When reporting an absence through this method, please use the email addresses we have on file with your contact information. This will reduce the number of follow up calls we may have to make. You can still leave a message on our voice mail box between the hours of 4:00 pm and 8:00 am, email your child’s teacher (please also send to either [email protected] or [email protected]) in case the teacher is absent that day.
Family LRC Passes – West Haven Public School is excited to continue a pilot project with Ever Active Schools, in collaboration with the Leduc Recreation Centre (LRC) and Healthy Hearts. We have one family pass for admission to the LRC that our families are welcome to borrow for a week at a time. Note: Due to Covid 19, the use of the LRC amenities must be booked. This can be done through downloading the app at https://www.leduc.ca/liveleducmobileapp , by contacting our Guest Services at 780-980-7129, or booking in person at the LRC.
