Dear KPR Families,
It’s so wonderful to have our students and staff back together and engaged in the many daily activities that make KPR such a special place!
As we get back into daily school and work routines this month, we want to continue to emphasize the importance of taking good care of our mental health. It’s important that we talk about, and keep talking about, mental health. During the month of January, KPR will be talking and connecting about mental health and wellness using #KPRLetsConnect on social media. We also have specific resources available for students, including strategies and tips for talking, listening and connecting in support of good mental health.
As we begin to plan for next year, please let your friends and family know they can visit kprschools.ca to register for Kindergarten and to learn more about KPR’s awesome Kindergarten classrooms, where children, and their learning, are supported by caring, professional educator teams.
This month includes a number of significant events and observances, including Lunar New Year on January 22 and Family Literacy Day on January 27. Literacy is a foundational skill that affects all aspects of life, and opens up doors to many kinds of success. For more information about days of significance, please visit the KPR Events Calendar on our website.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend.
Rita Russo,
Director of Education

2023-24 School Year Calendar
We invite KPR students, staff and families to provide feedback on the proposed 2023-24 school year calendar through an online survey by January 31. After we review the survey results, the calendar will be brought to the Board and submitted to the Ministry of Education for final approval.
Kindergarten Registration
It’s Kindergarten registration time at Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. KPR schools offer warm, welcoming Kindergarten programs that stimulate and encourage children to reach their full potential. Visit kprschools.ca/kindergarten for online registration information and to learn more about KPR’s safe, inclusive classrooms, where children learn through play!
OPSBA Award Nominations
Know an amazing trustee, teacher, education worker, student or community member who deserves to be recognized for making a difference in their local school or community?
Nominations for the 2023 Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) Awards are now open! The nomination form and more information about the awards can be accessed online.
Immunization Information
Due to the pandemic, some students are not up-to-date on all immunizations needed to ensure protection against vaccine-preventable diseases. If your child received an immunization reminder letter from your local public health unit, this means that they are overdue for immunizations required for school under the Immunization of School Pupils Act.
Families can visit their local public health unit’s website for more details on how to update their records or where to access upcoming immunization clinics.
