Working With You
MS. CAINES - LEARNING AND STUDENT SUPPORT COORDINATOR
ABOUT
This is my third year working at Lakecrest and it is indeed a pleasure to return. This is my 14th year in the education and counselling field and I am looking forward to seeing the challenges, learning, achievements, and excitement that this new school year will bring.
​
In my new role as the Learning and Student Support Coordinator I am especially interested in how we can work together to provide a holistic and child centered learning environment, supporting the mental health and wellness of all children.
​
I invite all families, children, and staff to drop by my new office on the second floor.
