Learning Commons

I am honoured to serve as the Learning Commons Facilitator at LCI. As an avid reader and passionate guide, I am commited to fostering a welcoming and engaging environment where students feel comfortable, supported and focused. 

The learning commons is often reffered to the "living room" of our school- a dynamic space where students are encouraged to spend lunch hours with friends and spare periods researching and studying. In addition to offerning a comfortable area for study and collaboration we also house a computer lab, testing accommodations and circulate textbooks. We kindly ask that sudents are mindful of noise levels during class times and respectful of the atmosphere at all times. 

To help preserve our collection of textbooks and library books, please ensure borrowed items are treated with care and returned promptly. Textbooks and novel studies need to be returned at the end of a semester so we have an adequate amount for the next group of students. If any materials are damaged, students are encouraged to bring them to my attention as soon as possible so that repairs can be made. Materials that are not returned will incur a replacement fee, which will be processed through School Cash Online. 

At LCI, we proudly support and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our students and their families. In recognition of this diversity, we encourage students to select books that reflect the ethical and cultural values important to them and their families. While our collection is curated to be age-appropriate, it does include some adult novels that may not align with the values or preferences of every household. If you would like me to monitor your student’s selections and flag their library account with specific age or content related criteria, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support in fostering a respectful and inclusive learning environment.

Warm regards,
