Oct. 19th Panther Weekly Update Posted on October 19, 2026 Week of October 19-23, 2026 Hello Panther Families, Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We had our practice lockdown drill on Thursday, and everyone did an excellent job. I couldn’t hear a peep as I walked through the building. We are looking forward to another great week of learning and growth at KPES! Be sure to send in clothes for the weather as we try to be outside, rain or shine. 😄🌦️ School Assembly & Black and Gold Day 🖤💛 On Thursday, October 22, students will participate in a school-wide WITS Assembly focused on respectful problem-solving, inclusion, and helping others. This learning supports our efforts to build a safe and welcoming school where all students feel they belong. Students are also encouraged to participate in Black & Gold Day and show their Panther pride by wearing KPES colours. Halloween Reminder 🎃 Students are welcome to wear costumes to school on Friday, October 30. A few reminders: No weapons or weapon-like accessories. Many classes will likely hold Halloween celebrations or activities during the afternoon. More information will be shared by classroom teachers if specific plans are being made. Looking Ahead: June Concert Date Change 🎶 Please note a change to our previously shared spring concert schedule. Dress Rehearsal: Monday, June 14, 2027 Concert Performances: Tuesday, June 15, 2027 9:30-10:30 a.m. 12:00-1:00 p.m. We apologize for the change and appreciate your flexibility. We wanted to provide as much advance notice as possible to help families make arrangements. The December Holiday concert date remains the same. Thank you for your continued support of our school community. Melissa 🐾
