PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
It was great to see so many of you at Back to School Night. We are very lucky at Kerby to have the support of families and community members to create such a collaborative and cohesive school environment for our children.
I posted a video on my Principal's facebook page last week about drop off and pick up, but wanted to remind everyone of some basic rules to keep everyone safe before and after school. Please remember that parking on Beaupre is for kindergarten parents who have purchased a parking pass only. The yellow curb on Beaupre as well as the cut out on Kerby are for drop off and pick up only. There is no parking there during those times. Also, please avoid crossing Beaupre in areas that are not crossing zones. Students and parents should only be crossing at Kerby or Touraine.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!
Sincerely,
Dr. Delgado

LEADER IN ME
GREEN TEAM
In order to maintain Kerby's status as a green school, we try to continue with past initiatives as well as start new ones every year. This year, we are looking forward to collaborating with a student and parent leaders to organize ideas and projects to help Kerby stay as green as possible. Our Green Team is looking for a logo to represent the club. The logo should represent what it means to each student to be "green" and environmentally friendly. Please click on the link below for more information about the logo contest.
All entries are due by September 30th.
