Updates for Families: January 10, 2025

Hello everyone, 

Welcome back to school in this new calendar year! I hope everyone had time over the holidays to experience something that brought you joy. Our schools are excited for the year of learning ahead, and I hope students and families are too! 

We are starting the new year off well, with a special focus on well-being and mental health. Caring for others and being successful begins with caring for ourselves and having access to the resources we need to do so.  

This month we are highlighting information and tools that support our work with students, as well as resources available to KPR families. 

I invite everyone to follow along on social media @kprschools over the coming weeks as we highlight resources, supports and learning. All this beneficial information will also be available on the KPR website on our new Starting WELL page. 

For more information about upcoming days of significance, such as Family Literacy Day, please visit KPR’s Events Calendar. 

Take good care, 

Rita Russo 
Director of Education
