KILLAM PUBLIC SCHOOL

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.

Please have your child take a look at the lost and found items. We will be taking all items to Twice Nice at the end of the year. There are a lot of shoes, hoodies, tee shirts, some pants, etc. in the mix. If you notice some clothes missing make sure to mention for your child check it out.

Our Junior High Travel Club is in the early stages of planning a trip to Montreal, Quebec City, and Ottawa during Spring Break 2025! The dates for the trip are March 22-28, 2025. This trip is open to students currently in Grades 6-8. If you would like more information about the trip or are interested in registering your child, please contact Ms. Nielsen at cnielsen@brsd.ab.ca.

Final exams are fast approaching. Dates have been added to the school events calendar (linked at the bottom). PATs must be written on their scheduled date. If you have any questions about specific exams, please contact your child's teacher.

Our Care Closet is full of personal hygiene and clothing items. Please let us help your family with some of these items. We have lots of deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and shampoo. Please let us know if we can send some home with your child.

Do you have a Grade 9 student who will need bussing next year? Do you have a new kindergarten student? You need to register for bussing!

Bus registration for the 2024/25 school year is now open until 4 p.m. on June 27, 2024.

Parents with bus students need to register only if this is the first time that their child(ren) will be riding a BRSD school bus, such as new students beginning Kindergarten or grade 10 students who don't normally ride the bus but will be taking the transfer bus to Sedgewick.

Applications for school of choice/cross boundary transportation are now available on the BRSD Website.

For more details and eligibility information, please visit our website.

We are beginning to plan for next year. If you know a family that is new to Killam, has a kindergarten student not in preschool or a child that is planning to return to KPS (after a year away), please encourage them to contact the school to get information about registration. Knowing who will be attending next year helps us to most effectively plan for the upcoming school year and ensure supports that are needed are in place.

The 2023/24 Yearbook is now for sale. If you would like to order a year book, students have brought home a order form that you can pay with Cash or Cheque.
