Lauderdale has an active School Council that meets every 3rd Wednesday of each month starting at 6:00pm to discuss school activities, provide support to school initiatives and collaborate!

All meetings are held virtually via Google Meet. Everyone is welcome! You will need to be logged on to your school zone account or your child’s account to access the meeting.  If you are not logged in, you will have to be granted access to the meeting from a staff member. Please call the school if you have any questions. Hope to see you there! 

Please check SchoolZone for our monthly link and be on the look out for a paper notice sent home. Please join us at these monthly meetings as this is another avenue for enhancing school involvement and parent, community school partnerships which we know supports student success!

We know that life is busy; many of us cannot commit to participating in School Council and PAC, but please ensure your continued involvement by supporting your child’s learning at home.  School involvement takes many forms and the most vital is the support you provide by asking about their daily activities at school, read, read and reading together, checking their backpacks daily, checking and signing the agenda daily.

At Lauderdale School, we maximize student achievement through high academic and behavioural expectations and a strong focus on teaching and learning.  Our students develop a strong sense of pride in their accomplishments.  They acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to be responsible and skilled participants in the community.  In a small school atmosphere, we offer a safe, caring environment where students and families feel a sense of belonging as a responsible, respectful and dedicated group of learners. We offer full day Kindergarten, and grade one to six programming in regular classroom settings. French as a Second Language is offered to students in division two.  An emphasis on music in all grades is encouraged.  We are also a district site for elementary students requiring a modified academic program.  As a staff we are focusing our efforts on Universal Design for Learning that will provide multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement for all students.  Using this focus we encourage our learners to be motivated, strategic, goal-oriented, resourceful and knowledgeable. Lauderdale is partnered with the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation and the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation to support our full day kindergarten program.
