JMJ staff celebrating PRIDE!

Congrats to our incredible grade 8 grads! We are so very proud of you and wish you all the beat in high school. Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar!

June is Pride Month around the world as a symbol of pride, hope and diversity. Today we proudly raised the flag @JMJ. @kprschools @kpr_equity

In this week’s Distance Learning Update to families: picking up personal belongings, access to playgrounds, summer school and special education resources. kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.ht…

On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, let’s all recommit to creating a more just world where 2SLGBTQ+ need not fear being discriminated against because of who they love. Stand up and speak out against hate. #loveislove #IDAHOTB

What a great day to get outside and explore! There's so much we can learn from nature.

It's #MentalHealthAwareness Week. Check out the resources we have put together for staff, parents, and students. Try our Mental Health Week BINGO. Find them all on our @kprschools website kprschools.ca/content/dam/kp… #BeWell

Happy Blursday! An idea to try when the days start to blur together. Make a daily schedule and add something different and specific for each day of the week. You could rotate your self-care activities, chores, or dinner ideas so they fall and repeat on a specific day of the week.

Tomorrow our friends @ECHO_CYMH are presenting a learning opportunity geared to support parents and caregivers. Please share and support these mental health training sessions. Les présentations seront en anglais, mais vous pouvez soumettre des questions en français.

We've put together a list of activities, tips and information for you and your family to help you stay active and healthy during self-isolation. Get started by learning how to make your own paint. 🎨 🖌️ bit.ly/3dtO4Bp

Distance learning keeps students engaged right now, but we understand the need for balance & flexibility. We want to help - our latest update has reminders about mental health resources, distance learning communication tips, and our tech hotline. bit.ly/3bC0who #WeAreKPR

The Ministry of Education has confirmed school closures beyond May 4, with more information and details to come. As always, we will share information with families as soon as we know more.

Hey JMJ, We sure do miss you but don’t worry, everything will be alright! Stay safe and healthy :-) drive.google.com/a/kprschools.c…

Happy Monday and #kprfirstday of distance learning! Good luck to students, teachers and families on this new journey. Here are some suggestions for students to help ease the transition and set you up for success.

KPR teachers are looking forward to reconnecting with students when distance learning begins Monday. A summary of our Distance Learning plan, along with tips for students and families, was sent in a School Messenger email to all families today. kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.ht…

Hey JMJ families, Here’s an idea as we welcome some sunny days ahead!

KPR families during these challenging times we have designated all schools as public wifi hotspots. You may access free of charge from outside our buildings. Remember to stay safe and practice physical distancing. “KPRDSB-OpenWifi” #wearekpr

Another great resource now free for all families. Many more resources available on our website: kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.ht… #KPRLearningAtHome #WeAreKPR
