Welcome Back!

Dear Families:


Happy August! This week we moved back into the school after a relaxing and rejuvenating summer.


I am Jessica Outram, the new Principal at Dr GJ MacGillivray. For the last four years I was Principal at Colborne Public School. Prior to that I worked in high schools for 15 years. Working in a big school is exciting and I’m thrilled to be joining the Dr GJ MacGillivray team!


Our Administrative team also includes two vice principals: Tamara Best and Christy Thompson.


We are committed to student safety, well-being, and achievement. If you would like to share your wishes for our school community for the upcoming year, please click here for a short survey.



We will send you another email at the end of next week with notes about the first day of school. This is a good time to start getting your child ready for school routines. Here is a short article you may find helpful.




We have a new Student Absence system.  You will see this information go out a few times over the next couple weeks.


New Phone Number, Web Address, Phone App for Reporting Absences

Hello to all KPR families!  This message is about the new automated Student Absence Report System that will be introduced in all KPR schools starting in September 2018.

This change means you will need to create a NEW account to report your children’s absences online.

To create your new account and register your children for the new automated system, please visit studentabsence.kprdsb.ca .  If you use the mobile app, please search for SchoolMessenger (one word) on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Once you have re-registered your child, you once again will be able to inform the school of your child’s upcoming absences at:

·         studentabsence.kprdsb.ca

·         1-844-434-8119

·         the SchoolMessenger mobile app on your cell phone or tablet.

Every family is receiving a magnet with the new web address, phone number and mobile app info.  Re-registering will allow you to report all of your children’s upcoming absences at a time that’s convenient for you - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.


Sincerely,



Jessica Outram

Principal

Dr GJ MacGillivray

Change to End of Day Routine for Grades 1-3

We want to make our dismissal at the end of the day safer for students and families.

As of Friday, September 7, 2018 we will be implementing a new dismissal routine in order to ensure student safety.  Please keep in mind this is a new routine and will take everyone time to adjust. Thank-you for your patience and flexibility.

The biggest changes are where students are exiting and where you can pick them up. The changes in routine affects our students in Grade 1 to Grade 3.

An email was sent through Edsby on Thursday, Sept 6 with details.

New system for reporting student absences

New Phone Number, Web Address, Phone App Coming for Reporting Absences


At KPR, student safety is our highest priority, and we thank families for adopting the automated safe arrival system to help ensure students arrive safely at school each day. 

 

Starting this September, we will be introducing a new automated Student Absence Reporting System.  Therefore, you will need to create a NEW account to report your children’s absences online. 

 

You will receive an email in August with instructions on how to create your new account and download the mobile app.  You also will receive a magnet in September with the new Student Absence Reporting System details.  Unfortunately, since ownership of the reporting software has changed, we cannot simply transfer your child’s information to the new system.

 

Watch for more information in the summer.

Cannabis and schools

Many parents and guardians have been wondering what effect the legalization of marijuana will have on  KPR schools. In short, KPR schools will treat cannabis in much the same way they treat alcohol: students of any age will not be allowed to use marijuana at schools, on school buses or field trips. 

 Once the new federal law comes into effect this October 17:

  • non-medical marijuana use will be legal only for those age 19 and older 
  • any student, at any age, could be suspended for possessing or being under the influence of cannabis at school
  • any student who shares marijuana with others younger than 19 could be expelled from school
  • it will be illegal for adults to use cannabis on, or within 20 metres of, school grounds
  • it will be illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis, and drivers age 21 or under will not be allowed to have any cannabis in their system.

 If you have any questions about cannabis at school, please speak with your principal or vice-principal.  Further information on the new law is available at Ontario.ca/cannabis.  Information on how to talk to your child about cannabis can be found at Cannabis Information – CAMH.

Every Student Matters Census

In the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, we are committed to helping all of our students experience success. To support this goal, we will be conducting our first ever Every Student Matters Census in February/March 2019 to better understand the needs of our students and school communities. Parents/guardians of students in Kindergarten – Grade 6 and students in Grades 7-12 will be asked to complete this voluntary census. The data collected from both students and parents will provide the school system, parents, and the community, with valuable information to improve our programs and services for the benefit of all students. Information on individual students will remain confidential.

 
We invite all members of our school communities to learn more about the census project, and ask questions, at Community Information Sessions happening in various regions of the board. All sessions will take place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
