    Dear KPR Families,

    Welcome to May, a time of growth, reflection, and celebration! Students are working towards important milestones in their educational journeys, preparing for, or actively participating in provincial testing, and getting ready for what’s next. We are proud to celebrate student achievement and recognize the meaningful role of families and KPR staff in supporting student success.

    Dear KPR families,

    This week spring is certainly upon us, with seasonal showers and warmer temperatures. Earth Hour, on March 28, is an important opportunity each spring, and one that aligns with the Board Action Plan commitment to strengthen environmental consciousness and explore strategies to reduce negative ecological impacts.

    Hello everyone, 

    As we come to the end of February, it is energizing to experience the days getting longer and brighter. I am also energized and inspired during my visits to schools where I see KPR students experience many forms of success and achievement, and demonstrate perseverance and determination, guided by the professional support of KPR staff.

    Hello everyone,  

    At this week’s Board Meeting, I announced my retirement, effective August 2026. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to serve public education in KPRDSB and to have shared this journey with such a wonderful community of students, staff, families and partners. I continue to be humbled and inspired by the ‘KPR spirit’ and look forward to continuing to make great things possible for students in the months ahead!
