đ Principal's Message
The warmer weather seems to have arrivedđ
A wonderful day on last Wednesday, when our flag football team brought home the Calvin Cup. They played with fairness, determination and represented our school. Thanks to coaches Evan and Noah who dedicated many hours to practice and guide our players. Thank you to Mr. Keeler for being the staff support for the team.
Springfest, on 5th June, promises to be a fun-filled evening filled with family fun and community building opportunities. Thank you to all who have brought in class basket items, raffle items and volunteer forms. Volunteers are required for organizing silent auction items, selecting games, managing inflatables, arranging prizes and treats, constructing and cataloguing class baskets, and assisting before, during, and after the event. Individuals interested in volunteering are invited to contact Jennifer King at jennifercelineking@gmail.com
Our annual talent show is on 22nd June. Auditions began this week. Many students came prepared and rehearsed for their moment to shine. Auditions will continue next week. We are excited to showcase out Timberwolf talent. Make sure you practice to be ready for the showđ. Thank you Ms. Olding for your time and talent.
Our gardening club is starting to clean up, weed and plant to assist with beautifying the front of our school. If you have perennials, soil, bulbs or bedding plants that you are willing to donate we would love to have them. Thank you in advance.
On Thursday, 28th May, Truedell will be sending 3 teams of Grade 6 & 7 students to compete in the Bayridge Elementary Computer Challenge at Bayridge Secondary School. The competition begins at 4:00pm. Good luck T-Wolves.Â
Our Words Matter initiative is underway! Classes took time to write notes to significant folks in the building on Wednesday. The delivery of these ânotes of careâ brought tears to some of our staff. We will continue our focus on this important work in educating students that the words we use DO MATTER. The program reminds us this isnât just about addressing harmful words;Â itâs about creating lasting, respectful, and inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive. By engaging educators with practical tools and empowering them to confidently respond to discriminatory language, empowering student voice and engaging parents/caregivers youâll foster a culture that values respect and unity.
A reminder that graduation is Friday, 19th June @ 6pm.
Friday. 29th May is a professional learning day for educators in LDSB teachers. There will be no school for students.
Thank you for your support in education,
Mrs. H. Barrett & the Truedell Team

Kindergarten and Early Learning
Registration is open and on-going for students aged 4 years by December 2026.
The Limestone District School Board is committed to your studentâs development from Kindergarten to graduation. In Limestone Kindergarten classrooms, children are involved in many activities designed to help young learners explore, discover, play and grow. Kindergarten programs across Ontario offer a full day of learning for four and five year olds. We are unique in offering both English and French Immersion programs in both Year 1 (Junior) and Year 2 (Senior) Kindergarten.
Students may start school in September if they turn age four (Year 1 Kindergarten) or age five (Year 2 Kindergarten) by December 31 of that year. Those students who are already enrolled in Year 1 Kindergarten do not register again. We welcome new students looking to begin Year 1 or Year 2 to our schools year-round, but we encourage parents and guardians to pre-register children in February for the upcoming school year.   Â
Discover Kindergarten in Limestone and learn more about our Kindergarten program, resources, and tips to help your student prepare for Kindergarten.Â
