Dear KPR Families,

As we near the end of the first three months of the school year, I want to recognize the incredible learning and growth within our KPR community. Educators, support staff and administrators have been busy preparing report cards and progress materials to communicate students’ learning to families. Working together, educators, school staff and families continue to support the unique strengths, interests and needs of all learners and nurture many kinds of success.

As Indigenous Peoples Awareness Month in KPR draws to a close, we look forward to continuing our journey throughout the rest of the year. I extend my continued thanks and appreciation to KPR’s Indigenous Education department for the wealth of resources and opportunities available to engage and guide us all.

This week is Bullying Prevention and Awareness Week, serving as a reminder that by working together we can promote safe, caring schools and create positive learning environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging. To learn more about bullying prevention at KPR, visit our board website.

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, marking the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. I encourage you to and how you can become an ally by adopting simple but powerful actions all year long.

Please visit for a list of other upcoming significant dates.

Sincerely,
Rita Russo
Director of Education
