As we prepare for the start of the school year, we encourage all families to download the MyLKDSB app, an easy and convenient way to stay connected with your school and the Lambton Kent District School Board.

Through the app, you can:
• Receive important school and board notifications directly to your mobile device
• Access school calendars and upcoming events
• Stay informed about news, announcements, and reminders
• Access the latest information from your child's school anytime, anywhere

Downloading the app before the first day of school helps ensure you don't miss important updates throughout the year, including school events, field trips, weather-related notifications, and board-wide announcements.

Getting started is easy. Watch our quick how-to video to learn how to download and set up the MyLKDSB app in just a few minutes:

See you soon!
