply grateful to Aaliyah for taking the time to give back to the Limestone community. Limestone students also participated in Girls in Trades, a full-day event hosted by the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program at St. Lawrence College. Students explored hands-on learning in wind turbine technology, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, hairstyling, esthetics, brick and stonework, and millwork. This event is one of many that help inspire the next generation of tradeswomen and expanded career possibilities for Limestone students. Looking ahead, National Skilled Trade and Technology Week is next week – a celebration of student exploration and opportunities in skilled trades and technology. We look forward to highlighting the many ways students can engage with and pursue these pathways. Earlier today, Limestone hosted the Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Career Day for secondary students. This event was designed to amplify diverse voices and break down barriers by showcasing successful professionals from a wide range of industries. Students had the opportunity to learn about scholarship opportunities, post-secondary planning with guidance counsellors, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, the new Queen’s Black Mentorship Program, Specialist High Skills Major, and local employers and career pathways, and featured an inspiring group of panelists from the local community. The event was made possible through the support of the Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest, St. Lawrence College, Specialist High Skills Major, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, and Queen’s University. Thank you again to all Limestone employees, partners, and community members who continue to support students in discovering their passions and building their futures. This concludes my report." </div></details><details open="false"><summary>Director's Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true"><img src="/images/959f9ebc-0553-5f56-afed-83ccf39d2906" alt="" width="316" height="316" style="width:316px;height:316px;float:left;display:inline-block">Director Burra provided the following report: "Good evening Trustees and members of the viewing public. I have several updates I would like to share with you this evening. Thank you, Chair McGregor, for your comments regarding Aaliyah Edward’s visit with students earlier this week, the recent Girls in Trades event, the Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Career Day for secondary students that occurred earlier today, and for reminding everyone of National Skilled Trade and Technology Week next week. These are all great events that benefit a range of Limestone students, and are just some highlights of different learning opportunities provided to students. As a reminder to Trustees and the viewing public, we are in the midst of the fall 2025 United Way fundraising campaign. Given continuing, significant economic dislocation, housing costs, and food security concerns, it is critical for those that can support this campaign to do so, to help support some of the most vulnerable children, youth, and families in the region. Limestone is a proud contributor to this annual campaign. I should note that it was my pleasure to help support the United Way engaging with the secondary Interschool Council members last week. The Interschool Council is comprised of Student Trustees and student leaders from across LDSB secondary schools. This engagement is a new Youth United campaign to increase youth awareness of the United Way and partners who receive funding to support members of the community in need. The Interschool Council went on an abbreviated ‘Seeing is Believing’ tour for student leaders to see examples of services that exist in our communities to support a range of needs. I am sure we will hear about this from Student Trustees. I look forward to seeing how this initiative evolves and the difference students, and schools, can make in this year’s campaign. Tonight we have three reports for Trustees, one for action related to a financial update, and an information update related to Limestone’s Equity Action Plan. Part of that report will include a presentation that includes greatly valued partners in support of this work.This evening, Trustees will also see an interim update report for the LDSB Strategic Plan, 2024-2028. The report this evening will focus on our continued focus on goals outlined in the Strategic Plan and the high impact strategies we are utilizing to support the goals. Given the province has yet to release the 2024-2025 EQAO results that we have to include as part of our assessment of the Strategic Plan, tonight’s report is interim and we will bring it back once we have the EQAO results and other data to support our monitoring of the plan. Our current focus continues to be on improving teaching and learning in classrooms. These points of emphasis are critical components of the provincial and board priorities, but also integral to our equity work in ensuring that each Limestone student has the skills and confidence to access their pathway of choice as they navigate through their K-12 schooling. The stakes of our work are incredibly high, and we have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that we maintain focused attention on student achievement. It is also important for us all to remember the importance of this data particularly when it is triangulated, or overlaid, with Student Census data. As Trustees are aware, we have the second Limestone Student Census coming up in just a few weeks. Once we have the results and analysis of the Student Census data, we will have very rich information about specific groups of students in Limestone and their experiences. I look forward to continuing our critical work in Limestone with the new Strategic Plan as we move into the future, doing the best we can to make a difference in the lives of the students we serve.Thank you, Chair McGregor. That completes my update for this evening." </div></details><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">Reports</h2><details open="false"><summary>OPSBA Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">Chair McGregor provided an OPSBA report.</div></details><details open="false"><summary>Student Trustees' Report</summary><div data-lexical-collapsible-content="true">Student Trustee Ismail provided the Student Trustees' Report: "Good afternoon, Trustees and members of the public,We held our Interschool Council (ISC) meeting October 21, chaired by Mia Comeau and Rachel Kolosov. Our meeting consisted of a tour of three United Way KFL&A partner agencies for student representatives to better understand and gain new perspectives on the youth in our communities and local initiatives that support youth and families across the LDSB.To begin our day, ISC members and guests visited Youth Diversion, where Executive Director Shawn Quigley led an interactive session focused on understanding the importance of support systems in our lives. This experience helped student representatives reflect on the ways Youth Diversion’s prevention and intervention programs help students overcome challenges they may face and contribute to student well-being across our board.Our next stop was the Food Sharing Project, where ISC members learned from Andy Mills about how the organization supports equitable access to nutrition across many schools. Students were able to see the large-scale community effort that aims to help all students learn and thrive.And lastly, we visited the BGC South East, where we toured their facilities, including a robotics rink, gym, a new STEM lab, and many study and quiet spaces. The centre also offers accessible and structured programs that create a supportive environment for youth to develop skills and relationships with their peers and mentors.We discussed our schools involvement in the Youth United initiative, and schools are at different stages of launching fundraising efforts and building awareness to encourage registrations within their student bodies.The Interschool Council is looking forward to building connections between our schools and local community organizations that put tremendous effort in supporting student well-being.This concludes our October ISC meeting.
