Finally Zoe Brglez broke 2 school records, beating a 50m freestyle record by 5 seconds, and a 100 IM record by 10 seconds.

Congrats Wrestlers

Yesterday the PHHS Wrestling team attended it’s third tournament of the year, at St Mary’s, highlighted by some outstanding performances by your fellow Spartans.

Finishing in third place, Aaron Cardinal fought through a tough weight class, winning his final match 11-0, and bringing home the bronze.

Zach Reid also fought hard, in his first tournament of the year, finishing 4^th in his weight class.

Sean De Villa started the day with a huge upset victory over an opponent who many believed would win. Sean showed tremendous heart, and determination, pulling all the stops on his way to victory.

Your Spartans show a lot of promise, and we look forward to seeing what they can do throughout the rest of the season.

Great work Spartans. Get some rest and we will gear up for our meet next Thursday.

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.

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.
