Message from Administration
We would like to begin by welcoming all new and returning students to École Lansdowne as we commence the 2014 2015 school year. We feel very fortunate to be part of a vibrant, friendly and supportive school community that works
together to provide the best possible learning environment for our children. We are confident that the up-coming
school year will be filled with much productivity, fun and academic success.
Thank you to our custodial team consisting of Mr. Mike Sutton and Mr. Keith Sutton who have rendered the school
spotless. They have exceeded expectations by going beyond the call of duty and we are very appreciative of their hard
work, positive attitude and work ethic.
École Lansdowne is committed to providing a safe and comfortable learning environment for your child. We strongly
believe in a community/school partnership. Consequently, we encourage and promote open and productive communication throughout the year. If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to contact your
child’s teacher, the office staff or administration at 204-338-7039.
