Utensils for Lunch and School Snacks

Please remember to send your child to school with everything they need to enjoy their lunch. We are not able to provide any utensils to students at lunchtime. As well, please talk with your child about their lunch and snacks to ensure they are bringing enough food for the day. We find many children do come ask for more snacks. When needed we provide a bag of carrots to children who are hungry. 

No Dogs on the School Grounds

I would like to remind everyone that dogs are never allowed on school grounds. This is a city bylaw. 

Parents in the School

I know the first few days is hard for younger students and their families. There are many nerves and often children want someone to walk them into the school. Starting next week, we ask that parents say good-bye outside and allow their children to enter the school with their peers and teachers only. Not only is this amazing for building independence and resilience, but it also ensures we keep our school safe by not allowing unknown people into the building. Any adult entering the building is required to go first to the school office to check in. Thank you for your understanding. 

New Families Coffee Time

We invite all new to Killarney families to join us in the Peace Garden on September 5 at either 9:15 am or 1:00 pm for a meet at greet with our school council and school administration. We look forward to meeting you all!
