1st Days of School
We are looking forward to the 2025/2026 school year and we hope you are as well. The LCI will open on a fulltime schedule starting on Monday, August 18th.
Please note, we have all of our students come to the school on the week before classes to get their photos taken, pick up their student ID cards (which are needed for textbook check out).
The first official day of school for Lethbridge School Division is Tuesday, September 2rd. However, on that Tuesday, we are only inviting the new grade 9 students to come to the school for their orientation day. Wednesday, September 3th is the day that all students will be attending classes together for the 1st time.
Tuesday August 26th – School Photos & ID Cards
School phots start today and go through until tomorrow. This is on a “drop-in, first-come first-served” basis. Once students get their school photo taken, they also receive their student ID card. All students need to drop by the school to get their photo taken at some point on these two days. (Times have been assigned by grade level to avoid congestion, but anytime on either of the two days will work)
Thursday August 28th – PowerSchool Opens
PowerSchool will open so that students can see their timetables. These should already be finalized in the spring. No changes to timetables will occur until the first day of classes. Students needing to Add or Drop a course can do so with their Grade Level Admin during the first week of classes. Please Note – The Add/Drop week is for adding or dropping course out of necessity only
Tuesday, September 2nd – First Day for Grade 9’s ONLY
All the grade 9’s have to do is show up on the front lawn of LCI by 7:50 am and we will take care of you from there! Feel free to arrive a little early for a chance to mix and mingle with your friends. You will be directed where to go by staff. The whole day is reserved for just the Grade 9’s to help them get acclimated to high school life and familiar with the building.
Tuesday, September 2nd – New to LCI Grade 10 11 & 12 Student & Parent Orientation
From 6:00 to 8:00 pm, any NEW TO LCI grade 10 11 & 12 students will need to come to LCI to pick up their new student packages. This will include their Timetable, Computer Login info, Bussing information, PowerSchool info, etc. A school tour will also be given at that time for students who want to be a part of it. Parents are invited to attend as a lot of important information for parents will also be presented (especially for out-of-province arrivals). Please see the posting on the LCI main webpage for more information. This information session will begin in the Learning Commons of LCI (just inside the main “triple doors” off of 5th avenue and to the right).
Wednesday, September 3rd – First Day for ALL Grade Levels
As students arrive on Wednesday morning, they can head straight to their 1st period classes to get ready to kick start the school year. Student will be receiving course outlines, going to check out textbooks, and finding out what supplies they will need for their classes all the first days of school.
Friday, September 4th – Last Day for Add/Drop
This will be the last day that students can request a timetable change to have classes added or dropped. Student timetables were finalized in the spring with the ability to make adjustments then. This week for adding or dropping courses out of necessity only.
Tuesday, September 9th – Meet the Teacher Night
At 7:00 pm in the Large Gym, there will be a short “Introduction to LCI” presentation given to students and parents. After the presentation, there will be a stand-up social opportunity to walk around and meet with each of the teachers if you so choose. This is an informal opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher and put a face to the name.
