We encourage all families to read the schedule. If you note that your student has a conflict (two exams during the same time) please see Ms. Bonney Morris-Pocock or Mr McKenna to resolve the conflict. With the release of the exam schedule, the school year is officially picking up speed. With only 15 instructional days left before grade 12 exams, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting much brighter. The band trip to Canada's Wonderland was a tremendous success and the focus for the arts will shift to the final concert and year end arts banquet. Our athletes continue to impress in the spring season as well. Track athletes are posting personal best times and distances, the rugby teams steadily improved all season, soccer and ultimate narrowly missed out on advancing for city and provincial championships and baseball is currently undefeated in KASSAA play. At grade forums last week, the central themes of kindness and respect for the community were emphasized as well as to finish the school year strong. We can do this Falcons!<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;">FSS Rocks Olympiad</h2>A huge thank you to Student Council for organizing a successful Olympiad event! This annual event is one of the best days at Frontenac and is a reflection of the effort and enthusiasm of the student leaders at FSS.

With a school wide pep rally in the morning, a Dominos Pizza sponsored lunch and fun games and events in the afternoon, FSS School Spirit was on full display.

The girls showed tremendous grit and defensive tenacity against a KSS team that possessed the ball for the majority of the game. However, when FSS did get the ball, their speed and skill was on full display. FSS speed and skill was on full display in the opening seconds of the match as Jenna Martin scored a try that saw her kick the ball twice and outrun the Bears defence to score a sensational opening try. With the game tied at 12 with a few minutes left, Delaney Brule followed up on a brilliant run from Olivia Kyte to score the go ahead try. Best of luck to the girls who travel to Lindsay for OFSAA June 4-6. Well done Falcons!<img src="/images/9562cd80-ac6d-4b56-92f7-8637e58d7f9f?fingerprint=ppb20260522162522" alt="IMG 6324" width="981" height="397" style="width:981px;height:397px;display:inline-block">Athletic BanquetMark your calendars!

Grade 12 Exit Survey

As part of Ontario Ministry of Education expectations, all graduating students are provided with an opportunity to complete a Grade 12 Exit Survey. This survey gives students the chance to share their experiences in secondary school, their plans after graduation, and how prepared they feel for their next steps.The information collected helps schools and the Limestone District School Board better understand student needs and improve programs, guidance supports, and transition planning. In particular, the results are used to strengthen pathways into postsecondary education, apprenticeships, work, and community life, and to ensure future students are well-supported as they move beyond high school.The survey is voluntary and anonymous. All responses are combined and reported in a summarized format to protect student privacy. Results are used for system planning and are shared with school staff, and board leadership to support ongoing improvement.

Rugby, track and field, soccer, ultimate and baseball are the sports for the spring season with hundreds of young athletes wearing the garnet and grey. Students in period three classes helped to beautify the school grounds last week by cleaning up the courtyards, the practice fields and the front of the school. We are still waiting for the arrival of plants to complete our front garden overhaul! The arts department has now filled their trip to Canada's Wonderland and will be preparing for their final performances for the school year in early June. Teaching staff are also organizing final field trips and school wide events to raise awareness for various people and special causes. As always, it is a good time to be a Falcon!<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;">FSS Admin News</h2>It is with a mixture of sadness and joy that we prepare to say farewell to Shannon Tyner. Shannon's positive energy and infectious smile have been a tremendous gift for all staff and students at Acadie and Frontenac Secondary School this year. We know our school community wish her the best of luck as she transfers to the next chapter in her life. We know wherever you go, the people that you encounter will be better for the experience. To help fill the gap for the remainder of the school year, we welcome back an old friend. James Bonham-Carter will be returning as principal until the end of the school year. We know from his years of experience at Frontenac, James is well aware of the needs of staff and students and will provide the steady hand needed to successfully end the 2025-26 school year.<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;">From Director Krishna Burra</h2>Dear Families, I am writing to share a few important updates and opportunities for families to provide input as we continue working together to support student learning, well-being for Limestone students.

Our shared focus remains on improving student achievement in key academic areas, especially literacy and mathematics, preparing students for future success, and supporting student engagement and well-being. To support this work, Senior Staff collaborate with the Program Team, Learning Partners, School Math Facilitators, and Instructional Coaches. Together, they build educator knowledge and skills through professional learning, instructional coaching, and the thoughtful use of assessment data to guide teaching. Collaborating with school leaders continues to be an important focus this school year. Three goals guide this work: strengthening how schools use data, planning professional learning that supports school goals, and building shared leadership within school teams. At the system level, structures, supports, and resources are aligned to keep a clear focus on these goals and ensure accountability as we work together to support student success. The Limestone District School Board values <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3DXxb04a7rgk2nPKDeWTgwvmJLR8dwivBOq74076XY7JBUNDNLMlY3MFhWUFMzRzFNMkJESE1WMVZQMS4u&data=05%7C02%7Cmckennam%40limestone.on.ca%7Cc4ae9d62d10d428a0c8208dea6f65c49%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639131774222732450%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yyJEFcru12tWIAkn0fwFSnM9WnWdhrWWTQl4Zcfxtz0%3D&reserved=0" title="Original URL: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Xxb04a7rgk2nPKDeWTgwvmJLR8dwivBOq74076XY7JBUNDNLMlY3MFhWUFMzRzFNMkJESE1WMVZQMS4u.

As part of this celebration, graduating students, as well as younger secondary students, are recognizing graduates’ achievements in a variety of ways. However, we want to inform families about one particular activity that has become increasingly concerning from a safety standpoint. “Senior Assassin” is a popular game among graduating students across North America that involves students “assassinating” one another using water guns, gel projectiles, or foam darts. The last person who avoids being “assassinated” wins. While the game is intended to be harmless, many of the imitation weapons used closely resemble real firearms. Police services are warning that these replica firearms pose significant safety risks, particularly in public spaces.
