“When delivering snacks and hot lunches to classrooms, Tammy calls students by name and makes a concerted effort to get to know each of them, students absolutely love her! She has a way of making everyone, staff included, feel valued and special,” shares Jennifer Pym-Murphy, Special Education Resource Teacher and Early Intervention Teacher. 

During National Volunteer Week (April 14-20), we have been offering thanks to the many incredible volunteers who make a positive impact, share their passion for education, and support KPR students in so many ways!

This time of year brings renewal, energy and excitement in many ways, and we continue to be amazed by the learning and growth taking place in our schools every day!

Welcome back from March Break!

March is upon us and spring is on the way! The changing of the seasons is a wonderful time to reflect on our relationship with the land, water, trees and natural world. It is also a great time for us to appreciate the work of KPR’s custodial staff for their dedicated efforts to keep our schools clean during wet weather!

Dear KPR families,

Our schools are full of positive opportunities for reflection this month.

We are currently celebrating Black History Month - a time for intentional recognition of the achievements, contributions and lived experiences of Black communities. In our learning at KPR, we recognize the value of celebrating and highlighting Black History and Black Excellence every day.

One of the many things I am grateful for in my role as Director of Education is being able to share stories of our success as a school district, through the Director’s Annual Report.

Welcome Back! I hope each of you had a restful and enjoyable break, and that you’ve had a positive first week back at school despite the overdue arrival of winter weather!

School board trustees are the oldest form of elected representation in Ontario. Since 1807, generations of community-minded citizens have made decisions on behalf of local, publicly funded schools, building the foundation of our system today.

As the 2023-24 school year begins, Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, has prepared messages to Ontario parents.
