Treaty Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Killam Public School is on Treaty 6 territory - the ancestral and traditional land of many Indigenous groups. We are grateful for the animals, the water and the forests that provide us with many resources we use each day. We are thankful for the diverse opportunities that this land offers. We respect the land in which we gather on today.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Dear Families,

With the holidays near, we send our warm wishes to our families. May this Christmas bring joy, peace, and warmth to your homes, and may the new year be filled with hope, health, and success.

We are grateful for the wonderful community that makes our school a special place. Your support, kindness, and collaboration continue to make KPS a great place to be.

May your holiday season be filled with everything you need, whether you're spending time with family, reflecting on the year's blessings, or creating new memories. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at KPS!

Ski Trip

We have made the decision to book our ski trip to Alliance again this year. As a school, we value the opportunity to experience new things while supporting community organizations. Our trip is booked for Jan. 30 and permission forms are posted to Rycor. Payment must be made with the form. We are grateful to Parent Advisory for their willingness to support this trip, paying for lessons and a portion of the lift ticket for all students. We have grouped our students into two cohorts: gr. 4-6 and gr. 7-9. We will need an 80% participation rate in a cohort, or the trip will be cancelled for that group. If financial assistance is required for your child to attend, please contact the school. The form will close on Jan. 6 and a decision will be made based on the number of students signed up.
