6) A Message from Learning Disabilities Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (LDANL) (Parents/Guardians): As it is known, our rural communities are faced with problems in regards to accessing many services. This is why LDANL has chosen to dedicate an entire program to help serve individuals living outside of St. John’s who could benefit from extra support with their reading and/or math. LDANL is currently offering up to full funding to help those living in rural areas access our learning disability specific one-on-one tutoring. No formal diagnosis needed! Please see attached for a poster which can be distributed to other teachers, parents, students or posted around your school and community! Along with our tutoring programs, LDANL offers other programs and services to serve those living in remote areas of our province. I have also attached a poster detailing more of our services which could potentially benefit others living in your community. As the school year continues and challenges arise, please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can best assist you and your students in the rural and remote areas of our province. Please also see website: https://www.ldanl.ca/rural-nl-tutoring-support/

7) Couple of Student Reminders (Students): a) When playing basketball outdoors, please use only our rubber outdoor balls. Indoor balls are not permitted use outside. b) When moving volleyball nets, please make sure they are not dragging on the floor - due to damaging the floor. c) Students are encouraged to recycle! There are many recyclable cans and bottles going into the garbage bin instead of the blue recycling bins. Let's do our part for the environment please!
