The Information and Communications Technology department is pleased to announce that Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board will be providing 1:1 Chromebooks for all grade 9 and 10 students beginning in September 2021. 

The 1:1 Chromebook initiative supports KPR’s key priorities of providing equitable access to technology and greater opportunities to integrate technology as a tool to support learning.  These devices will be in your student’s possession from the time they receive it until the completion of each school year.  Each summer, the Chromebook will receive maintenance and be returned to the student in the fall. Students will be expected to bring this device to and from school daily as part of their required classroom tools for learning.

The following Google Form - https://forms.gle/fvebwDe9B75JaXxE6 - must be completed by families to indicate if they wish to participate in this program.   We ask that all forms are completed by Tuesday, September 7^th at 9 PM.  

As part of the 1:1 Chromebook initiative, educators will have opportunities to engage in professional learning to support the effective and innovative use of technology in classrooms. This learning will also provide educators with opportunities to explore strategies to create the conditions for respectful and responsible digital citizenship.   

More information with regards to Digital Citizenship can be found here.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR OCTOBER 7, 2021

1. This is a message from the Haliburton kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit

Good Morning Students:

This is a reminder from the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit about how the Smoke-Free Ontario Act applies to our school body.

You are reminded that it is illegal to smoke tobacco or use an electronic cigarette anywhere on school property or within 20 metres of the perimeter of school property.  Any one caught smoking or vaping on or within 20 metres of school property can be charged and the fine is $305.00.  Please note:  This law ALSO applies to the Elementary school beside you, which makes the entire street between the two schools a banned area for smoking and vaping because the 20 metre zones overlap.  Please also stay clear of the OPP Police Station driveway lanes just east of the school.  The OPP have requested all students stay well clear of the driveways for their safety, as police are often leaving the parking lot on emergency calls.  They really need your cooperation to make sure the sidewalk and driveways are completely clear of any pedestrians blocking their police cruisers.  

It is also very important to know that it is illegal to provide a tobacco or vapour product to anyone under 19 years of age and the fine for this is $490.00.  This includes students sharing a cigarette or e-cigarette by handing it back and forth.  The Health Unit has advised that once this announcement has been delivered to the students, regular visits by the inspectors will begin.  All infractions observed will result in a ticket being issued and no warnings will be given.  You are expected to comply with the law.  If you have any questions on this, please contact the Health Unit directly.

If you are in violation of the Smoke - Free Act there will also be school consequences.  

4. Good luck to the senior boys soccer team as they host Eastside Secondary School today at home. Go blue Dragons!

Only around 1 out of every 10 items put in the recycling bin ends up being recycled, and a large part of that ends up in our oceans, 8 million metric tonnes of plastic per year in fact. Now looking around our school yard you often see a lot of litter that didn’t even make it that far, so we would also like to highlight how important it is that we put our rubbish in the bins so our yard looks cleaner and it doesn't end up in any waterways or other ecosystems where it could harm wildlife. Stay tuned for our yard clean-up happening tomorrow! Every little bit counts ENSS.
