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!
As the year draws to a close, I want to extend my sincere best wishes for a restful and joyful holiday break.
Yesterday was Winter Solstice, a day to mark the return of the sun’s presence in the sky, and a day with important significance in Indigenous cultures and communities. It is recognized as a time of renewal and reflection.
Leading up to the winter break, our schools will continue to be filled with vibrant energy as students, staff and families come together in different ways, taking part in learning activities, events, concerts, performances, and spreading kindness through community involvement, food drives and other charitable activities.Â
This week was Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. We continue to educate students about the harmful impacts of bullying, and together with staff, focus on how we can promote safe, caring schools and create positive learning environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging.Â
Tomorrow, on Remembrance Day, we join Canadians across the country in honouring and reflecting on the service, courage and sacrifice of those who served, and continue to serve, courageously in times of war, conflict, and peace.
I hope each of you had the opportunity to rest, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the beautiful fall colours this past long weekend.Â
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.
Just two weeks into the new school year, students are becoming more familiar with routines and school is back in full swing. I have had the pleasure of visiting schools over the last couple of weeks and I continue to be inspired by the curiosity and determination of students, and the innovation and passion of staff. KPR truly is an awesome place to be!Â
As the 2023-24 school year begins, Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, has prepared messages to Ontario parents.
