Welcome Back!

We are one week in and our students are starting to settle into the school routines. We are off to a great start and ready for a fantastic year. Every month we will send out a brief newsletter from the office but it is important that you are following your child's Edsby account for communication from their teacher. If you are not on Edsby, make sure to sign up so you don't miss out on anything.


We are excited to host an open house this month and have an opportunity for our students to show off their school community. This will be a time for you to meet the staff and have your child guide you around their learning space. It is time to open our doors again and welcome you all back into our building!


This year we are bringing extra-curricular activities back for our students. As events happen updates will come from the homeroom teacher. As for toys on our yard... if your child brings something from home to play with that is ok, but know the risk that it could get damaged, lost, broken or stollen. Make sure to have this converation with you child and remind them that there is also no trading. We want to see kids being kids and playing with respect and kindness. Let's face it, most kids live for recess and typically those are the stories that come home at night. With that said, it is a good time to remind everyone that there are always three sides to every story. Listen, ask questions, wait for your child to explain before responding.


We have had a few additions to our team. Please welcome back all our returning staff members as well as, Mr. Mendler SERT (Special Education), Mr. Forrest French, Mrs. Pritchard CYW, and Mrs. Flagler EA.


And finally, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child, please contact their teacher. The first step should always be to talk to the teacher.


We look forward to a great year at Kawartha Heights!

Go Cougars!

Late arrivals

If your child arrives late they need to go to the office to sign in. Kindergaten students cannot go to the exterior doors for access, they must go to the office. School starts at 9 and it is important to be in class at that time.

Agendas for grades 1-6 are available for purchase on School Cash Online. Please make sure to purchase one to keep them organized.
