Mr. Czermak has been a part of the GREC and LOLPS community for the last seven years, and has not only made a positive difference in the lives of many students and families, but has been a strong advocate for the north. We will definitely miss Mr. Czermak and know that Enterprise PS is very lucky to have him. </span><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With the departure of Mr. Czermak, we say WELCOME to Mr. McCullough as our new Vice Principal. Mr. McCullough has worked at both Sharbot Lake HS and NAEC in the past, and is coming to us most recently from Bayridge Secondary School. Mr. McCullough brings with him a strong background in special education and will definitely continue to be a strong advocate for our school and students. We are excited to have Mr. McCullough join us at GREC!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">And last, but certainly not least, we are wishing a CONGRATULATIONS and goodbye to Ms. Pratt, who is retiring in June this year! Ms. Pratt has been teaching in LDSB since 2006, having taught at LaSalle Secondary, Sydenham High School, Ernestown Secondary, LCVI, and GREC over the course of her career. In all sites, she has left a positive mark, and at GREC, we have benefitted greatly from her dedication to teaching, commitment to mental health, and interest in bringing student art work to the forefront of the school and greater community. Wishing Ms. Pratt all the best in her retirement - we know you will continue to give back to the world as you move into this next chapter.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><hr><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondary Examinations</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Grade 12 students started examinations on June 16th and 17th.

Year End Letter to Students and Parents
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education has shared a letter for students, parents and families: </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Students, Parents and Families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To our amazing students: well done on finishing another school year! This is a good time to celebrate everything you have accomplished over the past several months. You worked hard, took on challenges, learned new things and continued to grow. You should be proud of all you have achieved this year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As you begin your summer break, take time to rest, explore your interests, and enjoy time with family and friends. However you choose to spend your summer, I hope you make the most of the months ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To the graduating Class of 2026, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. Graduation marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Whether your next step is college, university, an apprenticeship, the workforce or another pathway, I wish you every success in the years ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As families look ahead to September and the start of a new school year, there are a few things to keep in mind. Ontario schools will continue to focus on helping students build strong foundations in reading, writing and math while preparing them for success beyond the classroom. Students in elementary schools will learn from the same core materials and benefit from a revised Kindergarten curriculum focused on foundational literacy, math and science skills. In Grade 7 and 8, updated History courses will include new mandatory content on the history of Black Canadians.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In high schools, students in Grade 10 History will have new learning about Black history, the Holocaust and Holodomor. Students will also be required to demonstrate financial literacy as part of earning their high school diploma. To help provide clearer expectations and a more comprehensive picture of student achievement, high school students will complete written final exams during a dedicated exam period, and attendance and classroom participation will form part of their final grade. Together, these changes will help students stay engaged in their learning and be better prepared for life after graduation.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope the summer ahead provides an opportunity to recharge and enjoy some well-earned time together. I wish you and your family a safe, happy and enjoyable summer.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sincerely,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra Minister of Education</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1fba83f3-9f1b-4d60-a77c-3bc15cd094c8/Year-End-Letter-to-Students-and-Parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152216" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - English</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1466db2e-00ea-40f2-b63d-8d3f65d04a0d/Lettre-concernant-la-fin-de-l-ann-e-scolaire-l-intention-des-l-ves-et-des-parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152354" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - French</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p>

Pride Month Recognition in Limestone
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) Education Centre, along with schools across the district, is recognizing Pride Month in the KFL&A region by flying the Progress Pride Flag for the remainder of the school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Government of Canada notes that the manner in which the Canadian flag is displayed is not governed by legislation. The guidelines provided are not mandatory for individuals or organizations but are intended to offer general direction.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After consultation and clarification from Heritage Canada and communication with trustees, LDSB schools with only one flagpole will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag for the balance of this school year. Limestone’s goal will be to increase the number of schools with more than one flagpole and/or the addition of yardarms to existing flagpoles to display more than the Canadian flag. Until this goal is achieved, we will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag at sites with only one flagpole.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Displaying the Progress Pride Flag is a way for LDSB to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This recognition does not diminish our respect for Canada’s national flag; rather, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students, staff, and families feel welcomed, valued, and respected in Limestone schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Flying the Progress Pride Flag is one example of how LDSB demonstrates its inclusive culture. As a publicly funded school board, we have both a legal and moral responsibility to create learning environments where everyone can see themselves reflected and feel a sense of belonging.</span></p>
