Students in Mrs. van den Broek's class embraced our Indigenous Education Art focus for the month of February, with these beautiful, Norval Morrisseau inspired Thunderbirds! WOW!

If you have a change in dismissal routine for your child, at the end of the school day, it is very important to call the office first! We will then communicate this change to the classroom teacher. Thank you!

Also, please try to avoid buzzing the office and picking up your child(ren) between 3:15 - 3:30 each day. This is our busiest and most hectic time of day with busses being loaded and organizing students for Kiss and Ride. Thank you for your consideration.

KPRDSB's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Department works extremely hard supporting our schools and staff with strategies and resources to ensure our school communities are safe, inclusive, and foster a sense of belonging! Here are some fabulous February book recommendations...

Way to go Mrs. Redwood, Mrs. van den Broek, Mrs. Bouwmeester, and Ms. Beckett!

Mental Health and Well-Being is one area of focus as part of our School Improvement Plan.

PPM 169 (link below) provides information on Ontario's 3-year Mental Health Strategy and at KPR our Mental Health Committee is working hard to ensure our schools are meeting the needs of our students and families.

Our school is in need of some Playground upgrades! We would love to replace the pea gravel in the Kindergarten Yard with safer EWF (engineered wood fibre), and also add a Funnel Ball hoop to our Primary Yard. We would also love to re-paint the designs on our pavement areas. School Council is supporting us with this initiative. We have added a Link to SCO (school cash online) whereby families, community members, and staff, can make donations to this great cause! Above, is a link which will be open all year round.

When you donate through this link, you will automatically receive a Tax Receipt as it’s a charitable donation.
Donors do not have to have a School Cash Online Account with the new Credit Card Online Payment Option – you can log in as a guest.
Donations received through this link will be held at the Board Office in a Beatrice Strong Charitable Donation G/L 86-916-1-105-965. We appreciate any donations! Thank you!

As you may have already heard, new provincial government legislation has resulted in changes to the use of personal mobile devices in schools (laptop, cellphone, tablet or smart watch).

In order to ensure a focused and engaging learning environment, all personal mobile devices are to be out of view and powered off during the entire instructional day (9:10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) including both Nutrition Breaks.
