Welcome Spring; how times have changed,

These are unprecedented phases of our lives and they call for unprecedented measures.  Everything Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is implementing is directed by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education.   More than ever, please make sure you stay connected to KPR at http://www.kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.html.

Dear QE Community,

We are excited to start distance learning with your child(ren) Monday.  Every member of our staff has contributed to provide students and families with all they need to continue learning. 

This is a journey we are taking together.  There are going to be bumps in our learning curve as we enter in to the new world of distance learning.  It is uncommon ground for you, or students and our teachers.  Please be patient with yourselves and us. 

You can help.  First, set time and physical work space aside for your child(ren) to learn every day.  Set up a schedule and adhere to it.  Reach out to your teachers’ and or myself if you need any support.

Second it is important that we are all respectful and mindful of the physical distancing measures in place to safeguard our health.  Both schools and all public libraries have Wi-Fi hotspots.  When you use a hot spot, please respect social distancing.   Do not gather in groups over five and stay apart by two meters.

We are in this together,

Be well QE,

Sincerely,

Rachelle Duffus
