As the weather turns more spring-like, our thoughts turn toward the end of the year. However, before we get too far, there are many activities planned and educational opportunities yet to be experienced. The last two months include EQAO, track & field, ultimate frisbee, special school visits, trips, School Council’s Ice Cream Social, report cards and Grade 8 graduation. We hope you will join your child in some of the many activities between now and the end of the year.

Only 60 school days until summer break! It is hard to believe that March Break is just a memory. The weather has been great and baseball fans know spring is here!
The last few months of the school year are always busy, and this year is no exception. We hope you join your child in some of the many activities and learning opportunities between now and the end of the year.
This year, Kortright Public School has a focus on improving our delivery of the mathematics curriculum. Specifically, we are looking at using a problem solving approach to math throughout the school.

A tremendous amount of school spirit was on display at the February 26th Guelph Storm hockey game where more than 230 parents and students enjoyed a lovely rendition of O’ Canada, sung by our Primary Choir. Led by Mrs.Gray and Mrs. Phelan, the choir did an outstanding job representing our school, and everyone in attendance was very proud of their efforts. It must also be noted that the 230 people who attended the game represents the largest number of tickets sold by the Guelph Storm to a school for the purpose of supporting its choir.
Thank you parents and students and congratulations, choir!
