New Lasalle Elementary School hosts Open House August 31st

Families are invited to tour the new Lasalle Elementary School on Thursday, August 31, 2023 from 1 pm to 3 pm. A barbecue will also be held.

Lasalle Elementary School will welcome its first cohort of students when classes resume on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Projected enrolment for the start of school is 350 students.

Rainbow District School Board’s new French Immersion JK to Grade 6 school in New Sudbury completes the Lasalle Secondary School campus which includes the Lancer Dome, a multi-purpose recreation facility for student and community use.

The three-storey 47,480 square foot facility has 19 classrooms and a gymnasium.

Classrooms have been designed to bring in the natural light and provide an ideal environment for teaching and learning.

The library is located in a big, bright space that will also serve as a gathering place for students.

Before and after school programs will begin when the school opens.

Infant, toddler and pre-school child care as well as the EarlyON child and family program will be offered as of January 2024.

The new build incorporates a number of green features as Rainbow District School Board continues to make sustainability a priority, including R30 exterior walls, heat recovery system, toilets and urinals with sensor activated flush valves, a building automation system and LED lighting with occupancy sensors.

The school accommodates students from Ernie Checkeris Public School, Carl A. Nesbitt Public School and Westmount Avenue Public School which closed at the end of June.

Lasalle Elementary School is located at 1545 Kennedy Street in New Sudbury.
